The Whole World in His Hands

March 23, 2010 / Editorial, Film

The media team at Port City Community Church (PC3) wanted to create a video that would complement a new series about worry and its detrimental effects on our lives. The weather forecast was for sun, but high winds made for a bit of a challenge working with the 4-foot inflatable. We definitely got some interesting looks (and smiles) while filming on location. See if you can relate to this guy as he runs around town with the whole world in his hands, literally.

Albert F. Rhodes

Legendary local jeweler Albert F. Rhodes decided it was time to update the store’s website. Wilmington-based WordwrightWeb, hired me to create some images to enhance their new layouts. I enjoyed working with still life again. It was a nice contrast to the recent video productions. Playing with these beautiful pieces made the day go by really fast. And despite my wife’s pleas, no trade outs this time.

Maybe Too Comfortable

March 8, 2010 / Editorial, Film

Definitive Pictures’ director Joey Connolley hired me to help him shoot a clever little spot for a local mattress shop. We used one of the newest Canon HDSLR cameras due to it’s sensitivity in low light. The best ads always start with a great idea. The client has already ordered two more.

Sunday Morning….

February 15, 2010 / Editorial

… means a lot of different things to people. Sleeping in, having brunch, or going for a walk on the beach are among a few. For me, Sunday mornings usually include either attending or volunteering for Port City Community Church. It definitely ain’t your grandma’s church. Last week I was asked to capture a few pics of their new stage set-up. Here are a few of my favorites.

Find the New You

February 14, 2010 / Editorial

We’re 45 days into 2010. Today, as many folks are enjoying that last piece of Valentine’s Day chocolate, I’m finally committing to My One Word for the year. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, click on the banner above. Instead of reeling off New Year’s resolutions (which are probably a distant memory by now for most people), our pastor came up with this idea to focus on just one word for a whole year. Pretty cool, huh? Simply pick a word that will push you to become the kind of person you really want to be. Go to MyOneWord.org and give it a shot. For the record, my word is “CLOSER” (as in opposite of farther) because by the end of 2010, I want to be closer to the man God knows I have the potential to be.

We’re Rolling!

I’m thrilled to be sharing a new website and a new Vimeo channel with you all. I’d like to thank a few folks for helping me get to this point. Evan, Joey, Jesse, Paschal and Joseph — your guidance and support is much appreciated. I’ve always said that the reason I loved photography was because it’s a beautiful blend of art and science. Well, now that combo has a really fast engine and flames painted on the side. Fasten your seat belts!

NEW Director of Photography Reel

January 27, 2010 / Editorial, Film, News

Today I shared my new reel as Director of Photography with a few Twitter and Facebook friends. If you didn’t get the link, you can see it below. This collection of clips is from short films and commercials that I’ve been working on recently. Coming soon is a new website called Motion AND a Vimeo channel that will feature most of these videos in their entirety. The need for this content is growing rapidly. And we’re ready to create it. Let’s roll!
