October 21

I canât remember the last time I used a cell phone photo as my picture of the day, but Iâm allowing it today. Partially, this shot lets me show off a new feature that only the iPhone 7 Plus has: computer bokeh! I have the beta version of iOS 10, which gives me âPortrait Mode,â a camera mode that uses depth maps generated by the two onboard cameras to calculate and emulate a âbokeh effectâ that makes it looks like you took a picture with a large-sensor DSLR. Fun!

Tonight I shot a food video of Amanda making profiteroles. What are profiteroles? I donât blame you for asking; I had no idea either. Itâs basically (I think) a small, hollow pastry covered in sweet sauce. We stuffed ours with homemade whipped cream and topped it with melted chocolate and caramel.

We got started setting up as soon as I got home from work, and we wrapped up right around midnight. I donât think any of us realized how late it was until we checked the time at the end. The shoot went way better I think than any of us expected it to. Now I canât wait to start cutting the thing! I guess we need to figure out music first, huh.

Presley is an outsider artist mostly know for his drawings of himself interacting with characters from his imagination and other scenes referencing his daily life.
