Hey, We Need to Catch Up

‘Hey, We Need to Catch Up’ – a phrase I’ve been saying more and more to friends families and old colleagues. Admittedly, since moving to Los Angeles, I’ve been posting less on social media, communicating with old friends far less, posting on this blog far less than usual, and just been dormant, socially, far more often. So let’s do some massive catching up, and talk about some of the things I’ve been doing since I’ve moved here to Los Angeles.

Over the last 6 months, I’ve had the opportunity to be on multiple podcasts put together by old friends of mine throughout the United States. However, after being on these podcasts, I’ve done a pretty terrible job promoting them to my readers and fans. So better late than never right? Here are some of the podcasts I’ve recently been on.

If you follow me on social media, you may know that I recently was able to get my hands on a drone, to help with video work for upcoming projects. Through a contest held by Picr, I won a DJI Inspire 1 drone system, among the very best drone systems available. Through the use of this drone, I’ve been able to create some really amazing aerial footage and photos throughout Los Angeles, and it has become one of my absolute favorite things ever. I’ve also been working with productions, to help capture B-roll footage all over Los Angeles, and am excited to have my reel done to show you all soon.

Perhaps one of the most exciting things I’ve done for my career is coming in the month of April, and it just occurred to me that I’ve mentioned very little about it on social media. That said, I’ll be traveling to the Philippines for three weeks in April, and while there, working with a couple charities to help raise awareness of world hunger and child poverty. Through the help of Canon, I’ll be taking photos of orphans and children in the Philippines, and printing the photos on site, and delivering the images to them. For many of them, they’ve never had their photo taken before, so this small act of kindness will hopefully make their year. I’ll also be posting the images to social media, and encouraging donations to a charitable organization called LifeChild.

I’ll also be bringing video gear with me, to help photograph and take videos from the trip. The goal is to not only raise awareness with the photos I’m able to capture while out there, but also create a nice and short documentary to help spread the word of how others can help those who are so desperately in need for help. Among that gear is my drone, which I mentioned above. With the help of the Inspire 1, I hope to be able to create some incredible footage to later be used in a massive project.
