The Sun Times news is an old paper, but they have a new YouTube channel. It was really lovely to help them bring their vision of their own “60 Minutes meets Ken Burns” launch to life.
Edit: I added the link in my bio
Call your reps and tell them you don’t want them spending $50M of YOUR money on a foreign mine that won’t create meaningful employment and will ruin our greatest natural resources. This is the gist - you can use the scripts on ProtectThePorkies.com, or you can use this info dump to build your own enthusiasm to reject this line item of the budget. Jon and I have been following the @protect_the_porkies for years now. This is near and dear to us. If you do one act of democratic engagement this week please make it this. YOUR representative will be in the room and has a voice and a vote. Tell them how we feel.
Tonight at 7:30 new #trailsidetune with @adam.j.snyder link in bio. This was the first one we shot, and it was a very minimal set up. Short and sweet. I must give Adam props as it was freezing that day but his fingers powered through. Sometimes it’s just about getting one light, and letting the artist and the environment take over. Special thanks to @treysarmento for lending a hand that day and my beautiful partner in crime @cillavision for following us around with a camera and taking the pics 🫶🏻🥰☀️📸
If you haven’t seen @cowgirl_ypsi first music video yet, click the link in bio! Two songs, one video. This is also the first #trailsidetunes to be dropped! There are two more coming with @adam.j.snyder next month, and @sonicsmut in March. Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss it!
So excited for the first Trailside Tunes drop this week on Thursday Jan 30th! Big thanks to @vestergaardfarms for letting us use their fields and cattle for this video. Make sure to go to my YouTube @cameracowboy (link in bio) and subscribe to keep up to date with the future drops, and everything else in store for 2025. Big shout out to everyone in this photo who helped make it happen! 📸: @uglyblanketphotography
Howdy outlaws,
It’s your friend the Camera Cowboy here to tell you my YouTube will be launching at the end of January (link in bio). To kick things off, I present to you my first series “Trailside Tunes”.
Gather round the campfire as I showcase local bands in their natural habitats. This is the first of many videos to be dropped throughout the year of 2025. So make sure to hit that subscribe button. I couldn’t have done this without the help of many talented friends. Show you appreciation by sharing, subscribing, and leaving a <3. Make sure to give the artists a follow, if you haven’t already. The best part of them being local, is that they’re constantly all playing shows, and you can see them in action yourself. #trailsidetunes #cameracowboy
sets wrapped 2024
reflecting and realizing that sometimes I think to myself “I don’t do enough” and then when I scroll thru my photos I see that I’m doing back-to-back days in different states and cities a LOT and i did so many things this year. producing, directing, editing, scripting, set design, marketing, creative direction. I wrote a book. Worked on several documentaries. Several narrative pieces. Several ads. Helped launch businesses. Wrote a book??
My future is anything and everything I want it to be and the ONLY hard part is making time for it all. this year was a weird exercise in a hundred things. Doing my full time media job and finding time for side work in all the crevices and somehow still lovin on ppl. Making bffs with 2 year olds and making sure thru it all I can still be bffs with myself.
I have a dozen dreams and I have my whole life to make each of them come true.
Big, big love to all the beautiful friends I made and held this year. Big big love to the professionals I’m lucky to work alongside and laugh with and build with. Times can be so hard but they’re so much easier with a community you care about.
Here’s to more nonsense 2025 bring it on
went to Ohio for the rocks and the leaves. you leave with rockin memories of you pack the point n shoot because then you don’t have a yappy phone in your face telling you there’s pretty things a thousand miles away too. The prettiest is always right in front of me.
