Sydney Vacation 2018

We’re back! Leslie and I jumped on a short 17 hour flight to Sydney to spend the week with our average looking, amazing friend Nico. Please enjoy some videos and pictures of sites, coffee (I drink coffee now), cocktails, and good times!

MELBOURNE & DELETED SCENES

THANKS TO NICO

Nico, thank you for the hospitality, for hosting us, and for allowing me to teach you everything I know about culture and life. We’ve seen the world together looking forward to our next trip [to Tokyo].

The Lost Crabicurious Production

Coming out of retirement for one final Crabicurious Production. Found some old footage in the can from the days before our move when Mom, Dad, Jenn, and Jason came to visit. A great final visit from the fam. Miss you all!

A Crabicurious Conclusion

Today is my last day living in Baltimore so I'm looking back.

A little over two years ago, I actually had a real life cheesy lame dream. I wanted to be a filmmaker (I can practically hear Ben's eyes rolling out of his head, but its true!) I had no gear, talent, vision, nor did I have a compelling story. But I had the internet, a subject to shoot, and a setting to explore. I'd set out to create something that I could look back on and be transported to this time in my life, to these friends, to these moments, and of course to these cocktails. 

I started by copying whatever inspired me, learning videography and editing skills along the way while a circle of enablers cheered me on. I'd say "Let's recreate scenes from HBO's The Young Pope. Let's do our version of Chef's Table, Let's actually film a parody episode of The Great British Baking Show." and we would. From iMovie to Final Cut to Premier Pro, from a a6000 to an A7ii to an A6500, and from 10 hour projects to 20 hour projects to 30 hour projects, Leslie and I were have the time of our life! With a drive to "get some shots" we pushed ourselves to try new things and see new places (Iceland, Boston, Hawaii, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and D.C and more)

And one day I realized I was actually doing it, entering photo contests,  splicing a few videos together that had some type of work application, shooting my first wedding, and finally finishing my life's work, a documentary I've been working on for 8 solid months (SEE BELOW). Every single moment was a thrill and I am thankful to have been able to experience it all with Leslie. 

Thank you for indulging me. I hope you enjoyed it at least a little.
