Thrilling Images

So here below are some images I took of my brother and his girlfriend. They came out pretty good, but it really started to make me think. What if I made an entire short film out of still black and white images.




See the thing is I want to capture this image or raw emotion into a good short story. I have the idea for the short which is based off a true event, that happened with me in my old apartment. But the whole idea is really to build a large amount of care and suspense for the audience in just an image.

I called my old friend Davin up to see if she wanted to partake. "Of course," she said which is always the good thing. More plans for the idea will happen after the New Year. So we will see.

Another Music Video for my Brother!!!!

So After the New Year and the big hangover we all have, I'm set to shoot a new music video with my brother. I brought on my old friend Hunter Baker to shoot it with me.

And yes, it will be shot on the Jersey Shore again, but this time at locations that people don't really recognize. Majority of the shooting will be done in an alley that looks over the water in Deal, NJ. The great thing is no one knows about it. Vast parts of Asbury Park that no one seems to look at. The rare things that we notice are all ways the good things. It makes the piece stand out more and stand on its own.

Hopefully this video will be successful as the others that have gotten high hits on Youtube.com or have gone to broadcast. But we will have to see. Maybe this will be the first of many that will come under my new up and coming company, LIFTED PICTURES. A production company set for music videos and music related media to be created!

Money + Film = BROKE

So check this out, even though shooting movies is my passion, capturing a moment, style, or personality is really what I enjoy most. Either making a film or shooting photos, a great landscape with those three elements I listed above you can't loose...Well at least I think.


I found these photos I took of my brother back in the summer. I have been trying to shoot more just like this style, but with film costing a lot that becomes an issue. So rolls already shot just wait on the shelf till I get the cash to develop them.



The best part about some of these shots are the style in which it starts to bring back memories. I felt like I was a kid looking at an image of the Jersey shore from the 90s, a place that really wasn't a big vacation spot as it is now. Still having those abandon home and apartments right on the water from Asbury Park to Long Branch.
