This is one of my favorites of all of my old photos. This one was taken after an ice storm where the entire area was coated with inches of ice. Then the sun came out. I captured it with my old point and shoot.
nostalgia
This was an old abandoned and collapsed house that had been overgrown with weeds and vines. this photo is about as old as they come for me.
A long time ago there was this thing used in photography, called film. As a youngun I was fascinated with photography and taking pictures and developed my own stuff and honed my skills in composition and design and layout and all sorts of that stuff.
The next few are some of my earliest photos and to me are important in my career and my development. I won’t package these together, I will do these individually for better viewing.
This was an all american shot, a boy and a stone wall. this is what youth is all about.
The Other Half of Me
A long time ago, I took a semi-autobiographical screenplay that I had written and set out to make the movie that would break me through to the other side and burst my career into Hollywood and into the skies. Unfortunately that didn’t happen. I didn’t know a damn thing about filmmaking at that point, but I did know a shit load about how drama worked.
Today while cleaning out some boxes in the garage I came across a notebook filled with all sorts of notes from the making of that first movie and these STORYBOARD ideas that helped me throughout the process. These are some of the better ones I grabbed to post here. Sure, it’s nostalgia and it’s me in my youth, not knowing what the fuck I am doing.
Here are some storyboards from my famous first and lost film “The Other Half of Me”… not nearly as lost as “The Revenant” … you won’t find ANYTHING from that. lol. Other Half at least played in some festivals and had some good controversy around it.
