dancin' in the dark.

aaron green is a homie from charelston, you might recognize him from the pushin' to raleigh clip. he recently had a part in blue tile skateshop's newest video "hate your friends." the guys at cskate posted an entertaining re-edit to aaron's part with some new footage and some familiar faces.

a new york slice.

new york slice.

the trip to new york ended with an all nighter in laguardia with minimal amounts of sleep in uncomfortable positions throughout airplanes and airports. zach got his painting portfolio on the interweb and he'll soon be having shows in the new york area (one can only hope!). here is a photo log from the trip as well. thanks to matt and brenna for the southern hospitality up north.

Local buzz.

Brian McDonald is back!

After handling a new work load with wifey, and a baby human he's back in action shooting with all the cats in Chattanooga. He's started up a blog that he's been up keeping daily. Bookmark and check it frequently. Looks like some good times.

spring flowers.

I recently received an email from a fellow Chatt filmer by the name of Alex Rose. It had a nice video from his spring break with Jim Arnold, Jay McDonald, and Nick Guertin. Maybe when Rose decides it's time to graduate to a real camera, the montages will be even better.

Recently, I took a nice break from la la land and drove out to Phoenix to hang out with the ol' buddies Randy Ploesser and Marty Murawski. I had a hell of a time hanging out with those two. If you guys haven't already checked out Marty's edit for Matix Monday's be sure and get to it! It's a good laugh for sure.

if you guys haven't made that daily stop at the mag's website, click and watch Jeremy Holmes' Mag Minute!

Jeremy has always killed it, and hasn't stopped. Even after settling into a domestic life with a wife and kid he's still manages to get a proper minute, and he still has more to be seen! best dude ever.

Pushin' to Raleigh
