Video

The times the are a changin my friends. I have a deep love for photography and always will but i have become infatuated with video lately. The idea to me that I am able to just document everything with sounds and motions has a large draw over the still image of photography to me right now. I by no means want to make a switch over for it but I am trying to become decent in both aspects of documentation.

I spend a lot of time on vimeo just browsing videos and watching what appeals to me. My favorite ones are just videos where its people just hanging out. Whether it be family or friends it just has such an affect to know that those memories and times will forever be able to be viewed by them and cherished. I cant wait till I am able to see videos me or my friends have made and think "Dang those where good times"

Video is still a very new thing to me but I am trying to make myself work on it so I can get better. This is just some footage I took while playing some polo with Dusty, Glenn and Andrew a lil while back. Its a fun video i think. Nice practice to work on other things and just keep editing.

Summers and Bikes; Nothing better

For nearly as long as I can remember I have always enjoyed riding bikes but over these last two years that enjoyment has grown into a love.  This love has lead me to meet many new friends and have many great times.  I only wish that everyone could see the times that are had when riding with some good buddies just cruising around never knowing where or what may happen.  This is why Glenn and myself have been doing some filming with a very small video camera that I recently acquired.  By the end of summer we are hoping to have a film put together showing how great a summer on bikes in North Idaho really can be.  This here is just a teaser along with a photo that Glenn snapped of me a few days ago. Enjoy and be on the lookout for more to come.
