Reggie Bush and Rickie Fowler in Augusta. Another great Red Bull shoot, and the edit turned out great! Click on the link below to check it out.

Two pros give each other “driving lessons”, one in a race car, the other on the golf course.

Driving Lessons

Spent the week in NYC working with Dedapper Media (www.dedappermedia.com) on a couple of videos for the new Aloft Hotel in Harlem. Shot the whole project with a 7D and randomly placed GoPros. Just around the corner from the Apollo in Harlem,  Aloft is a very cool location that you should check out if you’re ever in the area. If I get permission to post the videos, I’ll do it.

Wrapped up a project with Travis Pastrana and gang this week. It was easily the most challenging and most rewarding shoot I’ve done in a while. I’m really stoked on the way it all came together. Travis and his friends are all super laid back and easy to work with, which makes stalking them with a camera so much easier. Check it out…

Tampa, Boston, NYC, back to Tampa. Home for 2 days, then on a bus from Maryland to Chicago. You’ll find out why soon…

At least I got to meet a hero of mine on the last shoot. He took a moment out of his schedule for a photo, and to help me find this street I was looking for…

Got word the other day that a project I shot a few years back is an official selection at the Saint Andrews Film Festival in New Brunswick. The short is called Chuck. See the trailer below, and check out the festival here.

After a week of long edit days, I’ve finally finished the latest job. It’s a half hour special about Thierry Henry, the French International soccer star and his move to the New York Red Bulls. It’s slated to air next Saturday night (August 14) before the NY Red Bulls face the LA Galaxy on Fox Soccer Channel.

Exciting stuff. Recently I worked on an episode of Firsthand for Fuel TV. The show chooses an athlete and follows them around to give the audience a “firsthand” look into the athlete’s day to day life. We worked with a really amazing young woman named Ashley Fiolek. She is a two-time Woman’s Motocross Champion and an X-games gold medalist. She is also profoundly deaf, and has been since birth.

Her story is really amazing, and I was thrilled to have a small part in telling it. Check out the show, this Sunday, July 25th at 8pm on Fuel.

Hi everyone….

I hope this blog will give you all a little insight into my work. I’ll use it to post updates, demos and the occasional random thought.

To that end, this quote is a good starting point. I found it in a terrific book called – MTIV: Process, Inspiration and Practice for the New Media Designer.

I certainly don’t claim anything in common with Pablo Picasso, but this bit seems to sum up my creative process pretty well.

Also, and perhaps more importantly I’ve just been asked to edit a new project. More details to follow when I can talk about them…
