Day 31- Coffee & Campfires

This morning finds us at the beautiful and hip Little Tart Bakeshop. With only a few days left till we’re back home, we wanted to spend some time catching up on work. I felt right at home here, with everyone around me on their laptops typing away and discussing upcoming projects that they’ve got. This creative community got me excited and anxious…

Day 30- ATL

There was a pep to our step on this morning. As we loaded up our bikes through the very convenient door into the garage, we discussed how awesome this museum is going to be. It opens up at 12pm so we’ve got some time to load up our bikes with no rush and grab some breakfast before heading there. We…

Day 29- Sweet Home Alabama

This morning started just like any other morning of this trip has: load up the bikes, do last looks to make sure we didn’t leave anything behind and gear up to head out. The sun was beaming down hard and it looked to be a rain free day. As we left New Orleans, we got to see just how much water…

Day 28- Beignets & Rain

First thing I noticed as soon as I woke up is that it was still raining, hard. The goal for today is to shoot Austin & Julian working out together somewhere in the city but with it pouring out, our options are very limited. It’s got me a bit bummed however first things first, food. Today’s morning mission was to…

A humid air lingers outside and although the AC keeps the living room cool, you can already feel the humidity creeping into the kitchen. We make some oatmeal, coffee and get some work done in the morning. The plan for today is to meet with my friends…

Day 26- Push for NOLA

The day begins with the sound of the Uhaul truck backing onto the front lawn, ramp being pulled out and bikes unloaded by Marco. He clears out the Uhaul truck with all of our gear with the exception of what belonged to Bruno and extra gear that we wanted to send back, for today was the day that we parted…

Off the Deep End

As I stood over darkness, I lifted my gaze up into the stars and saw more than I could’ve ever imagined. What started with trembling then became confident, broad breaths taken in with the Canyon air. As my eyes exposed themselves to what I was actually seeing, a creeping fear lingered, reminding me that below the ledge that I was…

A Fine Line

My job as a cinematographer is to stay true to whatever story I’m telling and making sure that my presence goes unnoticed, unless of course there’s a specific reason for it. Normally that’s a fairly easy thing to do; you take an objective approach when your shooting and you don’t interfere with what’s going on in front of camera. Simple.…

I Bought A Sword

When we were doing prep for the trip, I thought about bringing one of my swords, for protection of course. My personal favorite is my two-handed Lord of the Rings replica, Anduril, which is Aragorns sword in the films. Obviously space is limited on the bikes and only things that are absolutely necessary could come with us, so I sadly…
