Kudzu for Nat Geo

The first day of my internship at National Geographic Magazine, I was sent out to shoot a picture of kudzu, the invasive vine that blankets vegetation. It's not the most invigorating subject in the world, but I set out at night to do some light painting to try to make it a bit more dynamic.

lost but found

I came across these images in the depths of my hard drives - Circa 2007 in Gainesville, Florida, when my way of life was engulfed by the college, with plenty of good friends and good times.

Snowpocalypse

There was a blizzard here in DC before Christmas. And I just found these photos on my desktop.

picking up

I'm finally back in the states and almost done with my Nat Geo internship. So, I'll pick up from where I left off, leaving New York, and save some of those frames that would just end up sitting in the depths of my hard drive if they didn't have a home here.

on a jet plane

I'm finally leaving this country for a little while. But I'm not leaving you empty handed. Some of my work will appear on a new blog some friends and I created to motivate each other to keep seeing, producing and sharing stories with our friends, neighbors, allies and strangers in this world.

moving on

I just finished up my internship at MediaStorm and am working on closing up this chapter and starting the next one in DC for the National Geographic internship. I'm ready to move on, but will definitely miss the relationships I've made here. I learned a lot in these past 5 months, things that have and will continue to inform my shooting and take my storytelling to a new level.

I stumbled upon this time lapse I shot a couple months ago and threw this together on my last day -- A Day in the Life of MediaStorm -- (music by Radiohead - Idioteque (butchered))
