    Black and White Film Developing Essentials Kit

    I love everything about film photography. I love the cameras, I love the choices of film stock, I love developing it and seeing the final result. If you’re considering shooting film then I suggest you consider learning how to develop film as well. It can be frustrating at times but also liberating once you’re comfortable…

  • My First Bullet Journal

    My First Bullet Journal

    This will be a quick entry today. I am going to try Bullet Journaling. I have carried a Moleskine notebook (or notebooks like it) consistantly for about 8 years and off and on for longer than that. Most of the time I have never had any sort of specific system for organizing it. Usually would…

    Art Gallery Photo Contest

    A local art gallery, City Lights Art Gallery, held their first inaugural juried photo contest in June. One of the pieces I entered was recognized with an award. I’m super honored to have my work recognized among all of the other awesome work submitted. I am even more excited to continue to help and support…

  • A Sunday Swim

    A Sunday Swim

    A favorite summer activity for my son and I is swimming. Often times we take our GoPro with us to capture some cool video as well as use it for an object to hide and find in the water. Since I have been playing around with an editing app for the iPad Pro called LumaFusion…

  • Getting Back To It

    Getting Back To It

    In November I was writing every single day and blogging every day. December has been a different story. It is the 16th as I write this and I have not written a blog in a couple of weeks. I have worked on my script a little but I’ve mainly been busy with other things. Hopefully…

    NaNoWriMo 2018 – Day 29

    Where did the month go? It flew by fast, that’s for sure. Yesterday was a good writing day. I figured out a couple of things in the script that needed to be addressed. I’ve been using Scrivener on this script but I still use Final Draft as well. Would you guys want to see a…

    NaNoWriMo 2018 – Day 28

    Day 28 was another busy day. The writing went well. I’m not knocking out pages like I want to but I’m building momentum or at least regaining momentum that once lost. I’m rewatching some of my favorite sci-fi films in any free time I have, and I just started reading a sci-fi novel. There have…

    NaNoWriMo 2018 – Day 27

    Day 27 has gone away. I wrote and progress was made. I’m writing again now and coming up on a flashback scene in my script. In my script I’m merely putting the year the scene takes place so the reader knows it’s a flashback. I wonder how this flashback and other flashbacks in this film…

    NaNoWriMo 2018 – Day 26

    Another day down. As I’m writing this script, my mind can’t help but think of other things I can create that involve the characters and this story universe I’m building. Maybe it’s my impatience but I wish I could share with you a short novel, a short film, anything that gives you a taste of…

  • NaNoWriMo 2018 – Day 24

    NaNoWriMo 2018 – Day 24

    Day 24 is over and my long holiday weekend is coming to an end. Only one more week left in November. I won’t be done with this script by then but I will keep writing and keep writing updates on my progress. Soon I will be able to start talking about the story a little…
