Keeping busy

Just a little update on what I’ve been up to since launching this blog, for my single TWO readers out there (hi Heather & Mom!)

I’m currently shooting photos for an upcoming book, “The History of Beer in Charleston” which is being authored by my beer buddy Timmons. We’ve been out shooting at Westbrook Brewery, COAST Brewery, Palmetto Brewery, Charleston Beer Exchange and Holy City Brewery. I’m excited by this project which has been a lot of fun – it’s great to see the craft beer culture growing like crazy in this area.

I’ve also been shooting video for Westbrook Brewing Company that will be featured in their brand spanking new tasting room, with another edit being used online. As seen in the photo above, I’m using my trusty ol’ Canon 5D Mark II, which shoots amazing 1080p HD video at 24fps. For audio I went ahead and picked up a Zoom H4N, and for some additional lighting I grabbed some new LED lights, which will work well for the video interviews. Bonus points for not melting the face off of Edward and Smith!

Additionally, I’ve been building a e-commerce site for the newly opened Coastal Coffee Roasters, as well as shooting photos at their new location and planning a video as well. Another new website for the Center for Complex Operations in DC, a two-week work assignment in Stuttgart, Germany, as well as other stuff at my full-time job, and some days I don’t know if I’m coming or going.

All-in-all it’s good to be keeping busy…
