Currently, I am editing a new video for Tracy. A "behind the scenes" look of his rehearsals, Q&A and world premiere of PCR. As you can see from the dates of performances, Tracy performed masterfully at Nashville, Carmel and Carnegie Hall. Congrats and many thanks to Tracy and his manager, Mitchell Korn. It was amazing to work with them and meeting a legend in the music world, Terry Riley. Truly an honor.

Nashville magazine Local Table gave me a really cool assignment to photograph Table 3, a semi-new restaurant in the Green Hills area. All the food, by Chef Will Uhlhorn, are from local farmers in the Middle Tennessee and Central Kentucky Region. Pick up a copy of Local Table in Nashville.

FIRE!!!

After seeing a taping of "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" at TPAC. I saw a large orange glow from a distance with a huge plume of white smoke. Naturally, I drove to the fire to see what happened. Luckily, I had my camera gear in my car.

You can see more about the fire here.

New Video! Contra Dancing

New video project completed. I wanted to do a more journalistic style video; using ambient audio and music.

I shot this with my friend's sony HD handicam. Videography or video journalism has been a style I have been wanting to explore. I really enjoyed doing this. I cant wait to explore this more often. Next time, I'll use a DSLR ( more control, better color correction and overall quality) and have more quotes. I realize the challenge of finding good quotes, it's the foundation of a story.

I'll post more videos from china in it's same theme to music, but i will also post some raw videos from the trip and other mini vids using ambient audio.

Local Honey

Some of my photographs will be featured at Fall fashion show at Local Honey, a local retail store. I photographed for designers Jamie and The Jones.

It was last second shoot. I was called to this shoot b/c the photographer bailed out last minute. The model, and my friend, thought of me and called me to do a very impromptu shoot.

It was a lot fun and hope to do this more in the future.
