The past week and a half

From break dancing to organic dairy farms to paintball… the lack of posts hasn’t been due to laziness by any means.  

Quick Little Trip.

Just got home from a quick trip down to Orlando to get some shots of JD for one of the magazines.  While there I had the opportunity to shoot with Scott Stewart, Brad Smeele, and Kyle Alberts as well.  It was probably one of the more productive trips I have been on.  We got a lot done and everyone put in a ton of hard work.  Keep an eye out for something awesome in the next couple of months. 

Lost at sea.

Just got home this past week from a vacation.  Even though it should considered a time of relaxation, I cannot go far without my camera.  

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water… VISUAL MOMENTS ARE BACK! 

Last night was the screening for the Z-Fest Film Festival.  Our film was able to take several awards including 2nd place, Best Music, Best Actress and Audience favorite.  I’m pretty excited to share it with all of you.  Enjoy! 

Mexico

A couple weeks back I got a phone call on a Friday asking if I could be in California on Monday and in Mexico on Wednesday.  They wanted me to shoot the Baja 250 for good friends Film Matters.  I had to jump on the opportunity to join the crew, knowing that it would be an adventure.  And adventure it was, in one week I saw someone get a passport in under 4 hours, a car roll over on a beach, some of the craziest car rides of my life, and a lot of good times.  Though the schedule could be described as “chaotic” I would definitely do it again in a heartbeat.

Duluth

Last week we finally got snow in Minnesota which obviously brought several video crews into town.  Felt good to get out and shoot in the snow. 

A good morning.

While many successful projects/shoots are rewarded with “victory beers” at the nearest bar, some of the best ones end with breakfast.  This morning was definitely no exception to that rule.  Good times guys, good times. 

It’s been a while since I have been this excited to share a piece I have worked on.  Several months back director Josh Thacker approached me about DP’ing a piece for a poet he had recently seen perform.  After hearing the poem for the first time I knew it was one of those projects that just HAD to get done.  I can honestly say that I am way more excited about the content of this piece rather than the film itself.   

Thanks Michael for letting me work on this, I am really glad I got to be a part of this amazing piece of art.
