The Latest

I feel so empty handed today, I don't have any pictures to upload or any other kind of content to show off. Sorry for that. However I have been working my butt off at my part time job up in Towson. I have been working with editing/video production/logging footage. It has been cool and the hours aren't bad either. That being said on my end TTP is going kind of slow but this weekend is the return of football! Well high school football at least, yes again this year I am recording football games for IBN sports based out of California. This weekend is the Patriot Classic at Navy Stadium so I have four games to film in one day...fun fun. In addition the next day I will be up at the Baltimore Humane Society filming some event they have going on, I just contracted it about an hour ago so more details coming my way soon. Other than that not much else to talk about here, going to relax the rest of the evening.

Random Movie Fact: In the 1970 film Five Easy Pieces, when Dupea goes to quit his oil-rigging job, the loud whirring of machines can be heard in the background. This identical sound effect was used seven years later by George Lucas, for the trash compacter scene in Star Wars.

Zero to Hero

So these past two days I started working for a car dealership as a photographer which has been pretty cool. I take photos of the cars for their website and then they upload them onto their website later. The pay is ok, nothing amazing to say the least but for now it is a means to an end for me and I have been pretty strapped for work. I hope that soon though business will pick up to a point where I can move on from it. We will see, I don't mind it and as long as I don't get too screwed over it is all good.

In other news I feel like for a while there I was on a bit of a streak where I was making more enemies than friends. Between not working a whole lot, a ton of free time, and also just too much thinking I was in a bad place. I hate where I was in life and anyone I offended at that time I extend deep apologies too, but now that I am back on track with life I think I can starting mending it all up. I am sure it will all work out in the end.

Random Movie Fact: In the 2004 film Ocean's Twelve, the Night Fox's mansion is on the shores of Lake Como in Italy. The name of the city overlooking Lake Como is Bellagio. The city and the lake were the inspiration for the design of the Bellagio casino in Las Vegas, site of the heist in Ocean's Eleven.

Premieres and Fears

Tonight I am going to go up to the premiere of the film Fang which everyone should try to make it up to. It is being held at Towson University in Van Bokkelen Hall at 7:30pm tonight. I am sure it will be good and anything I can do to support local Maryland artists/filmmakers I try and do. I am sure it is going to be a great film and a few of the actors I have worked with in the past will be in it.

It is happening around the same time as the Gas Guzzlers premiere last year which was held on 12-10-10.

Also in about an hour and a half I have an interview for an internship, the one I was supposed to have last week until I went to the wrong building without realizing it. However I am not too worried about it since I think I have strong chance of getting it, but ya never know. I am debating whether to take it because I gotta call a guy who is looking for an extra photographer at his studio, which would be paid, I think I will take that over the two.

We will see though what happens, with the way my life works what seems to be a solid deal never ever ever is, but at least I can say there is never a dull moment.
