Valencia - New Music Video

I was the Director of Photography on a quick bang em up music video gig in Philly about two months ago. My friend Chris called me today to tell me he saw the video on the front page of Myspace. It already has 100,000 views. Craziness.

The Fray Update - Thursday

Whilst taking breaks from hours of editing, K Michael Esquire and I, L. R. Blackhurst the IV, like to play rounds of golf in the Office Professional Players Golf Association (OPPGA). Our course of choice is the Brickyard Open and so far I've won two season championships.

Back to editing. Film done any day now.

The Fray Update - Friday

1. Tomorrow, Saturday, the 15th, go to your local Barnes and Noble and pick up a copy of Billboard the magazine. There will be an article in there about the Fray with two of my photographs. I just saw this article online, perhaps its the same text, just with new photographs!

Billboard - Exclusive The Fray Debuting Single On ABC

2. Next Friday, the 21st, the viral video I directed for The Fray's new single, You Found Me, will premiere online first at the band's official website, and then at Amazon.com, and possibly iTunes. This will be the first listen anyone will have of the new single which is pretty awesome. This viral video is also a theatrical trailer of sorts for the documentary we're currently in post production on about the band. In case you missed my last post, the film has an official title, 'Fair Fight', and will be released with the album in February!

So excited.....

Too Young to Keep Good Love From Going Wrong

Yes We Can

I cried last night as I watched Obama speak. I've never been more proud, in my 28 years on this planet, to be an American.

*************

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time - to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth - that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we cant, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:

Yes We Can.
