When keyboardist Chuck Leavell was in L.A. recently rehearsing with the Rolling Stones for the 50th anniversary tour, we got the chance to sit down with the Southern gentleman to talk tech, touring, farming and of course the Stones.

I recently met up with Maria Seidman, who runs the New York City based tech startup Yapp from the basement of her upper west side apartment.
She wrote me this morning and asked to see some of the photos–nearly 3 months after the shoot, and I feared they were lost. But thankfully, I discovered them hidden on a 32 GB SD card at the bottom of a pile, so it’s great to bring Maria and her pixels back to life!
We had a great turnout for last weekend’s Video seminar @Julia Dean Photo workshops in Hollywood.
We talked about DSLRs for about 30 minutes, and then got right to work. We showed how to shoot an interview, and then got more ambitious at lunch–we all brought cameras to a local Chipotle to make a little story about our lunch. After a quick edit and with only an hour left for the day, we shot a quick video about JDPW, and edited it on the spot.
Thanks to a great bunch of students for coming out. Take a look at two of the videos from the day.
On a recent tour stop in Los Angeles, jazz great Bobby McFerrin spent some time with me at the glitzy J.W. Marriott in downtown L.A. recently to talk music, improvisation and tech. While tech isn’t necessarily one of his favorite subjects, he did warm to the idea that his 1988 hit, “Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” has taken on a new life online, with dozens of parodies and covers.
If you’ve never had the opportunity to see McFerrin live, get out there and check him out. There’s nobody out there like him. His vocal gymnastics are just amazing. McFerrin is all over Europe in June
