I was going to make this whole philosophical post in hopes to maybe help others, but I feel like it best to keep my inner thoughts about life lately to myself. Anyways, It's April 16th, and I just turned 34. No better way to spend it than to take a solo trip to Thailand and to be around the wonderful people of this country. The services at Katathani Phuket Beach resort were amazing. The bellman, "Ping Pong" almost made me cry when he rang my doorbell and brought me a cake with candles. The experience at the resort was unlike any other. I also had an amazing time wandering the streets of Bangkok and Phuket during the Thai New Year celebration "Songkran". Yes I got soaked, but it was all such a great experience. Here is a big tip--if you wear glasses, bring your contacts if you want to snorkel. I wasn't able to because I would have been blind but it was still fun to explore the 5 islands that they brought us to. The sights alone were worth it. I highly recommend anyone who has been thinking about it, to travel here. Coming alone is not bad at all so don't be scared and book that trip already! I appreciate every single person that I've met out here that made my birthday feel so special and a big thank you to everyone who has sent me messages! Thailand has my heart for life!

- @liltunechi - Never in my life did I think I’d ever be on the same set as Lil Wayne! I grew up to his music and played him heavily during his Carter III & IV drops. Such a legend and a rap icon in the eyes of many! This was never on my bucket list, but I’ll scratch that one off right now! Super thankful to have @hadizaeim_ invite me out for this one. It was a pleasure. #lilwayne #rapicon #legend #losangeles #laphotographer #photographer #rap #behindthescenes #stills #LA #hustler #onmygrind #weezyfbaby #weezy #featured #viral #icon #explorepage

This was a super small crew compared to the Shmoney video and this was honestly my favorite. @itsbobbyshmurda is one of the best artists I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and taking pics of. His energy is always on another level and always has a very welcoming and magnetic vibe that he carries with him wherever he goes. This is the 2nd music video that I get to be a part of thanks to my boy @royalevisionmedia and damien.sandoval | I don’t normally step in front of the camera but I just had to this time with Bobby. Who knows if I’ll ever have the chance to see him again. Epic shots!

This music video was so much fun to be a part of! You just had to be there. It was an experience for sure and I'm so happy and blessed to have been a part of it. I feel like I was able to offer as much VTR support as possible and it made me feel accomplished. Location was a tad bit tough for me but I got it done nonetheless. Amazing crew and amazing night into morning shoot! @chrisbrownofficial "For The Moment" Director @traviscolbert Production Company @projektstu Producer @samking Production supervisor: Gensho Tasaka Production coordinator: @chrismoii Production coordinator: @_delsoul Production coordinator: @projectbryan_ 2nd Unit Dir/DP @loganmeis 1st AD @cinemacowboy.rb 2nd unit 1st AD @izzymenow 2nd AD @ariellezolezzi 2nd AD @_whatsthetiff 2nd 2nd AD Jorden Smooth 2nd 2nd AD @melsproduction DP @bbthedp Steadicam @fostervisuals Technocrane @elifranks.dp 1st AC A @luca_turner 1st AC B @vhrispowers 1st AC C @pintoproduction 2nd AC A @jewelsluna 2nd AC B @orojas_cruz VTR @aydren DIT GoPro @kalen_baki_hanma Camera PA @summerstxttoo Drone @sammiefpv Gaffer @jordanbrodiefilms BBE @egillcole Programmer @ian.s.peterson Key Grip: @cinemeon Best Boy: @adrian_proleiko Rigging Key: @chris.van.lieshout Rigging Best: @valtabianjr Production Designer @_vslcarlos_ Art Director @mae.mitchell @nitrocircus SVP /GM: Rickv Milnick @nitrocircus VP: Michael Long

Check out @chrisbrownofficial new song "FALLIN" on YT now! Another Chris Brown job in the bag with an Usher cameo! Thanks for allowing me to provide VTR services on set. Had a crucial role with overlaying on this one and I was stoked to be able to get that done for the on set editors and our director. This job was a fun experience for me and im looking forward to the next one! Thank you @samking for putting your trust in me and bringing me on 🙌 Producer: @samking Director: @traviscolbert 1st AD: @cinemacowboy.rb DP: @bbthedp 1st AC: @luca_turner @vhrispowers 2nd AC: @jewelsluna Steadicam: @renardcheren BTS: @tylerthacreative VTR: @aydren

ANOTHER major music video in the books. Wouldn't have been as fun without my boy @1gnacio2 tackling this as main VTR together. #VTRboiz We get it done and helped things run smoothly on our side when it comes to video playback for our producers and both of our main talent that day: @ladygaga & @doechii | Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of this! It was awesome getting to work with @makingmovesmorales as our 1st AD as well. He really is incredible at managing everything that goes down on set. Hope to work together again! I can't forget about the amazing @haycraftjoshua who was running sound playback like a champion! He had those cues on LOCK! Never missed a beat.

Another music video shoot in the books! Was awesome to come out and see all of the work put in from the crew. Director: @travispayne1 & @thegreatnle were dope to work with. Thank you so much for letting me hop on board to handle video playback / VTR on set for you guys and the family members who attended to watch NLE in action. Production co.: @spittnimage Producer: @ciampashouse Audio Playback: @slaycraft_ (The homie!) VTR: @Aydren VTR Day 2: @kminoru2237 (Thanks for hopping on board!)

Had the pleasure of being able to work on a music video for @lakeithstanfield3 ft. @kidcudi "Fast Life" So many talented people were a part of this and im happy to have made so many connections and reconnections with crew on this project. Im telling you, music videos are my absolute favorite to work on. Especially when everyone that is a part of the process is fun to be around!

Another music video I was able to help VTR on... "What You Want" - @cortis This whole job was fast paced, required alot of running around, and alot of repositioning because of the 360s. It challenged me in all kinds of ways and allowed me to strengthen my thought processes as a VTR op when going into different scenarios for setups. I thank this project for helping to make me a better Video Assist operator. So many things I learned throughout this 25+ location shoot and so happy to have been a part of Cortis' debut music videos! Music video shoots, even though they provide challenges, end up always being my favorite to work on!

@tyla new song DYNAMITE ft. @wizkidayo I had the pleasure of working VTR for this music video that was all shot on film. It was a great time getting to meet Tyla. She ended up sitting in my seat to watch playback at my cart while I was showing her the takes she just had shot. Was pretty cool! Thanks as always for all the opportunities thrown my way. Being a part of the creation of music videos are my favorite even though they require me to be on my toes with all the hustling. I love it!

Another music video added to the list of VTR jobs. Thankful for the opportunity to get to be a part of this one for @themarias song "Back to me" was awesome to see the Pyro and stunts that were pulled off on set. Always a pleasure to see the master focus puller himself @ryansax as well! Great job bro! 1st AC.
