BEST OF 2009
As we wrap up the first week of the new year I can’t help but reflect on the past year. There were struggles as there are with anything, but I’d be remised if I didn’t sit back and be thankful for the good things. I met a lot of great people, made a few [...]
DESTINATION: QATAR
I’ve been pretty busy lately and have much to catch up on the blog world. I still need to update my blog with my stuff from Africa, Brazil and my story completed at the Eddie Adams Workshop last month, but this post is devoted to a rather interesting trip I took last week to Qatar [...]
WARPED TOUR 2009
Yes, this is one of these posts. The ones where I preface my blog entry by apologizing for my absence and saying that it won’t happen again, but it’s bound to. At least I have a good excuse. For the past month now Ive been in Brasil with a 10-day visit to Africa. There are [...]
NEWS-ISH
I have a few updates and news(ish) items to talk about. First off my recent article, “Riding A Wave” was published this earlier this week in the SportsShooter.com newsletter. The article which talks about my recent experience producing the documentary, The Messenger: 360 Days of Bolivar, was featured on the front page for a day [...]
BOOMTOWN
Today was a rather eventful day. I woke up early and knocked out a quick assignment for the Chronicle in Memorial Park then rushed back home to change and meet the Welling Films crew at Shawn’s. Our documentary, “The Messenger: 360 Days of Bolivar” was chosen as an official selection in the 2009 Boomtown Film [...]
SXSW
Well, this year I actually applied for media credentials in time for SXSW which meant it was justified to spend more than a day or two in Austin during the annual South by Southwest festival. SXSW has a film and interactive aspect that I really wanted to make it out to especially since I am [...]
STOP:LOVE
Ahhh Valentine’s Day. I usually don’t look forward to this day even though I should since I am in a wonderful relationship and not sad and alone, however it just means I have to find something to get my lovely lady, usually at the last minute. In the end, they usually turn out OK, but [...]
THE GOOD LOSER
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of spending some time with 82-year-old Mickey Stubblefield at his home in his hometown of Mayfield, Kentucky. Mickey is a former Navy veteran, Shriner Mason, Kentucky Colonel, and was also the first African-American baseball player ever to play in the Kitty Leagues. He receives an average [...]
A 12 HOUR PLANE RIDE & A FRESH OUTLOOK
…or maybe it’s just jet lag. I haven’t blogged in more than a few days, mainly due to the fact that I haven’t really been shooting much save the lot of cheesy family snapshots with my new Canon G9. I had been meaning to buy a smaller Canon compact camera for some time and the [...]
