Since I write for my boss on Sundance’s fashion blog, I try to keep up with the other bloggers. Typically, its all fine and swell but fashion just doesn’t get my heart all a flutterin’. This post by Christina Turner, however, got me going! James Blagden took an old radio interview with Dock Ellis and illustrated his crazy tale about pitching a no hitter for the San Diego Padres while on LSD. Collaboration at its finest! According to Turner, Blagden is currently at Sundance with this video. A personal project turning into a trip to Sundance? I’ll take two.

Vice has been all over the internets lately with their new CNN partnership. But, honestly, checking out this preview puts the partnership in perspective. This documentary looks amazing. I’m all for publishing Good Stories by any means necessary and Vice is definitely keeping it real with this one.

Craigslist helped me find my new camera last week, a used Canon 5D MKII. I’ve been a proponent of used equipment for a while now, because not only does it let you go easy on the budget, but often you get a glimpse of your gear’s past life from its previous owner. My camera, for example, shot a documentary.

When the local deluge stopped and the sky was suddenly looking clear, I made a jaunt to the nearest strip mall, where I found a pack of teenagers psyching up for their Friday night.

A cold snap in Florida has every county declared a disaster area and its my job to show Floridians what their farmers are going through. I attempt to do this beautifully, making the images as impactful as possible.

San Diego collectively said “WTF” yesterday when the area received a tornado warning.

Short-term stories can be a great starting point for leads, but if you’re going for the long-term project, make sure to go above and beyond what’s already been done. Decide what part of a story needs to be told, and stay focused on contributing something new.

A man’s voice sounded from inside the short white school bus. “Free tea!” the voice declared to the outside world passing by. Guisepi sat perched on a cooler, tending a kettle of tea. He looked so comfortable in his makeshift kitchen of storage tubs and wooden shelves that you could actually believe he had spent the last four years trekking up and down the West Coast serving free tea.

Today I was in North Park, strolling up University Avenue for about half an hour.

I posted a teaser of this project a few weeks ago. It is now done and hopefully blowing up the internet and selling this house. It’s cheesy but real estate people have been responding positively. This is my first editing project and I learned lots along the way (clipping audio! drop shadows! the rules of speeding up video!). My dad contributed to a new Macbook Pro–love you pops–so I can edit on my own now and not harass friends who have computers capable of running final cut pro.
