This a special one that will leave a memory. Got to witness greatness pull up on His time, which so happen to be the right time. A 1 Day shoot that was forced by the Powers at be into 2 Days, definition of making a Dollar out of 15 cents.
My first time working w/ @salvad0randres as D.P. And meeting @focusfoo.la , easy to say the Camera/Lens package is in good hands, without a doubt.

“2 Lok’d Out Foos Going Craaaaaaazy”
My boy @nathanlukemiles said @sarahmakesmovies needed some rigging and heavy lifting in the desert, times are tough, so we put down our 💡 meter and picked up a 🔨 hammer. Fish Tanks, Dune Buggy’s, fake-ass process trailers, none of that matters , Lakers in 6 🗣️💋. Aye But for real, price just went 🆙💪🏾#Local7280 #CarRigs #ProcessTrailers #griplife #NeedHealthcareHoursTho
Beginning of this year, a mentor of mine texted me a list of experiences I needed to go through to maximize opportunities the future may hold. Shortly after I busted my phone and lost that long ass list. Point is, the Knowledge went up, the price went up, the Luv is all the same.
Industry is white as a snowstorm...
That's why it's always a privilege to work with those trying to change that, and those receptive to change.
Learned more, laughed a lot, didn't lose my hydroflask, that's a W.

Thanks in order of most awkward eye contact made on set (TAGGED)
First time capturing an event on skates. Learned a lot, won't make the same mistakes twice. Thanks to @gypsieswheels & @skatefantacee for leading a skate community that owes a lot to black people. Please don't buy into the hate, BLM isn't about supremacy. If you can question the government on wearing a mask, then you carry that paranoid level of skepticism into local police budgets, police unions, and yes the Democrats that will kneel in front of you today, but nowhere to be found when the cameras go off.
