Rocks State Park

So yesterday was the first day in a little while me and my girlfriend Ashley have been able to spend the whole day together. Not knowing what to do I randomly suggested to go to Rocks State Park and off we went. It was fun, relaxing, and a good time with my girl. I snapped a few photos and so did Ashley so here are the pictures from the day.

Random Movie Fact: In the 2002 film Tuck Everlasting, The working title for the movie was "The Everlasting Tucks", but director Jay Russell thought the original name would fit the movie better.

July is Over

So it is official July is over and done with. It is now August and every so often I like to look back at a month and reflect on how things went. July was interesting as I feel it is every year, it was the month of my birthday and also I think it was the first true transitional month for me. It was the first time I feel like myself and To Tony Productions really stepped things up and started asking for a bit more from our clients, to run a business and provide quality products we had to start asking for decent pay. While at the beginning of July I had a lot of work opportunities and chances to make videos a lot of it just wasn't for the right price. I was getting kinda lowballed and no matter how much I tried to make it work at the end of the day there was really nothing in it for me as an artist or business man. Those that just weren't ready to pay for the quality were I guess left to their own devices, I am just not going to operate like that. It is hard and gigs get passed by a lot but I will take quality over quantity any day of the week. Yes July was a month for me to grow and I think I finally have a great foundation for the future.

Random Movie Fact: The 1994 film Clerks was filmed at the same store in which director Kevin Smith was working at the time. As he was only allowed to film outside of business hours, and because bright enough lights couldn't be afforded, the plot included an explanation for the shutters being always down.
