Luke!

Today is yet another day for more pictures! Yesterday evening I ran down to a friend of mines house to take pictures of his Jack Russell terrier named Luke. I have known Luke since I was a kid and he is now an old dog. Since he is old his health is starting to decline so I figured I would do something nice for my friend and try to take some great pictures of the dog before he gets much worse. I was hoping to sort of capture the dogs spirit in the pictures, which in some cases I think I do. Have a look at the pictures, I hope you enjoy them and any feedback as always is awesome!

Random Movie Fact: In the 1997 film The Fifth Element, the hero (Bruce Willis) and the villain (Gary Oldman) never meet, nor do they communicate in any way.

Somber Day

Well after a few big developments in my career I was informed last night around 11pm that my grandfather passed away from a long battle with cancer. It was a struggle for him since about last year and things were getting a lot worse for him over the past few days and last night it was too much. I have to say I didn't know my grandfather very well and I regret that so much but I am happy that he can be at peace now. Maybe as time moves forward I will get to know who he was more but for now I am going to be there for my father and my family. I hope everyone will keep there thoughts and prayers for us as we continue to move forward amidst this tragic news.

Big Changes For Tomorrow

So today I have been running myself ragged in a day that should have been a lot more chill, mainly because my morning class got cancelled but I didn't realize it until after I got up to Towson which sucked. So after being up for all that time I went back home took a shower then got my hair cut, then came back for an audio interview, now I am going to class, then ditching my last class in favor of talking with a good friend about being DP for my next big film project.

Tomorrow is making me nervous because I have the all important meeting with the principal of my old high school. This is vital to the film because I need this location since the majority of the story takes place at the high school, if I get shot down it will be devastating. We will see how it goes but I shaved the beard and cut the hair and bought a nice outfit all for tomorrow. It is huge to me.

Other than that I can really start to see all the shots I want for the film and the vision is really starting to come to life which is exciting because the more concrete idea I have, the better it will be come filming time.
