The sweetest thing you'll see today: fashionable pooch Stella goes on an exciting road trip in California.

A fearless lass, wee Stella.

Beautifully filmed on a Canon 5D MKII, a digital SLR that supports video recording in HD and is fast becoming as popular as the RED camera -- and not just for those on a budget. Last season's finale of 'House' was filmed on a 5D because its small size made it possible to get into really claustrophobia-inducing spaces, for instance.

I want one, obviously. Like creepy, creepy Gollum.

Anyway, the real star is Stella and her adorable adventure. The backstory of the short film's creation, plus some behind-the-scenes shots, can be found on Jesse Rosten's site below!

A largely healthy lunch. Kinda.

It's a beautiful day!

A bit of fancy photography on the way home from work. Gorgeous, irresistible light today.

I'm enjoying this stuff way too much. But really, I've got a digital camera in my pocket all day long that's better than was technologically possible even ten years ago, and now spring is setting in everything is SO pretty -- so wouldn't it be more of a waste not to snap some shots wherever and wherever?
