When one of the top drummers in the world needed some motion graphics to kick off his DVD “Blast Beats Evolved,” Derek Roddy called me to see if we could make it happen. This was a great opportunity to partner with Derek and the best instructional music publishing company in the world “Hudson Music” in New York.

A short profile on “The PitMaster” Ted Huffman/Bluffton BBQ. Produced for ETV’s broadcast series “The Big Picture.” I shot this on the Canon 7d using the 16-35 f2.8 and the 70-200 f2.8. Lots of great opportunities to use the “slider.” And yes, the BBQ is awesome! My thanks to Ted and Donna.

Recently I had an opportunity to shoot the “Beaufort Memorial Cycling Classic.” Normally I would gear up and head off to the race alone, but I invited a friend of mine that recently began focusing on his photography skills. After we enjoyed an excellent meal at Panini’s we headed out to get some great images of the event.

Toward the end of the race, we wound up shooting from the same location. After every shot we would show each other what we captured, talking about what worked and what didn’t. We compared notes about how the street lamps gave a beautiful fill light on one of the turns, and I watched him get some creative slow-shutter images that never occurred to me. Once again I was reminded about the value of “collaboration.” It’s very rewarding to share what we know, and to gain inspiration from others.
