Yampans

This film comes from a trip down the Yampa River, July 5-10, 2010. This is really just the raw footage with some music on top. I won't really edit it until I get my hands on Final Cut and learn to use it.

I'm a painter now

The Shower Journal

For various reasons I've taken quite a break from this blog.

Something about moving to San Francisco and finding myself surrounded by artsy types...

wore me out.

But I'm over it.

Having just returned from a 5 day paddle down the Yampa River, I'm feeling recharged, inspired, and excited. I have some photos on the way, as well as my biggest film endeavor since I was 15, or maybe ever.

Unitl then -

Back in 2005 I bought a waterproof notepad with the intention of using it only when showering. It didn't work out. I found that I didn't feel like writing when showering. I much prefer bathing.

As of today I called it complete. Here are a few highlights from The Shower Journal.

this is basically two songs together. the first half is very repetitive. i was going for texture. if you get sick of it skip ahead to 2:15. enjoy the rain.

i'm not much of a musician, but i like to think i make an alright one man band. more of a sound arranger than a music player. i have my personal music philosophies but i won't bore you with that now. tomorrow maybe.
