Talk to the hand


Yesterday marked 11 months with Anson. I'll spare you all the "time flies", "they grow up so fast" mash-ups, and just say it's been a blur. Plans are underway for the big one-year party, which aside from his very own miniature chocolate cake, is really an excuse to throw a big party for us. Poolside grilling and smoking, loud music, kegs and friends and family. I'm trying to give him something to be proud of, you know? (whatever i have to tell myself).

My Southern Soul BBQ tribute video was more of a success than I ever imagined. With over 3,100 views I now wish I had done a little better job on it. I had the idea driving back to the office after shooting there the Sunday morning after the fire. I worked on the video while working on other stuff throughout the day. Thank you to all the folks that have commented on it. I really appreciate it and glad that I could help in bringing the community together to support one of our favorite local establishments. The guys are already underway with rebuild plans (in the same place!).... be sure to check here for update photos!

I've been getting more and more into video. The capabilities of HD video from my Canon 5d M2 are AMAZING. Coupled with various accessories like stabilizers, fluid video heads and fast lenses, I'm getting some beautiful stuff. I've really only been dabbling in B-roll type stuff, but been having a blast. I plan on continuing down this creative outlet for a bit, seeing where it leads me. I'm editing some of my latest footage and will post it here when done.

My latest installment of my time lapse video project video is up. Check it out!




And lastly, pertaining to Jekyll Island, we have launched their new web site finally... it's been a massive project, my biggest site to date by far, and we are very proud of it... Almost all the footage I shot, the entire back end of the site is a 100% complete content management system that is incredible. So, I welcome your comments! See it here: www.jekyllisland.com

That's all folks, have a great weekend.
