Got back to the First Niagara Center today for a commercial shoot for Gildan Activewear with country music god, Blake Shelton. They jammed and we rolled.

(minus the spectator footage)

I just spent 2 shoot days operating camera for the esteemed commercials director, Todd Bellanca and cinematographer Eric Frick on location for Hospice Buffalo. DPost will be carving up our footage very soon and I expect crying eyeballs en mass very soon after. Feels good to be part of an awesome team of visionary forces.

That’s a wrap on baseball January for New Era Cap. Phew, we made it. 600 lbs. of gear, 8 cameras, 6 shoot days, 6 travel days, and not enough sleep. I think the all you can eat sushi joint in Las Vegas, the DUI scooter shop in Clearwater, and meeting Nina Agdal in NYC were the highlights. Now, on to the next one.

Typical Clearwater, Florida resident.

It rained, and then it rained some more. We worked around it.

Improvising. It’s what we do.

I couldn’t stop laughing.

Behold. The Kitty Cat Crew (AKA Psychedelic Purrs.)

Just recently returned from The Center of the Universe for a one day shoot at Milk Studios with universal cutie-pie/Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Nina Agdal. It was as fun watching seasoned photographer Kyle Christy react to Nina’s amazing versatility as a model as it was seeing Nina be awesome on camera (she’s SO spunky.)

Just got back from a week and a half on the road working at Cashman Field in Las Vegas and back to Tradition Field in Port Saint Lucie in Florida. We rolled two Reds, two 5D, two HV10, a GoPro, and an Osmo, woah. Exhausting and fun!

Look close (@)-(@) it’s a double Epic! WOAH!

That double Epic!

You can never have enough cameras rolling. Something might happen 🙂

Yeah, we wore matching outfits on our first shoot day at Tradition Field. Why not?  🙂

Spent the day/evening at the local arena as a 4th camera operator shooting interviews and Robin Thicke performance at the Kissmas Bash 2015 for Vice Media. One thing I always look forward to in this business is – always something different. Happy Birthday to me!

Made a quick trip to Manhattan a little while back with Peter Cumbo to shoot an interview at Roc Nation and grab some quality footage at the 42nd Street Lids store during their 20th Anniversary event with DJ Clark Kent “God’s favorite DJ.” Happy Birfday, Lids!

Spent a day not too long ago with Frank Conjerti from Quinlan making this fun little business intro video for Chiampou Travis Besaw & Kershner. Their building is literally IN a forest:
