The Pier.

Instead of buying any new cameras now, I'm going to focus on photography and timelapse. I'll still be solidifying ideas and scripts for the short films (anyone care to help?), but it'll be awhile before they are actually produced. (i'm waiting for the next gen canon photography/camcorder hybrid).
Anyways I recently did a shoot at the Jacksonville beach pier with my great friend/photography muse it seems haha. Here are some of the shots.

Just Listen.

Every time I watch a season of Skins, There are a couple of songs I can't help but play again and again. Do your ears a favor and listen to these two. They're kind of polar opposites.

First one is a hard electro remix and the second is soft and wistful, with measured percussion

1) Xtatic Truth by Crystal Fighters (Last Japan Remix)

2) Sweet Disposition by the temper trap

P.S. For anyone who is mildly interested/ for the purpose of cementing my ideas somewhere, i'll be posting up info and timelines for the first of a series of short films i'll be making. Until then, enjoy the music :)

Washed out

Wow, I haven't been on here in a while. Its because i've been busy with school, and have been preparing for an internship at Columbia University this Summer :] (for dentistry) But i'm glad to be back!

Right now i'm mostly using my film camera instead of my digital, and will be taking it with me to New York. I recently finished out a roll of film from my 80's era Canon AE-1 that has been in that camera for like a year. 

Developing a roll of film where you don't remember a thing about the first few pictures you took feels like

Christmas morning did when I was six and still believed in Santa Claus. I realized he was fake when I was 7.

Really, theres something magical about taking a film camera around with you and later developing photos/moments you forgot you even captured. Sometimes I forget this is a blog and not a journal i'm writing to myself. But thats not a bad thing really. I wonder if it happens to anyone else.

here are some of the photos from the roll, both recent and not so recent:










This last picture is probably my favorite out of the whole roll of film. I just had to capture this odd little staring contest between species.

P.S. I've promised myself to write more, so soon you'll hear about my plans to produce/direct a series of short films, and eventually a call for auditions. The films will be interconnected, but not too overtly. Some will be dark in tone/mise en scene some will not.
