[Studio Sessions]
“Nature never hurries. Atom by atom, little by little, she achieves her work.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson. The three best ways to find zen; A walk in nature, meditation in an art museum, and studio sessions doing portraits.

“Everything we know about the universe is studied by using telescopes or other instruments that look at visible light, infrared, ultraviolet or X-ray - different wavelengths of electromagnetic interactions. Only 4 percent of what’s in the universe gives off electromagnetic radiation, so we don’t have any handle on the rest.” - Barry Barish. Still exploring and continuing my adventures with infrared photography. @sigmaphoto 18-35mm with my @sonyalpha A6000 converted by @kolarivision #sony6000 #sigma1835art #kolarivision

“When you are interviewing someone, don’t just write down what he says. Ask yourself: Does this guy remind you of someone? What does the room feel like? Notice smells, voice inflection, neighborhoods you pass through. Be a cinematographer.” - Gene Weingarten
Stills from a new interview series I’ve been hired on. Always fun hearing from other artists & creatives.

“It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing
Once in the saddle I used to go gay
First down to Rosie’s and then to the card house
Got shot in the breast and I’m dying today
Get sixteen gamblers to carry my coffin
Get six jolly cowboys to sing me a song
Take me to the graveyard and lay the sod o’er me
For I’m a young cowboy and know I’ve done wrong
Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin
Get six pretty maidens to sing me a song
Take me to the valley and lay the sod o’er me
For I’m a young cowboy, and know I’ve done wrong.”

[To Be Wild]
NOW this is the Law of the Jungle — as old and as true as the sky;
And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth forward and back —
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
Wash daily from nose-tip to tail-tip; drink deeply, but never too deep;
And remember the night is for hunting, and forget not the day is for sleep.

“A BOY WITH A BIRD” for @ciara_borgards and @nia.raee — a @usccinema MFA thesis.
I met Ciara what feels like now a little over a year ago as a PA on a shoot.
It’s really cool to now see her direct and be brought back in such a capacity to have her say “just do your thing, I trust you.”
That is a unit photographer’s best compliment.
Thanks to @nia.raee for having me, re—uniting with @mrorigin ’s incredible lighting and meeting @olifernal ’s incredible set design.
What a way to kick off another semester of “film school on my own terms” continuing my path of learning with USC’s sets.
