I was a little flattered until I realized tons of people got the email too, but nonetheless they had a Airstream Video Studio, I couldn’t turn it down. I couldn’t think of any thing more powerful in my life than the birth of my daughter and how much it changed my perspective on life. So they titled it “As soon as she cried.” Hope you enjoy! Please make sure to vote for me so that I might be a part of the national commercial.

We had a couple needs: coffee and camera stuff. We started the day at a great little shop, Catalina Coffee, and ended up at a great local coffee roaster, Java Pura. It was a real pleasure to meet and talk with Ken, master roaster, and really geek out over coffee. Hope you enjoy the images from the trip. Let me know what you think.

This is a short test of what my new Nikon d90. I wanted to run through a quick workflow from start to finish to see how it would go. It took me about an hour or so and that includes convert and render. Couple specs below.

the Gear

  • Nikon d90
  • Nikkor 35mm f2
  • Final Cut Pro

the Workflow

  1. Convert d90 avi to mov – Final Cut Compressor (how to)
  2. Edit video in Final Cut Pro (same how to as above)
  3. Convert video to Vimeo HD – Final Cut Compressor (how to)

It was a really great year and I had alot of fun shooting all week along side of the amazingly talented Jamie Orillion. RISE is a week long Catholic youth mission retreat in Abbeville, LA. The teens give up a week of their summer to help out those less fortunate.

Well I usually get comments of praise or intrest for my goatee, but according to this scale (pointed out to me by Benjamin Spell), I am questionable. It is actually borderline un-savory! Well I don’t think I am unsavory! But then again I find most hipsters unsavory and many people still like them and their skinny jeans. Can’t get rid of the goatee now…it is part of my branding!

I was a bit out of practice and forgot how much work it had been in previous years. The retreat holds a warm place in my heart every year and it is always a moment of spiritual re-charging for me. Of course it is a physically draining weekend, God’s grace keeps me through the late nights. Enjoy!

I think that this is to combat the “search overload” that Bing has been trying to sell. If you ask me Google always gives me the best answer. Bing and I don’t get along!

If something doesn’t have a USB port, an Apple Logo, and a screen on it, I don’t usually pay attention. But the New Orleans Saints have swept through my fare state of Louisiana like the breath of the Almighty. I think that what has happened is much bigger than a team of amazing athletes having an widly successful season. What we are seeing is a city, nah state, finding hope again.

This video gave me some perspective about how deep this is for people of Louisiana and New Orleans. I was shocked a few nights ago when the Saints won the NFC championship cinching their place in the Superbowl, that countless numbers of people were brought to tears over the victory. In my city of Lafayette, 3 hours west of New Orleans, there were fireworks going off across the night sky! After speaking with a few residents of New Orleans I now know why this was so important. It said to the world that New Orleans is alive once again! That there is no longer a spirit of “rebuilding” in our hearts, but of resolve that the foundation has been rebuilt and the hope of New Orleans is touching the heavens like skyscrapers of new growth.
