Analog(ging) Lists
Now, I don’t know about you guys, but all those iPhone productivity apps and desktop organizers and essentially every digital tool that exists to make and manage to do lists are completely lost on me. They are nice and sleek and sound like such a great idea, but it seems that I inevitably end up needing an analog to do list to keep up with my digital to do list. So, why add the extra step?...
PAPER ROUTE REDUX
I realized that I ended up skipping right on over my PaperRoute blog post that I wrote a few months ago. I think they are coming back in town soon, so, in honor of an upcoming Paper Route show, my original blog post:

Now, I started out shooting film. My first band shoot was on a Canon AE-1. I shot...
I am getting really excited about the fall… I have several video projects that are coming together and if everything continues in current fashion, will have shot at least one project on a RED camera by the end of the year… Folks, I am serious. I love shooting moving images…
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to post much of my paid video work until it is released by clients,...
