Do you shoot weddings?

I was pulled into a freaking wedding this weekend.  I was hired to shoot video and all I have to say is that will be my last wedding.  The only reason I said yes was because Johnny is a good friend of mine and his sister was the one who was getting married.

WEDDING Videography and photography is LAME.  Sorry if you do it, I have respect but I couldn't deal with the typical Bridezilla week after week would bum me out.  I even had some British wedding photographer tell me I was in her way on a few shots.  How about she was in my way on EVERYTHING.  Go eat your fish and chips and shut it!!

Anyway, here are some images I shot after I was done pressing the red button.

Sometimes long exposures are better.

Since I've got my 5d mk3 a few months ago I've wanted to take some long exposures at DCA of airplanes landing.  I also wanted to go to the King Street metro stop and take some long exposures of the trains and cars.  I was happy with the way both came out.  Lots of freaking bandwagon Yankee fans were coming back from the NATZ vs. Yankees game so it was pretty crowded.  God damn Yankee fans.

Official Announcement for my next project

As you can guess from the photos below, it's a surf film.  We do have a full list of about 15 riders, all rippers from the East Coast and I'll releasing their names in a few weeks.  We will be touching spots like Hatteras, NJ, NY and others over the course of 4 months.  We'll be tracking the swells from storms and hurricanes this summer.  The anticipated start date will be Mid July and completing filming in October.  Editing will be a few months and we plan on having the Premier in early 2013.  I'm hoping we get enough funding to film with the RED Scarlet camera and some other mcNASTY gear.

I'll be the lead principal cinematographer, Director and Editor.  Dean Freeland will be a principal cinematographer, assistant editor and executive producer.  Kevin Barnholt will be an assistant cinematographer, surf acknowledgement professional  and executive producer.  I'm super pumped for this crew and hope everyone rides safe.

Shreading

It's been a while since I've gone out on some skate sessions.  O'Dell and I went to Richmond and met up with a pretty large crew.  1 Blonde Brodie, 2 car pulls and a scooter wall ride later, I'm back at my normal job.  

Car Pull to ollie.  Can you guess what else he did over it?  The BLONDE BRODIE was in the way!!
