Spent a little time with my Blackmagic Pocket 4K Camera and a Canon 100mm Macro lens capturing insects nearby. Nothing special. Just messing around. However, this was all done handheld with a camera that has no internal stabilizer. Sometimes I have to just get out […]

This was the documentary that made me think, I could really do “this.” Armed with my DVX-100, the first 24p prosumer DV camera, I spent several months documenting the world of the burgeoning artist, Christon “Christylez” Bacon. It was the start of collaborative relationship that […]

Back in the U Street rebirth era, Komplex was the Brooklyn born Baltimore raised and DC frequented spoken word artist that always had a buzz around him. He had a mastery of language like few others and a stage presence like a true emcee from […]

I was in full “record everyone that walks into the studio” mode in 2011. I was working on so many creative projects and meeting new and talented people throughout the DMV. It was such an exciting time for sure. I was helping a group of […]
