Tim Barrus: Multiple Cameras
![]()
Did someone make it a rule that we can only use one camera on a shoot. Bullshit. I now have a lot of cameras. Sometimes just the GoPro because it fits so nicely in my pocket. You don’t want to look like traditional media. Lately, a GoPro and a Nikon…

Tim Barrus: Wikipedia is not Journalism

Something went wrong.

It has never been a life. Not one second of life. Only punishment and he wanted to kill me. Spills of spores in towns of whores, and the clover came in that year. The babies of the clover. Aristocratic farmers’ heads of high school hair it came down to the…
