Well, it's not a gloom and doom today. Sure I missed my self-imposed Monday deadline, but I'm totally fine with it considering I was on a shoot and actually working behind a camera. Not going to lie: it's been a minute.
A group from London reached out early last week looking for a DP for an upcoming shoot in Oklahoma. We ended up filming an incredibly heavy interview yesterday under some trees in a disc golf course. No clue how Mongoose Pictures found me, but I'm glad they did. Not exactly sure when the project I got to work on will be released, but surely I'll post about it when it does. No screen grabs or BTS stills from the day, so it up and look at the weeds (sunflowers?) I shot on the side of the highway heading to the shoot. By all means I hope to work with them and director Josh Baker again down the road.
Thankfully too I've had some additional work come in. I'd mentioned some potential projects last week and a couple others have popped up since then. We've also finally landed on a closing date on the house we're looking to buy, so hopefully that'll add some much needed stability in this time of widespread dumpster fires.
Here's a few hot takes from the last week:
- "As we slouch into Month 7 of the pandemic, the mental health impact on parents remains significant and shows no signs of abating." - The Pandemic Is a ‘Mental Health Crisis’ for Parents, nytimes.com
- Please tell me you've seen the Dune trailer.
- Oh, and the masterpiece below from Vogue. DP'd by Chayse Irvin and captured by a whole slew in the camera dept.
