A couple years ago, I worked on a documentary that told the story of the Spokane Tribe of Indians and their wars of 1848 with Colonel George Wright and Colonel Steptoe. I planned principle photography around this reenactment that the Washington Civil War Association puts on every year in May. For information on seeing it live for yourself go here.
I filmed just the North, as that was going to be my military for the documentary. The uniforms aren’t an exact match for the 1848 era, but they were as close as I was going to get without a wardrobe department. This video is a highlight reel of footage captured during the event. If you are in the Spokane area, it is definitely worth a trip.
An evening shoot for a client’s architectural competition project. The site is where Madison Street terminates at the Ohio River in Covington, KY. These images are to be used as background source material for the 3d model renderings of the future sculpture and pavilion.
This first image was created in camera. With my Sony A7SII I used the app “Smooth Reflection” which generates 128 images and compiles them into one- ALL in camera! It is great for night cityscapes like this as well as for removing accidental people that might be walking through or loitering in your perfectly composed image.
This image is from the John Roebling bridge. With the cars movement across the suspension bridge, the “Smooth Reflection” app is rendered nearly useless for getting a sharp image. This generated a similar effect with simply a longer shutter. It worked great, as there were no people I needed to remove. Sadly, the truck and trailer stayed parked right in the middle of the sculpture’s site all evening.
Another couple “Smooth Reflection” shots from on and behind the building site. The rendered 3d Model will be located around the perimeter of the concrete octagon.
Had the joy of working with author Heather Lang on her latest kids book, Fearless Flyer. I created the book trailer-
Also, for those who would like to see a full description and write-up on this spectacular book look here…
If you are looking for a great non-fiction story about a strong woman who overcame gender biases and naysayers, then definitely look at not only this book but all of the books from Heather Lang! I am a fan.
There is an open jam every friday evening at the Rabbit Hash general store. There are many regulars, and occasional a new face in the crowd, like me. If you are looking for a welcoming environment to play and pluck along with some fine musicians, this is the place! Don’t be afraid to let the dust fly off that case, get your instrument tuned up and join the fun.
When you can’t find the right song to play, just make one up. Rabbit Hash open jam session moments, they might happen again, but they will never be the same.
Nearly a week after the fire that took most of the Rabbit Hash General Store, with the help of many hands they have reopened! In a new location within eyesight of the the blackened remains, the tradition of a Friday night jam session continues- without skipping a beat.
