I develop websites and photos
While we were in Austin you may have seen some of our #SPYRonTV tweets and know that Marla was on NBC & CBS. Now today, just by chance and for a completely different reason, she’s on USA Today’s website :) (at 4:04)
BTW Joel Runyon makes his on screen debut in the movie :)
I’m predicting that in 12-18 months Primal/paleo will no longer be a ‘thing’ and instead will have replaced most conventional wisdom about healthy eating.
Just in the last few months I’ve seen the number of new Primal/paleo’rs dramatically increase. More and more people are cutting grains, swinging kettlebells, crossfitting and, most importantly, convincing their family and friends to give it a shot.
With this exponential growth it appears that the movement’s quite rapidly approaching the tipping point.
Here’s a small sampling of my first shots with the olloclip macro lens. I’m a big fan.
All shots are right out of the phone, untouched. No sharpening, color correction, etc.
No, the collage didn’t just magically happen that way, I just assumed you knew that…geeeeeeze :P
One more reason for me to shoot nearly exclusively with my iPhone 4S, I picked up an olloclip. If you’re not familiar, the olloclip was a Kickstarter campaign to create an uber simple 3-in-1 lens for the iPhone. It includes a wide angle, fisheye and macro lens in one tiny package. I’m already a huge fan of shooting with my 4S so adding in some fun lens options just adds to the obsession :P
Here’s a little sampling of the differences between the lenses. From top left to lower right we have no olloclip, wide angle, fisheye and macro. All shots were from the same position so obviously this isn’t a test of the macro abilities, but I’ve gotta admit the macro is more fun than I expected. I’ll be posting some of those shots in another post.
I’m 29. On average I eat 3 times a day. In my lifetime I’ve eaten over 29,000 meals. Taking time to understand proper nutrition is worth it.
I was just going through the photos on my iPhone and felt compelled to post some of the shots from SXSW. We had an absolute blast, as usual. We were uber busy with photoshoots and meetups, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Such a great time.
These are just some shots out of my phone, but if you’re interested in checking out some of our legit event photography from the Copyblogger Party, Genesis Connect and The Minimalists Tour, head on over to SPYR.at / It’s where we’re at yo!

It’s impossible to mentally grasp the scale of our existence without reference points. Surprisingly this simple animation puts things into perspective extremely well.
It’s unfortunate that it falls short in the design department because the actual data presented is quite amazing.
It’s a flash animation, sucks I know, but it’s worth putting down the iPhone and heading to a computer to check it out.
Slate has a great article about Chipotle and how they’re revolutionizing the food industry (a la Apple) although not getting the credit they deserve.
This further solidifies my love for Chipotle and I can’t help but be thoroughly impressed by their use of sous-vide cooking (typically considered only for cutting edge haute cuisine). There’s a reason everything tastes so good.
Chipotle’s definitely a standout company in a space where it’s nearly impossible to rise above the ‘fast food’ label.
Reading about their restaurant in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan has me jonesing for a quick little trip to NYC. At this store they have a renowned chef on the line testing new recipes. That’s not only impressive, but quite brilliant.
It was a nice evening for a little sunset shooting. Dave with his Canon 60D, me with my iPhone 4S.
This was shot, edited and uploaded all from the phone, something that I quite like doing these days. So when I posted it on the interwebs some questions cropped up about the apps that I use to post-process.
First I just want to say that these are by no means the best apps for editing on the iPhone, they’re merely the tools that I chose to use for this photo. And the apps that I use do change relatively frequently, for example, Pro HDR is one that I downloaded while we were out shooting, so don’t consider this an exhaustive list.
This photo in particular was shot using the Pro HDR app, edited using Snapseed, Mattebox, re-processed a couple times using Pro HDR and finally color graded using Camera+.
It’s funny because we have immense artistic power with Photoshop and Lightroom, but overcoming it’s limitations and shooting and editing solely with the iPhone is very fulfilling.
If you’ve been getting into iPhoneography I’d love to see some of your work. Post links in the comments or to Google+ or Twitter. :)
Can you commit to 9 cups of vegetables a day?
Dr. Terry Wahls was wheelchair bound with MS. That was until she went Primal/paleo and began consuming 9 cups of vegetables a day, along with grass fed and Omega-3 rich meats. After 7 years of the “best” in medicine, it took her just 3 months to begin walking. And after 9 months she was able to ride 18 miles on her bicycle.
Many have questioned the validity of the “caveman diet”, but I have yet to find any proven opposition to it. Time and again, however, I find amazing stories like this.
If eating Primal can cure MS how much better can it make you feel when you’re already healthy?

Want an absolutely simple fitness and nutrition plan? Our little site Physifit was making the rounds on social media this past week. People seem to like the simplicity of our 2 step process :)
It’s no secret, but there’s something about shooting, post-processing and uploading photos from my iPhone that I really like. Granted, the shots and post processing doesn’t stack up to our DSLR/RAW processing, but it sure is fun.
I was sleeping at semi “regular” hours at the end of 2011.

This is absolutely beautiful and may be hanging somewhere in our house in the near future.
I’m a sucker for killer information design and this guy really nailed it on this one.
So if you need a little photography cheat sheet or even if you have no interest in photography and just want something pretty to hang on your wall, you can head on over to Zazzle and pick one up.
It was a glorious day for football yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised by my second favorite team, #anyonebutgreenbay ;)
The game convinced me to finally refresh my Anyone But Green Bay T-Shirt and I’m really digging the new design. If you wanna rep your second favorite team, get the shirt here.
