First roll of 35mm still film β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” Definitely a learning curve, adjusting from 8 and 16mm motion picture film. Not sure how I ended up using these formats. Probably because I’m nostalgic and enjoy making everything harder than it needs to be? On a real note, I’ve been shooting in the film family for about 3 years now. It’s got an extra layer of messaging that digital just doesn’t have. Maybe it’s the grain or knowing how percise and calculated each shot has to be? Or all the potential β€œmistakes” that could happen along the way (light leaks etc) before you even get a chance to see your work. You could compare it to binge watching a show vs. waiting for new episodes to drop weekly, there’s definitely a difference in the experince. Anyways, I take a lot of photos and shoot a lot of videos on all formats. Mostly because I know change is just as inevitable as time passing. Not a big change kinda guy, so here we are capturing the moments that time’ll forget. If I’m not on the camera capturing you or the moment, I’m probably distracted or you must be pretty important to have gathered my full attention. What would you name this series? β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”-β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” 🎞️ Kodak 400 TX @kodak πŸ“Έ Nikon FE @nikonusa πŸ“·Nikkor 50mm lens β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” #film #photography #kodak #nikon #bw

MCGRAW AVE: H-BLOCK SZN 2 PREMIERE!! Now streaming on the UCULT app. Thank you to everyone that came out to the event! β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” β€”β€”It’s really special being able to share moments like these with such a tight knit community!! The crew and cast worked diligently to make it happen this past summer and it sure feels like the hard work has paid off!! It’s a crazy feeling, knowing I had really just jumped into the film industry for season 1 of HBLOCK and now the same project that got me started, has become my launch pad as a Director of Photography. Huge shout out, (lmao honestly words in the caption of an insta post can’t/would never do it justice) to my closest of friends that were able to attend (yes that includes u bears fan), having that shared experience was pretty damn cool. Gotta give thanks to my family for their continued support/attendance and the friends from @lushhair1 that attended! and of course the production company and team that made it happen!! β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” 2k26 Wach u got?? ⏰ ⏰ πŸ“Έ @frenchqualitypics_

Last September-November we shot the last bits of MCGS3! It was tough, the hours were long, but we pushed through. I was a Sound Mixer. When I first started I had no idea how audio worked, I was on set YouTubing how-to videos… but that’s the thing about me, you could tell me to do make-up and imma spend all night and day tryna figure out how to be the best make-up artist (luckily that hasn’t happened…yet πŸ‘€). Fast forward a year later and we just WRAPPD SZN 2 HBLOCK. I was able to DP/CAM OP my first show. You could say I was given the opportunity, but I like to think I earned it. Ive been on set for just over 2 years with the @mulafilms FAMILY, nose to the ground, in the mud, learning, working, growing. When things got tough, the late night drives got harder and harder, work started interfering with class, missed family functions, and I wasn’t sure how much longer I could keep going for… gratitude hit me. I get to do exactly what I’ve always wanted to do and live off of it. Gratitude is powerful, it can get you through extremely difficult circumstances. Maybe it comes with age, but I try an do a lot less complaining and lot more β€œit’s cool, it’s gonna get better, stick with it”. I just wanna say thank you to everyone that’s been in my life, past and the present. The foundations of who I am today. Family, Eagle harbor, WB fellas, MPI Folk and especially everyone at MULA, there’s too many to name lol! I’ve got a long ways to go, but I think it’s important to give thanks to every small step along the way! HERES TO ANOTHER YEAR AND ANOTHER SEASON OF HBLOCK! *Lastly to anyone else reading this far. Fuckin go for it.* The best photographers in the game: @frenchqualitypics_ @blitzfrombk @catchtheredghost
