Time To Get Wet...

It is burning hot in North Texas right now. This triple digit weather is murder! Luckily, my most recent cover story photo shoot for Quick was a cool one. I will admit, though... it was a little scary taking my expensive Canon 5DmkII and my Profoto AcuteB 600r strobe pack and ring light in the water with me. One slip and I would've lost a LOT of great photo gear on this shoot! No accidents, though. Everything went well and the models were great to work with.

In case you were wondering exactly how this sexy photo feature was shot, you can find out all the juicy details in the behind-the-scenes video. Luckily, John Jones - my friend, occasional photo assistant and amateur photo/video dabbler - was there to capture this pool party on his new Canon 60D. Wouldn't it be nice if all my Dallas photo shoots were at Hotel ZaZa's pool? I could get used to that!

More Old Video...

Here is another batch of old video features I did for a community publication that is no longer around. This batch covers some music-related video features I did around Dallas. It includes documentaries I did on musicians Trey Johnson, Tom Bridwell and the late Carter Albrecht.

Some Old Videos...

I thought I'd share some old video documentary pieces I did for a now-defunct online community newspaper. It was fun filming and editing these little news features. Many of the videos are a few years old now, and you can tell I was still working on my video and post production skills...

The above video is about an annual charity Easter Egg Hunt. That was a blast to shoot! Kids running everywhere and lots of action to capture.

The above video was probably one of the most adventurous features I've ever done video for. We trekked through the storm drains of downtown Dallas!

This was a fun little video feature on a privately run community library in Lake Highlands. It is hard to believe this place still exists today. It feels like something straight out of 1955...

I'll post some more of these old videos throughout the coming days, and I'll soon be able to post the new Von Ehrics music video I did! In the meantime, check out my other work here:
