The documentary with the working title of Somarpho was shot last summer has cleared another hurdle. I now have Fiscal Sponsorship through IFP Seattle. With this Somarpho will be under IFP’s nonprofit umbrella and can solicit donations and gifts all with tax benefits to donors.
Somarpho shares with the world a look into the lives of Balti porters high in the mountains of Pakistan. It was shot and now needs your help to get to the screen. The Balti are wonderful warm people living in one of the most militaristically, politically and turbulently charged areas of the world.
It is all coming together quickly. Please stay tuned for details and feel free to contact me regarding Somarpho and how you can help get it to the screen.

As some of you may know I was hired to go to Pakistan last Summer to shoot a film about Vittorio Sella. Over the course of the last six months the Sella project has slowed and finally stalled.
Now, I am trying to get the footage I shot moving forward in order to make a film about the Balti people. The negatives have been in limbo at the lab and it is starting to itch my creative mind. This itch needs to be scratched!! You can see some of the still images from my trip at the post titled Pakistan: Mountains.
By giving you will help me to not only pay for the processing costs but the costs of transfer and editing. My needs are meager by comparison to some films but more than I can handle in the moment.
You will see the PayPal Donate button. Any amount in the tip jar will be appreciated.

Well, it looks like a short film I shot has been reviewed by New York Magazine. You can see the film and comment on it yourself by following this link.
We shot it on an HVX200 for the main body of the film and the beginning and end is shot on B&W Tri-X Super8. The shoots were spread all over Seattle and it was a fun time. It got me back to what I consider my roots and enjoyment of experimental cinema.
Enjoy the show.

The other night The Grates came through Seattle and I was fortunate enough to shoot this amazing three piece from Brisbane Australia.
When they aren’t eating their way across America or enjoying their guilty pleasure of watching local TV ads they are throwing down some great music. Here are just a couple shots that I took with more to come when my film gets processed.
As always I shot my F5 and Fuji Neopan 1600 rated to 3200. The venue was the Sunset Tavern which is not the best for lighting but is a fun place to see and hear some live music.
Stay tuned for more photos as well as other stuff related to cinematography and photography.
