The New Kung-Fu (Un-Edited)

A thought experiment encouraging office workers to simplify. My focus is on procurement, but this video applies to any job.

Kung-Fu is the perfect analogy because evolution is mandatory. There is always someone pushing to improve and innovate. Failure to adapt = defeat.

Note: I have two versions of The New Kung-Fu, this one is a little edgy (PG-13 if you will). The more “professional” version can be viewed at The Source.

Genaray LED-6800 Light Review

I purchased the Genaray LED 6800 light via a B&H daily sale last week and wanted to do a review since there isn’t much information online about it.

It gets the job done, but there are some cheaper elements to the design and connection points that need additional consideration.

I also used this video as an opportunity to test out different shots within my house to film videos.

Lens Review: Sony 18-105MM F4 Zoom

I recently purchased a used Sony 18-105MM F4 zoom lens for APS-C cameras on Ebay and decided to do a proper review.

I test both video and pictures as well as compared the performance to a 35MM F1.8.

It is a well-built lens and a decent performer, but it has some issues in the corners, it isn’t next level crispy, but what do you want for an 8-year-old zoom lens?

Camera Purchasing Advice

I made so many mistakes buying cameras and lenses that I thought I would make a video (hopefully) helping you avoid the same pitfalls.

In this video I discuss:

  • How to save $$$ on camera equipment
  • The first type of lens you should buy
  • Features that are important for someone starting out (not just fancy specs)

NJ Covid-19 Vaccine Experience

I was lucky to receive the COVID-19 vaccination (first shot) at the Gloucester County Mega Vaccination Center (Rowan @ GCC) this week.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to make a post about it, but I thought it would benefit people to know how the lines operated. While this is a South Jersey specific post, I think some of the tips are universal.

Overall, it was a very smooth experience and to-date I have experienced no side effects outside of a slightly sore arm (no worse than the flu shot).

Short Video: Hard Work vs. Futility

I had this idea of a plague of locusts descending on a farm over and over again… does the farmer keep trying, keep replanting? Or does there come a time when you pack up and move on?

I haven’t made anything for this channel in a few months, so I wanted to explore this idea with my stock footage subscriptions and see what would happen.
