Davis, that was an excellent post.

Spot on, nail on head.

Why thank you Andrew. If you visit LA consider yourself booked into deluxe accomodations if it is a fairly brief visit. The walls radiate Hollywood energy as there have been some very special people who have walked the halls.

It is my honor to share.

Davis, that is very gracious. Actually, that is unbelievably awesome! I am honestly blown away at just the thought. Thanks man...

Positive waves baby... I am gonna dig soakin' up that good vibe.


If it fits your schedule, I could take you up on that offer when my red Day rolls around. You have your camera right? I will have mine shortly, let's go shoot something... what would benefit you... location footage to share with red users like that great house in the hills. Just let me know, we would have a great time.

Davis, you just made my week with a simple and honest gesture.

Cheers,

Andrew

As far as worship goes, I think that religion has manipulated and twisted us as people.

Prejudice much?

Forum etiquette = epic failure.

Nice...

Absolutely nothing is going to get better until there exists a majority of people roaming this earth who share a common consciousness. A consciousness where the common person no longer holds onto the fear, gullibility, lies, and selfishness of the past. In essence, people need to "evolve". Humans need to evolve to the point where they don't kill tigers and grind up their penises for mixing with green tea to achieve magical sexual powers, eating dead processed food while washing down a Zoloft with a Coca Cola and then wondering why they feel and look like shit, sending their hard earned money to some religious leader on TV who wears more bling than most hip hop stars, and trusting a news network that plasters images of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton in their headlines while ignoring millions of starving people around the world. You can count on things getting a lot more painful before this happens.

So to sum up my advice to you Evolve, is to use your RED camera to create content which raises consciousness, and to help bring together people who share this common counsciousness. Do this with every ounce of intensity you can muster. Perhaps someone will recognize your value and reach out to you with a spot on the lifeboat. You have no guarantee, but the people who refuse to evolve certainly won't be getting a spot because they simply do not deserve one.

Oh, and I don't think this post should be deleted because I tried to offend everyone equally. :weight_lift:

Davis, you are obviously a thoughtful guy and that was a damn fine post.

If you ever need any help pursuing that vision - another RED, an underwater housing, or just another body let me know. Anything we can do to raise that consciousness is a good thing.

No problem. Instead of thanking me you can thank the young couple in Bordeaux who knew me for about 2 hours before handing over their house to me for an entire week when I was 21 and traveling on $20 a day, thank the Bedouins who saved the lives of our group while lost in the searing Sainai, and the nice Austrian couple who took me in after all my belongings were stolen and I was hungry. Magic happens.

I must warn you I am beyond eccentric and sometimes host some interesting activities at my home.

Sometimes I leave the country on a whim and take opportunities as they happen. So very brief visits from various people are ideal.

FYI, I do not have my RED in my hands but it she is shipping in the next 2 weeks and one of the more famous and talented DOPs may be hiring her on his next movie. So I may have to wait a few more months to spend quality time with her.

As I told another person recently, I want to shoot the humming birds in my backyard using high frame rates as I have only shot them with my still camera. I also want to watch them on the TV. So you could help me with this.

Cheers
