KILO a short film

KILO

my first short film. shot on location at the FOX studios in Sydney, Australia.

thanks AFTRS for all your guidance, and to the crew.

We shot this in 3 hours.

Written, directed and edited by little me.

Enjoy.

With love from Australia!

I am in Australia.

While I was doing a shoot in Bangkok.  Christine Jeffs  filmed the TV ads, who directed Sunshine Cleaning...which I loved...

I was looking for a short but intense directing/scriptwriting class.  she recommended AFTRS Australian Film Television and Radio School.

I wrote, directed and edited my first short film down under.

Check my next post for the final cut. enjoy.

waiting for the rain.

on a shoot for TREX decking in st. john, virgin islands.  we are waiting out the tail end of the hurricane. the view is epic when the clouds part for a moment.  TREX decking looks fantastic and our boy talent, Qui Qui is psyched for our shoot. stay tuned for updates!

Coming home.

I have been on the move for quite a while now. Mostly Mexico, LA and NYC as most of you know. About to head off again to the chilly east coast for New Hampshire, Vermont then Idaho with the good folks from Apple, all boding well.

I have been thinking back over the years and the pictures and excited for 2010. To make images that capture what it is like to be on the road. The wind in your hair, the wind on your back. The sun as it streams across you in the morning, the deep inky black darkness of a foreign hotel room. The sun burning your nose as you drive into the mountains with the sunroof open. The crunch of snow beneath your feet. The exhaustion from non stop flights. The hunt for slow food in the middle of nowhere.

Check back soon for updates. In the meantime, what it felt like to be in Mexico last week, have not downloaded the cards yet but here is a taste.

Thanks, sweet Shaggy for the fantasy road trip.

Grand Cayman Engage 09

Rum Point

Vivene's Kitchen, yum, mango juice.

afternoon shower, cooled everything down

Alison Hotchkiss from Alison Events and I went to speak at Engage 09 in the Grand Cayman this week. It was a fun filled, inspirational, informational gathering of the top people in the wedding industry. I was so honored to speak on the Destinations panel. Sharing information with my fellow photographers on the ins and outs of Destination wedding photography and ways to get yourself into the editorial world. I had the chance to spend some non work time with two of my favorite people, Darcy Miller & Anthony Luscia from Martha Stewart Weddings.

After the event Alison and I rented a car and eased our way towards Boddingtown to spend a few nights on a quiet beach in a small local town. Steps from the beach and some great down time reading and tipping back some Red Stripes.

Vivene's Kitchen was a true hidden gem. A family owned little place overlooking the ocean. Fabulous sweet and sour chicken and plantains. Fresh mango juice to die for! We made our way to Rum Point and met our friends Abby & Tate Larson from Style Me Pretty. If you have never seen Abby's site, head right over for the best blog on wedding style ever!

heat lightning storms, plantains, mango juice, swimming with stingrays, rum runners, deep rolling thunder, bright colored picnic tables, snorkeling, starfish, good times with my good friends.
