The Bullitt Center aims to be the greenest office building in Seattle. I can’t wait to see what it looks like when finished.

Video | La Push Pummel Sea Kayak and SUP Gathering 2011
La Push Pummel Sea Kayak and SUP Gathering 2011:
A combination of stills and video from my weekend shooting at La Push.
La Push Pummel Sea Kayak Gathering 2011
I just returned from the La Push Pummel winter kayak and stand up paddle boarder gathering on the Washington coast. It was fantastic.
I used a Contax 645, Pentax 67 and a Canon 5D Mark II with a 600mm f4 lens.
I have so many images to share I don’t know where to begin. Here are several teaser images with more to come:
My presentation at FUTUROOM
Lo-Fi, Hi-Style in Prague: Kirk Mastin Speaks at FUTUROOM.CZ from Lo-Fi, Hi-Style on Vimeo.
Straight out of the program:
Modern multimedia technologies
Multimedia does not have to stand for “expensive” or “complicated”. introduction of some state-of-the-art technologies and multimedia equipment that can increase the productivity of your team and improve your print or internet product. Easy, cheap, fast. Presentation of cost-efficient top-quality equipment that media can provide to their reporters for multimedia-related tasks. Presentation of technologies that companies can use in order to boost their communication with customers.
Speaker: Kirk Mastin (USA)
The sound is a bit out of synch and I would recommend skipping past the example video I play in my speech as I have a better copy of it on my website under “Canon XH-A1 vs. Flip Video.“

Prague, Futuroom, and the new hyper-local news hybrid.
I’ve thought for quite some time that print journalism had no future.
Futuroom Office
In the beginning, I thought that all a newspaper had to do to save itself was to embrace multimedia and video. However, after being a proponent of this approach for over three years, I began to see that this was also not working. Newspapers were still dying and it seemed there wasn’t a heck of a lot anyone could do about it.
Newspapers were becoming obsolete because of the medium on which they are printed:
- Newspapers take a lot of capital to create. Think: printing presses, ink, trucks, man-power.
- Newspapers do not allow for comments, hyperlinks, video, or real-time updates. It’s a one-way conversation.
- Newspapers are out of date the minute they are delivered.
By all measures, the newspaper is inferior to the instant delivery of news over the Internet and mobile phones because the news is trapped in the inferior medium of PAPER.
