Working with my buddy @jeffunderwood1979 to make some content for his book release. We had a great day shooting, made some gorgeous imagery, and did it all in record time I'd say. .

Here is a still frame from a timelapse I made at the Santa Monica Pier. This ended up being a fun one. .

Shot some timelapses at a different pier today. It was cold and windy as hell, but I think we walked away with some good stuff. .

Went down to the pier to shoot last night and got some stuff, I like this one.

On set of our last commercial, this one was very exciting personally because it allowed me to shoot something I've been wanting to do for awhile now. Excited to share it.

Over the past few jobs I've truly realized the value of a great 1st AC. Here is my 1st AC, Zack Laning and I setting up a shot on our last job together. Also, pretty sure that's @greg.unger
our key grip in the background. He also crushed it. .

I'm pretty sure we won Halloween this year. #mariokart

I finally made some time to work on personal projects and so this past weekend I DP'd a spec commercial with an amazing team that overcome more technical issues than I care to remember. Here is one of my favorite frames so far.

We only shoot the finest of garbage alley scenes. Also, I wear an orange hat just in case I get lost in a crowd I'll be easier to find. pic by my dude @elconnero
