...NCAA/Buick Human Highlight Reel: Asad Abdul-Khaliq

2011-04-01T11:55:00.000-07:00

This is my submission for the NCAA/Buick Human Highlight Reel. I interviewed the former starting quarterback for the University of Minnesota (1999-2003) for the assignment. I had 60 seconds to tell his story and this is what came out of my interview. Here's the brief: A tragic event caused Asad Abdul-Khaliq to reflect on his situation at the time as an athlete, a father and a husband. He

What can I say about my puppets...I mean...Kevin and Sarlyn (aka Kevlyn)? Long story, short, I played match maker to this fun couple. Short story, long, Sarlyn visited NYC with some of her friends October 2008. She was in the market for a man, and I told her I had just the guy for her. She resisted any sort of friendly reference, but I knew I had to at least introduce her to my friend Kevin.

I present to you the video for Los Rakas - Kalle. We shot this back in July 2010, so technically this was my second music video. Glad we were able to release it after all the touring Los Rakas did for the second half of 2010. These guys have great talent and I hope this video did justice to their music as well as NYC.

Any case, I am seeing more an more people post pictures and just leave it with a name. I think that's kind of funny and kind of cool at the same time. So I will try that. Post pictures with minimal

Well here goes my first video release for 2011. Remember when I shot Wizdom's Never Doubt Me video? Well, during that same time, he had a contest to remix his Got Ya Numb song - arguably his best song yet. So they picked a winner and the idea was to shoot a quick video to declare the winner. And since I was in town and kind enough to shoot the Never Doubt Me video, Wizdom asked if I could

I almost didn't post this video up. I shot/edited it to study the art of slow motion video. Not sure the NYC marathon was the best place to try this out, but why not make the challenge harder than it should be? I mean it's easy to slow down people who are running 5 minute miles, 8 minute miles, 10 minute miles and so forth. Right? Right?!?! There was a lot of experimentation with slow motion,

The ability to tell a story with a picture or to create a short film for just one day was something I really wanted to do. However, there was something inside of me that didn't feel right about just doing that stuff. I questioned my confidence to handle a wedding on my own. I questioned my

I present to you: Wizdom - Never Doubt Me (Official Music Video) This is my sophomore music video release and I hope you like it. There's a lot to say about this video, so let's get started. One of the special things about this video is that I got to work with David "Wizdom" Mazzeo. We've known each

I had no idea what to expect, but I knew it was something I believed in. I didn't expect to be able to add so much to my reel as well as my experience. It didn't go without any hiccups, but I enjoyed myself. I got to

2010-10-10T19:52:00.000-07:00

For my 1000th post, I wanted to pay tribute to the city that started this all, NYC. If it wasn't for my move to NYC, I wouldn't have this blog. If it wasn't for NYC, I wouldn't have so much to shoot. And after three years of being here, I can honestly say NYC has become a part of me. I still remember when I first started this blog. I would constantly question my move. I would get home

Again, these guys are making a documentary on Seattle hip hop. And if done right, this video will be something special. And well, when they asked me to help, I didn't hesitate to work with them. They were in NYC to shoot two of Seattle's biggest

However, since I pass through SoHo during my walk home (Washington Square Park to Brooklyn Heights), I thought I'd bring my camera. After more discussion, I decided to come up with a fun project. It's actually a play off of a project I wanted to do last summer, but this was a

His name is Gene Dexter - the coolest guy in Seattle. I can't explain what he does, but all I know is that he's the guy to know in Seattle's hip hop world. He came down to be on the set of the upcoming video. Look for his cameo. Gene was

Here's a pic from the Wizdom & Grynch - Got Ya Numb set. We'll probably release these sometime this week. This turned out to be one of my favorites and may make the final cut of "official" photos. But for now, enjoy my tagged photo. ;)

...Wizdom & Grynch - Got Ya Numb (Behind The Scenes)

2010-05-07T05:02:00.000-07:00

I present to you the official behind the scenes video for Wizdom & Grynch - Got Ya Numb. It was fun working on this project and hopefully the video reflects that. The footage was taken by me, with the exception of the very end (be sure to watch the whole thing). The editing? Well, that's all me. I tried to pack in as many cameos as I could as well as step outside the usual box of editing

So I was experimenting with my new lens and this came out of the test run. I haven't put the lens to the test, but I do feel more refreshed in posting on my blog more, so why not share? To me this almost seems like it could be two pictures merged into one. You have my friend on the left with the sun beating on him on in mid stride, out of focus in the foreground. Then you have the business

...cinco de mayo

2010-05-05T08:31:00.000-07:00

This one is from my father: What do you call a jar of mayonnaise sitting in a sink? Sink-o de mayo. What? Classic. Hey, remember when I went to Barcelona? Yeah, me too. I still need to edit the pictures (late pass, I know). The above picture is of a Spanish style plaza just off the Ramblas. And since I've never been to Mexico, I thought I would honor Cinco De Mayo with something Spanish.

...celebrity win of the night

2010-05-03T21:46:00.000-07:00

Well here goes the Ain't No Doubt About It Win! There was so much commotion when Justin Timberlake got out of the Audi SUV (the only one of the night to roll in an Audi), that I just went rapid fire. I still got the win on this one. Aces. Shout out to Melissa and Tita. I totally got this for you guys ;)

2010-05-03T21:36:00.000-07:00

So what happens when one tries to live out the life of the paparazzi? He gets some celebrity wins at the arrivals to the Party of the Year. This is a shout out to the group of people I met this evening, who also have my business card. Here are two of the bigger names we were delighted to see. The next one deserves its own post. So to the three folks who I met on Monday evening, feel free to

...5boro bike tour

2010-05-02T23:04:00.000-07:00

Well another year brings another Five Boro Bike Tour. It's an annual 42 mile bike ride thru Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island. I did this last year in the pouring rain and this year it was blazing hot. I think they said it hit the upper 80s, and it was pretty humid. This is pushing the conditions I would actually want to ride (sometimes it takes more energy than needed

2010-05-02T22:55:00.000-07:00

I had to work on a beautiful day in NYC. I missed the festival I wanted to shoot, but I still had my camera. As I was walking down to the Brooklyn Bridge I was met with a march of protesters. What were they marching for? They were demonstrating against the new law in Arizona. Rightfully so. I took mostly video and will get that cut out within a week (hopefully). But for now, here's a

2010-05-02T22:50:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Been working on some stuff that has taken up most of my free time. Here's a pic from Park Slope. Shout out to Joe who said his friend in high school used to say "It's so nice, it's 'snice." Ha!!!

My friend Toan is in a band Clock Wisdom. I went to see them play at Kenny's Castaways in NYC. I shot video. Here's the teaser.

2010-04-19T23:02:00.000-07:00

So here we are, folks. The official video for Raylene's 18th birthday celebration. This was from the video I was able to get when not taking pictures or emceeing her party. Hope you enjoy it. If the video gets choppy, just pause it and let it load, then play it again. Shout out to the Castillote family (Uncle Ray, Auntie Femy, Rachel, Raylene, all their aunts/uncles/cousins) for treating

I present to you the candy/dessert table from Raylene's debut. This was well put together by both Rachel and Rose. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to taste any of these, but I couldn't help but hear the compliments on it. Why focus on this instead of the other pictures from the party? Well, Rachel only had to ask me once about how the pics of her dessert table came out. It started an

Well, it looks like my promo pictures for the Got Ya Numb video have been leaked to other blogs, so I might as well post them here, but one at a time. This one is from the restaurant we all ate at after the first day of shooting. It seemed like the who's who of Seattle hip hop were there. If I remembered their stage names, I'd put them down. Ha. But enjoy.
