You talkin' ta me?

Hey there great big world :) There's been a lot happening lately! I case you didn't know, blondie and I finally made the move to NYC(back in October)! We're all settled in and working. Dig on some of the photos of what we've been up 2! There's some touristy style fun AND something classy :) OH...and the blog...she's gonna be moving soon too! She told me that she's ready for something new, and like my friend Hannibal Lecter says, "It's always important to try new things". WERD!

So neither of us had ever been to a REAL, SUNG IN ITALIAN OPERA before and with the Metropolitan Opera House in our city, how could we resist :) You can't see it too well, but there is a cool fountain behind the two smokin' hotties in the foreground. We saw "Macbeth". I was disappointed that the female lead decided not to wear the obligatory viking horns for her performance. Out front where the limos drop people off...
The chandelier that Andi insists we simply MUST fit into our apartment :)
Sweet stairs...
Intermission in our AWESOME seats on the orchestra floor :)
Sweet subway sign near city hall...
The most bitchen'est looking bridge in the world!

My classy lady in the financial district :)
Oh, you know you can't take me anywhere in public!
Hey, this one was her idea...REALLY!

Kinchy vs. The Volcano

2007-09-23T19:35:00.000-04:00

Hey world, how are ya? It's been a while! How's the family??? Aw me, not much new...'cept I'm shootin' for MTV and spending some time in the Pacific NorthWest :) So, I had a day off and decided to see what all those signs telling me how to evacuate were really talking about. Seems that, THERE IS A VOLCANO out here, maybe you've heard of it, her name is Helen. AND in the year that I was born, she caused quite a stink out here and BLEW MASSIVE VOLCANO CHUNKS allllll over the NorthWest! Strap in and come with me on a Sunday drive as we venture up to see Helen and chuck a virgin over the edge.There she is hanging outside my window waiting to pick me up at SeaTacTo get to Helen's house, you have to pass through the town of Cougar, it's next to Milf on the map
Remember to eat well when you're climbing a mountain. Lemme see...Sugar-free RedBull...CHECK...2 truckstop corndogs...CHECK...good to go!Sooooo I dunno if it means that I have rocks in my head or that I just rock...hmmmmmm...either way it was nice of Helen to put up a sign for me.
Volcano Burgers??? Sounds like a night on the couch for me.
Helen honey, you need a new picture, you're looking...not your best.
THERE SHE IS! It was really stormy and cloudy the day that I visited and Helen had her head in the clouds.
Let the finger guide you...Helen's head is up that way.WOMAN! You come out here and be social!OHHHH WELLLL...it was a fun day trip. Maybe next time, visiting Helen won't be such a geographic snipe hunt. Here are some other kewl pics I took on the way back down. I kept singing Jane's Addiction's "COMIN' DOWN THE MOUNTAIN" the WHOLE DAY.

Sir, your Beckham is bent...

2007-08-30T08:40:00.000-04:00

You can't deny the arrival and impact of soccer in America ANYMORE! It's a few weeks old, but I was lucky enough to get a chance to attend the NY Red Bulls\LA Galaxy MLS match at the Meadowlands in NJ. AND...if you're gonna catch a match, you might as well do it right and spend your day with the rowdiest, fun lovin'est, Beckham hatin'est, brat cookin'est, beer drinkin'est supporters club there is; The Empire Supporters Club. I don't know of any other team, not even the Browns, that gets the kind of support the Red Bulls do. I mean, do Browns fans bring a whole percussion section to the game??? Forget abo'it! Dig on the pix...er I mean...Soooooooy del Metro!Aaron and Kinchy marching into the stadium.
Kinchy-"...hey Aaron, I don't get soccer...help a brother out..."
Aaron-"Just boooo when Beckham gets the ball..."Yep, they even have a gynormous flag.The guy in the blue on the right side in the corner is "THAT GUY" from across the pond. Love him or hate him, he put an extra 45 THOUSAND butts in the seats at the Meadowlands.In the end, the good guys won 5 to 4 and everyone had a good time. If you get a chance, try to take in a match in person. It'll give you a REAL appreciation for what soccer is really like. It was a lot more exciting than I ever thought it was gonna be :)

Bizay!

2007-08-08T17:02:00.000-04:00

I know ya'll neeeedz yer Kinchy fix...it's on the way...in a major way...hang in there. In the meantime, guess what kind of a show I just crewed for by looking at this picture :)

Peanuts??? CrackerJacks??? Whatever...BRING ON THE BRATS!!!

2007-07-09T11:33:00.001-04:00

Sooooooo...I finally got to go to a Tigers game at the new stadium. AWESOME!!! A special thanks to TINA for donating her right arm and a kidney to Guardian for the seats :)
DIG :)LtoR: Deano, Coop and StanStan and I showed a few Brats who was in charge for the day...maybe 6 :)Great view from our seats off the right field line.Now, try and ignore the 1st base coach in the way and check out the pitcher...Daisuke Matsuzaka. He's the famous pitcher who can throw the gyro ball. I like my gyros with ranch dressing :)

Sizzle Like Bacon...My Intro to Interpretive Dance

2007-06-23T11:11:00.000-04:00

Ann Arbor is known for it's eccentrics...hell, that's why we're allowed to live here :)Every summer Andi and I like to hit up all the festivals that we can in the area, and last night was our first trip to this year's "Top of the Park". "The TOP"...as those of us who invent things call it, showcases great local music, food and NOW...interpretively dancing acrobats!!! The group is called "STRANGE FRUIT" and man are they interpretive :) Dig the pix!interesting.....
So these guys and gals are balanced on a flexible pole about 13 feet off the ground. They perform a gymnastic\mime routine that chronicles love and loss.
Hey, if it makes the blonde happy I'd interpretively dance too :)

Summertime and the livin'z ez

2007-06-04T10:12:00.000-04:00

Dogs, leaping, pools, fair fries...does it get any better??? I think NOT!
Blondie and I took in the Heritage park "Pet-a-palooza" this weekend AND THEN the "Taste of Ann Arbor" food fest.
Enjoy the Pix :)

This is the COOLEST thing that you can train a dog to do. They throw a rubber toy into the air out over a pool and the dogs run and jump and back flip to retrieve the target. It's a distance competition and some of the dogs were jumping over 19 feet from the platform!!! High flyerzBig dog, even bigger splash
Running the agility courseAt the Taste of Ann Arbor you buy tickets and visit alllllll the restaurants on Main Street to sample the fare. I ate pretty much everything in sight :) The potato patties from Shalimar and the vegi samosas were ma' favs. The swordfish skewers from Palio' were pretty good too. Blondie, braving the spicy potato patties with chick pea sauceBlondie dodging the rain on the walk home :)

Swing Baby!

2007-05-13T09:23:00.000-04:00

With the arrival of the sun here in Michigan, comes the inevitable migration of the male to the golf course. It's uncertain why the Michigander (get it???) continues this fruitless pattern year after year, but it is certain that the beasts sure do have fun :)

Coop's getting married, so we golf :) Enjoy the pix!
Team: "Who invited these guys?"
L to R: Kinchy, Doogie, Waddles and Deano
My flat butt...
"Well Rounded" gents do everything large...even miss large cart paths on large hills ..oh yes, you're working with professionals here :)
Deano returning another ball to mother nature...
In the end, we finished 1 over with a 71...REALLY! I'm not kidding! It was a great day spent with some great friends :)

Dancing on the Ceiling

2007-05-02T23:34:00.000-04:00

So I've always liked working with electronics and stuff that flashes when you do stuff to it. Recently, the kid got drafted (IN THE FIRST ROUND I MIGHT ADD!!!) to crew and shoot a project for the "Can You Hear Me TV" guys. We've been shooting in theatres and today we started shooting in the studio, where I got to scope out THE LARGEST audio board I've ever seen. Enjoy the pix from the shoot :)THE 1st TIME, I've EVER gotten to hang equipment from the ceiling :) Two, Pani. DVX-100s shooting hands and piano keys from...drrrrrr...the ceiling...Dueling pie-annas from the control room...This is what you get when you cross breed a pokemon with a radio-shack...

Soylent Green is made from WHAT?!?!?!?

2007-04-22T16:30:00.000-04:00

Yeah, Jack can't believe that the warm weather has finally arrived in Michigan either :) Jack is our new foster buddy, drop us a line if you'd like to meet him.

Bowling for Hollerz

2007-04-17T11:19:00.000-04:00

I come for the competition; I stay for the bitchin' shoes! Enjoy the pix :)Blondie throws her famous "Inside-out Polish hook" :) Yeah, I can say that, I'm Polish too...Kinchy stalking his prey...Yeah, that's right, I got "A" strike :)Blondie cools off her hot hand before once again dominating the lane

An Ugly Mug

2007-04-02T14:28:00.000-04:00

Quite possibly "THE COOLEST MUG" I've ever seen :)

Shoot it full of holes baby!

2007-03-23T20:12:00.000-04:00

So, the kid, he's been busy this year. I thought I'd just throw up some photos of the action for everyone to enjoy. So, enjoy :)
(Photos courtesy of: Alicia Gbur agbur3@gmail.com)
Alicia is trying to break into the world of photo journalism, so if you need a combat, still photographer, drop her a line.

At the range, shooting (AHHHH PUNS!) an informational "Weapons Pod". You'll get a chance to catch the video this summer. Woody explains why it's a bad idea to be on the business end of the M-16.

Ahhh, reality TV. Notice the scripts in hand :) I've just shattered your trust in TV haven't I?

That's me on the far right (with the camera). This is what I do :) Notice the body armour...and no, it's not light.

Me (left) Condor (right) at the range. "Chris, where is my rifle???"

How many hours in 2-days???

2007-03-11T16:34:00.000-04:00

+=That's right...the kid is on to the next BIG video adventure. I still have some "SWAT" work to wrap up in Tha' D, but starting MONDAY, I'm field producing\shooting the A&E series, "The First 48". Take note of the arty-ness in my crime scene sketch.

Come Listen to the "Bad Girl" Sing

2007-02-24T11:44:00.000-05:00

So, I get to do some really cool things for my job. I get to ride in an APC, I get to follow the team in their war on crime and I get to see a lot of things that the rest of the civilian world never gets an opportunity to see. BUT... the absolute coolest thing that I've gotten to do on the job has got to be what I did yesterday.

Ladies and gentleman, this is the Colt, M-16 fully automatic assault rifle! 30 rounds in a matter of seconds. LISTEN TO THE BAD GIRL SING...WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Can anyone tell that I'm excited??? :) I got to fire 1 shot in single mode, 2 volleys in semi-auto 3-shot bursts and 23 in FULL AUTO. AND I GOT A BULLS-EYE! Just one...but hey, the target got dead, and isn't that the point :)

Now, I feel that in order to summarize the experience I must drop some kind of movie quote in here to help everyone grasp the magnitude of what this weapon does. So here goes..."
"YOU TELL EM' I'M COMIN'. AND I'M BRINGIN' HELL WITH ME!" Place that quote and win a prize :)

Enjoy the pix!

Keys??? We don't need no stinkin' keys! Especially when you have a tank!

Span-Opoly

2007-01-08T16:32:00.000-05:00

It's always a good idea to lean about different cultures and even attempt to learn the lingo when you can :) So, for "Holiday Gift Season" Mama Kath got Andrea Leigh "Span-Opoly". Now, here goes my first turn...
I'm not exactly sure what it says, but I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with Social Security or the City of Detroit.

Makin' Short Waves on the Detroit River

2007-01-02T19:52:00.000-05:00

You know me; love short movies, short fuse, hell I even rode the short bus to kindergarten (don't ask). So it was only a matter of time before I got into short wave radio.
I had heard about short wave, or SW as we in the land of nerd call it, on NPR a few years ago. Yes, NPR still exists. They did a story on the Conet Project and it totally flipped me out.
I was driving home at 1:30am in a huge snowstorm, when these crazzzzzyyyy sounds started coming over the radio, and then a stone cold voice reciting numbers, "7,7,7,6,6,9,9". THEN...CRAZY music composed of what had to be a Theremin humping a fax machine. Now, if you've ever driven M-50 through the heart of nowhere Michigan at night, you know how dark and "Deliverance-esque" it can be. I FREAKED! I thought I was gonna be dancin' with the devil quicker than spit!
Turns out, there are these freaky SW signals out there being broadcast from what are called "NUMBERS STATIONS". Check out some recordings. Sound a little "X-Filey" to ya'???
Well, I let my family know that I had an interest in SW and guess who got what for Holiday Gift Season??? Thanks Dad :)
OH! I almost forgot! I've got tin-foil cone hats for all of you, because...you know...if you don't wear it...that's how THEY get you.

Holiday Juice

2006-12-30T15:45:00.000-05:00

Now don't confuse it with "Jesus Juice", but you can thank God for the Oster 3165!
Andi Leigh got it for Christmas and now we all get to enjoy fresh juice that looks like concrete whenever we want :)

Enjoy the photo story :)
The setup...

Apples and Bananas go in...chop, chop, juice, juice...

Lookin' tasty...

Add some honey to cover up...errrr...enhance the flavor of the concrete...

annnnnddddd...pave the sidewalk...I mean enjoy :) It's really pretty good, but not aesthetically lovely

Some Big Schwag from the Bros. of "Biker Build-Off"

2006-12-19T12:55:00.000-05:00

When in Rome, I guess you gotta kick it Nero style. When in Detroit, you gotta pay homage to motorworks. While finishing up my holiday shopping I swung into the Detroit Bros. Chopper shop to snatch up some shirts. Turns out, these guys are REALLY nice guys! I got to look around the shop, pass out some business cards, schmooze AND to top it off, they gave me a free tshirt! The Detroit Bros., in case you were wondering, are two of the master fabricators behind the Discovery Channel's "Biker Build- Off" show.

Cheers to the Bros. and their staff for spreading that Detroit Holiday Spirit!

Who's seen "SNATCH"? Call a friend and tell them to be sure to catch your favorite combat journalist in action, Thursday at 10pm on A&E. DO NOT MISS THIS ONE! It'll be a BLAST :)

Catch a short teaser here.
There is a TON more in the episode that you do not want to miss!

The National Divide

2006-11-17T17:19:00.000-05:00

Call me crazy...CRAZY...but I could sit and watch boats on the Detroit River alllllll day :) The city across the river is Windsor, Ontario. Maybe for my next gig, I'll shoot life on the water :) Or maybe a cross between "30 Min Meals" meets "Deadliest Catch" meets "Top Chef". "One man, one river...18 species of toxic Detroit fish...and dinner guests are bringing PBR...what do you cook?"

Back in the Saddle Again

2006-11-09T17:04:00.000-05:00

Hey, Kinchy don't surf, but man, he sure can ride a TrailBlazer! As of Saturday, I'll be back in the SWAT-tastic saddle producing season 3 of "SWAT" for A&E. 'Cept this time I'll be working in Tha D' :) More rediculous photos to follow, stay tuned.

Sausage and Peppers

2006-11-09T16:53:00.000-05:00

errrr.....Simba and Midnight :) but, I like Sausage and Peppers better. If you'd like to meet our new friends, drop us a line. They'll be old enough for adoption right around Tou-Furkey time.

Do U DDR like we DDR???

2006-10-30T12:35:00.000-05:00

...Because if you do, there's a bunch of Asian High Schoolers laughing at you behind your back :)
Yes, I have become a slave to the flashing lights and J-pop melodies of the "Dance Dance Revolution".
What is DDR? DDR is a video game, kinda like if Twister had sex with Judo and their baby was an electronic spider monkey. Get it??? Good. You follow the aarows on screen and they tell you what aarows on the floor to step on AND this is all sync'd to music. If you miss a step, you bring a lifetime of shame upon your family. Needless to say, my family has been shamed. Check out my non-skills below, as my dance partner Rob and I make'a like da' fools. Cheers!

Kinchy and Andi kick it at Pinball Pete's

My time on season 2 of SWAT is officially WRAPPED! It's been a blast, literally. Watch the show and you'll know what I'm talking about. From Detroit to KC to Dallas, all in 4-months! Check out some pics of the KC boys on the official SWAT site and check for air dates and times at the link below.

SWAT on A&E

Now, it's off to my next video adventure, and remember, "If you want it shot; I'm your assassin." Cheers!

Just in case...

2006-09-05T20:48:00.000-04:00

Just in case you were unsure of the complete awesomeness of Texas, she asked me to show you her banner of splendor. I'm almost done with Season 2 of SWAT for A&E, but I'm in Dallas for the rest of the week :) I'll be sure to get my picture taken in at least 1 cowboy hat.

Is this your 58lbs. of weed or mine?

2006-08-27T20:03:00.000-04:00

I've said it once and I'll say it again; don't sell drugs in KC!
If you've ever wondered what 58lbs. of drugs looks like, today sure is your day!
Enjoy!

That's a lot of Ziploc bags!

Scott, you're looking o'too comfortable around that much dope :)

The Menacing McHales of 170 Squad

2006-08-23T22:55:00.000-04:00

With time here in KC winding down, it's becoming more apparent that we need to take some RESPECTABLE pictures :) Not everything can be Kinchy and the Wienermobile :)
This is the TRT 170 Squad with yours truly and Scott. They're a great bunch of guys who help make our jobs easier.
Cheers to the boys of 170!

Who's wiener is this anyway???

2006-08-21T09:12:00.000-04:00

Only in America...or maybe Japan can you catch a V8 shaped like a wiener :)
Dad and I spotted "THE Wienermobile" in KC, MO and HAD to take pictures. Enjoy!
OH, and "SWAT" is going great too!

2006-07-26T18:30:00.000-04:00

Hey, in case you didn't know, I'm in KC, MO shooting "SWAT" for A&E. Basically, I roll with the SWAT team on barricaded gunman calls, hostage situations and drug busts. Today I got to shoot a M-16 and a Bennelli shotgun :) Look out Dawg the Bounty Hunter!

More good stuff to come! Cheers!

B-Day, or Me-Day??? I think we know the answer to that question.

My life in rap video. Detroit, wha'?!

2006-06-13T15:42:00.000-04:00

Just like every 6 year old girl with an "Easy Bake Oven"; I'm all about learning how to cook up new hy-jinx.
This past weekend I was lucky enough to work on the Symbolic Entertainment production of Obie Trice's new video, "Cry Now" for Shady Records.

Now, I'm no M&Ms or 50 cents, but I do know that rap and Detroit are like

Jeff Gordon and NASCAR; they just go together.
Check out some photos from my first rap video as 2nd AC and Stedicam Assist.

This is me with the Stedi-Sled and Panisonic Varicam.

This is what a Stedicam is: A camera support system attached
