Ironman California 70.3

Sports Photography

For the fourth year in a row I was covering the 70.3 Half Ironman California in Oceanside. Last year I was “assigned” to capture a location that was filled with road hazard cones but this year I was able to get back onto the old Pacific Highway adjacent to Camp Pendleton. The old road is getting a little more beat up as it is no longer maintained for civilian traffic – and unfortunately a lot of the age group competitors were a little less savvy about picking the smooth “trail” portion of the road and instead opted for the old pavement. The result was quite a few flat tires and in 3 cases it resulted in me doing the tire changes. Unfortunately on my last tire change of the day, the fellow’s CO2 canister blew up on me so I was not able to get any air in his tires, but I was happy to provide assistance to the other athletes who were having technical trouble.

La Jolla and Del Mar Wedding

San Diego Weddings

This La Jolla wedding just happened to occur during our only rain storm in the past 12 months. We knew coming in that there was a good chance of heavy rain so before the wedding even began I offered a “re-do” on the portrait session. And sure enough – during our first portrait session, the light rain turned into epic wind/rain. So with everyone up for the second shoot I was thrilled to be able to go back to Del Mar and spend an awesome hour long session getting some beautiful images to add to the existing collection.

Slow Motion Video Booth

San Diego Weddings, Video Production

A few years ago someone had the genius idea of offering a Slow Motion Video Booth as an alternative to your standard “Photo Booth”. At this point there are only a handful of people offering the service and I am pleased to say that I am now one of only 3 (I think…) companies in San Diego to provide this dynamic style of event booth.

The concept is to capture high-speed video footage of people dancing and goofing off – and then to provide real-time playback. The camera capture Full HD frames at a rate of 240 frames per second and then the camera feeds this directly into a TV/Monitor mounted near the booth. Since standard playback is only 24 frames per second the effect is a full 10x slow motion. Options for onsite printing, custom props and custom backdrops will be made available. After the event you will receive an edited video showing highlights of the day in a fun Music Video type format.

New Children’s Museum – FEAST

Video Production

The New Children’s Museum in San Diego is an amazing place for kids (and their parents) to explore and create art. Over a 3 week period from the middle of September to the first week of October the smuseum transformed from “Trash” to “Feast”. I place 6 cameras around the museum and tracked progress an artists worked to create their new exhibits. This 4 minute video is the result of over 250,000 images captured during the transition
