Great time putting this costume together. The base design of the head took about 14 hours. Putting it all together with dials, paints, hard hat, etc was about a week of work. This includes the Great Knife too which I plan to remake with actual wood in the future. Hope you all had a great Halloween!

I've recently went on a trip to South Lake Tahoe with some friends. I posted the images on my blog. Check it out!

I've been playing with Red Giant's Knoll Light Factory presets to create amazing lens flares. The lens flares that come stock are very cinematic and work well in many situations. I highly recommend checking them out. I probably have been using them for every recent edit. They also have it available for film makers, too. If you decide to play with them, let me know what you think!

Wood Works | Kong

My friend Kong found a boozka branch while exploring South Lake Tahoe and posed with it. Got a photo of him and didn't think much of it. When I got home I imported it into Lightroom and it looked too cool to not giving it the epic edit. Using Photoshop and Lightroom this is what I came up with. I hope you all get a good laugh out of it!

Did a quick session with Low today. Such a humble, talented and creative person. Always a pleasure working with you. Stay tuned for the others. They'll most likely end up on my website blog!

Quick question, was thinking about doing a tutorial for this lighting setup and edit. What do you think?

Hello creatives! This video hits home and is a constant reminder about the repercussions of working for free and when you should; if ever. Ted Forbes addresses the controversial topic of working probono. He has some really great points and I advise any creative (especially photographers) to watch this.
