Sunscreen + Bugspray

Two things you cannot live without in Florida when working outdoors are sunscreen and bugspray. Every work bag has some in it, and we wear floppy hats and long sleeves and wrap cool towels around our necks to fend off heat exhaustion. I've been on a very physical and hot shoot the past 2 days which has tested me but also made me appreciate the days I get to work aerial jobs in a small hanger. I also shot a piece for a friend of a friend who does pottery and will be editing it next week on my way to Nevada. There is something mesmerizing about the way clay spins on the wheel and i'm really excited to start reviewing my footage. I'll be bringing some film cameras to the desert because it's been more than a week since I shot any and they are calling to me!

Boston, Augusta and lots of layovers

The company which employs me for my aerial technician jobs, Active Camera Systems, recently received a new camera setup. It's made by a small company called Gyro Stabilized Systems, or GSS. It's more configurable than our other system, the Cineflex, but also much larger and takes longer to set up. I recently went to Boston to help out on it's first job and learn the ropes, which was great fun for a nerd such as myself. After that was over, I went to Augusta, Georgia to work on a commercial for a medical company at their HQ. Now i'm home in Miami and will be here without leaving all week for the first time in over a month. Luckily I have some cool jobs lined up and then next week I head to Nevada for a really fun shoot. The summer of 2014 continues to amaze!

Medium Format Madrid, Pt. 2

More Yashica Madrid photos! My trip to California turned into a trip to Boston last minute (thats production for you) so no updates from San Fran, but we had incredible shooting weather and it was a great trip. Summer in New England is magical, I wish I could stay and go hiking and camping but i'll be off to Georgia for another job next week.
