like whoa.

So if you're an avid reader then you've probably been thinking why I haven't posted so long; truth is I've been hella busy. This month has been pretty much dedicated to Full Sail. All month ive had class except on Sundays, which has sucked greatly. Good thing about this month was that we finally were taught after effects!!! Right now so many people that are coming up in the industry are all about motion graphics so I was really excited to learn it, unfortunately when you learn something such as AE in a school environment you don't necessarily learn it the way you'd hoped you would. Either way its been a hectic month and I can't wait for my next vacation...for those of you who have a life and don't go to Full Sail, that will start June 26th. I'm really excited to be going home this time more so than usually because my roommate, Brooke, is coming up with me and we plan on making the trip one big party :) But of course, I miss everyone back home as well and it will be fun to be back in New England!!!

If you follow regularly you must be wondering why I haven't posted any pictures off my D90 and the reason for that is, b&h photo sent my camera to its billing address (back in Mass) rather than the SHIPPING address so, my camera is unfortunately at my parents house. Of course when I found this out I was furious, but we don't have to get into that... Needless to say, there's another reason I can't wait to get out of this damn city and get home!

Well that's all I got for you as of now, I have to get back to After Effects and editing. Today all of our projects we've worked on from last month (digital cinematography) are due so I've just been cuttin and choppin these past few days like mad. Thankfully tomorrow we have no classes and I plan on getting a bunch of people together and heading down to Cocoa Beach for some fun-in-the-sun and possibly even a little cookout right on the beach! Well wish me luck and as always,





Peace & Love.

What's up everyone? So FINALLY, I'm crazy excited to say that I've made the purchase; the D90 will be in on friday!!! I ended up getting it through b&h photo for about 100$ bucks cheaper than ritz along with getting another 50$ buckaroos off on a standard 18-105mm lens. So if you do the math (not to be mistaken with meth) I guess you could say I basically got the 3 years warranty for free which was a sweet deal. I'm really anxious for it to come in, it's pretty much been on my wish list since January, but I've had the time to do my research and I'm ready to mess around with the setting and different exposures and such. I really want to mess around with HDR (high dynamic range) photography; thankfully, my beautiful camera supports RAW files which will allow me to bring the files into photoshop and have some fun. Needless to say, look out for some sweet pictures and projects I should be posting within the month :)


YAY!!!!!!!!

In some more great news season 5 of the showtime series, Weeds, kicked off tonight, woohoo! I gotta say, if you haven't given it a shot yet please, I strongly encourage everyone to watch a few episodes you'll probably be completely obsessed with it..or at least like it.

Also, incase you're looking for some more sweet news head over to haadcore.blogspot.com/ ...I recently started writing a sunday blog for them called SMOKY SUNDAYS! ha, well that's all for now...





Peace & Love.

give it up for NO DOUBT ya'll

So if you've been reading you'd know that i hit up the no doubt show over in tampa and I have to say, WOW! I expected that the show was going to be awesome, but I was wrong it was fucking fantastic. Everything down to the wardrobe, to back drop, to the overall energy was completely on point. I've been to a lot of really great shows, but honestly No Doubt takes it; Gwen Stefani is by far one of my favorite people on Earth.

Didn't have a camera at the show but luckily my new enV3 came in and I was able to grab a few decent shots. Check em out:








As for school I just started Documentary and Editing class so it should be a good month. Also as I stated earlier, I finally have the enV3 so if you were having trouble getting in touch with me it should be no problemo now :) Keep it real, and as always..




Peace & Love

feels good to be home!

as always. Last night hit we all hit up club hell, unfortunately it lacked the presence of its usual crowd making it pretty lame.
(here's a pic of me and my sister Shayna that was taken at some point last night, couldn' tell exactly which one though)


We took off around 1230 then we headed back to good ol' Jon's house for some toke :) As for tonight I plan on heading to Sam's house for a fire and some good times with some of my favorite people. Well, this is gonna be a short one cos im getting hungry and there is some beautiful cale soup from Academica waiting for me in my kitchen :p




Peace & Love.

oh, was that the week that just flew by?

BUSSSSSSSY, yep that's me. Started monday with day 1 of shooting the free form and it went very well considering how the weather completely through us off schedule, but the team kicked ass and we still managed to pull of 24 shots, saweeet! Tuesday was our "day off" although between the weather and shit that had to get done I was everywhere. Hit up the mall, got some bagels donated for the shoot, cleaned, booked my flight and some paper work also got did. Wednesday was day 2, still couldn't shoot outside, but got some more great stuff recorded. Downside, dropped my phone in a puddle where it remained for the next few hours... thankfully, good ol' Kemuel had an extra phone so I went down to Verizon and got it activated for a sweet 26 bucks; still can't wait for that enV3 to get here! (Release date finally released; May 29th) Today, had our camera specs in DCI; of course, Brooke and I kicked ass and walked away with a billion ;) 

Here's some pics from the shoot:

(hey ya'll quit it!)

As for tomorrow it's off to MA! Flight leaves O-town around 7:30am by breakfast i'll be sippin on some delicious coffee milk <3>

Peace & Love.

for a week, no class?

Unbelievable; somehow I managed to get this whole week off due to shooting schedules for the rest of class and I have to say, it's been fantastic. Sunday we shot our commercial and I think it came out really good. Everyone worked together and there were no major arguments which made for a smooth day. Since then I've pretty much just been catching up on sleep, weeds, cleaning, and sitting under the sun.

In a very spontaneous hippy thought yesterday I decided to go get a tattoo, it was something I had in mind for a while now; here's a picture to settle your curiosity...

                                              

I got it down at chicago tattoo by a really nice guy name santoz who was very happy to take my tattoo virginity. Called moms and told her and lets just say she wasn't too thrilled haha, but hey what can ya do now ;) 

Anyway, I'm off to get some food shopping done and then to the post office to mail my inebriated sister her camera that she forgot in a drunken fit...

Peace & Love.

awesome cover, I suggest immediate download. Anyway, its been a while since I last posted but basically just been up to the same old. School's been time consuming, loans have been stressful, distance has sucked, and well some stuff has come out between friends. Tomorrow, well considering the time, later today, were shooting our DC commercial and I gotta say it feels pretty good. Although sometime our group tends to butt(?) heads I think we'll be alright.  Well, I'm off to bed, big day starts in a few hours; good thing it's expected I'll be wearing a cap, ha.

p.s. I started watching weeds and I'm just about done with the first season, so good. Seriously comrades, give it a shot.

Peace & Love.
