I spent the past week in Manhattan. I had some time set aside to explore and play with some more landscapes. I've got a few in the works but they can take days to process one out and see if I even like it. Please bear with me while I work through them.

I would like to share with you this time lapse I shot on the first day of our trip when the wind was kicking through the city. I shot this right from the hotel room. Since it was only a test I didn't shoot for very long and now I'm kicking my self for not looking for additional angles through out the day.

I am also teaching myself Adobe After Effects. That's how I got the zoom to happen over time. It's almost impossible to do it in camera unless you've got a super crazy rig and I don't.

My new obsession is rock climbing.  I picked up a membership back in February for Vertical Endeavors over in St. Paul and I've been mainly climbing with my friends Zack and Liz.  Zack enjoys video taping tons of stuff and me bouldering is one of them.

My Minnesota RollerGirls are some of the craziest and most creative people on this planet and every year we put together a short video for our Wheelie awards.  While the Wheelies are not open to the public we do share the video every year with the world.  So, I proudly present Roller Derby!

I did this time-lapse video of one of the Minnesota RollerGirls bouts this past season and I just wanted to share it with the world again.  It's just so damn pretty.  I want to give some props to my friend Luke Harper at Audio Altimeter for all the help with the music.  We've got a couple more in mind that we would like to do in the future.
