stones (not all ideas actualize)

Other artists will know this: sometimes you have great ideas, and do a lot of work, and it doesn’t get used. Alas. Back in the summer I worked with Kripalu’s Creative Director on a concept for Kripalu’s bi-annual magazine cover.

We created some great images, but then the focus of the feature article changed and the concept no longer matched. Kripalu never used the images, so I want to give them a little exposure here.

Ridiculous and Sublime: Life in an Inner-City Franciscan Monastery



The trailer is now complete for my in-progress still-image documentary film about the Little Brothers of Saint Francis in Boston (it begins on black so don't be worried).

portfolio rejects

I’m about to launch a new website with new and updated portfolios. Oh man, the process of selecting images to represent myself is quite challenging. I have to resist simply choosing the images that I love because portfolio images should also be technically sound and relate-able without context so that people consider hiring me for work.

I have finalized my selections and the new site will be up shortly. I thought I’d give a little tribute to the images that missed the cut...

photo slideshow/video for Kripalu Center

Watch the photo slideshow/video piece that I made for Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health. I took the majority of the photos and edited the photos and audio together.
