Softies Jump Jam Part 3
Softies Jam edit and the final part to my photo series is live!
Intro to Vlogging
Starting a little adventure into Vlogging! If you can bear with me through the roughness then I invite you to follow along on this journey!
Equestrian Life
Recently I had the opportunity to venture into the equestrian world and capture what it means to be an athlete in the sport. Truth be told there is a lot more behind it than simply throwing a saddle on and riding off into the sunset. The athletes put in immense amounts of work everyday to prepare for daily rides and monthly competitions alike. The following images and short film were the result of several days of filming and shooting on location in beautiful northern Michigan.
There is a lot more to being an athlete in the sport of equestrian then just getting on the horse and riding. We follow a rider in her daily pre-ride routine to find out all that goes into a ride. Special thanks to Monica Stanke Music: Acoustic Breeze - Bensound.com
Back to Michigan Part II: Fun in the Snow
As much as I miss the Florida sun I have to admit that I'm enjoying being back in the north again. The first thing I did when I stepped off that plane was to take a deep breathe of the crisp, cold, northern air.
Shortly after arriving home I had scheduled a photo shoot on the ice of Lake Michigan not realizing that the Aurora Borealis also known as the Northern Lights. Just as neared the end they started to appear leading to an amazing light show like I've never seen and ultimately an amazing image. Thank's to Gelli Javellana for modeling in the freezing cold weather a little longer than planned.
On second note I also managed to spare some time from tax season to take a trip even further north; crossing the Mackinac Bridge and into Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Waking up one morning to several inches of fresh snow to play in, we adventured through snow covered forests and along the icy Lake Superior on snowmobiles.
Spent a couple days adventuring on a snowmobile around Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Captured using a GoPro Hero4 Black Music: Deadmau5- Some Chords (Original Mix)
Back to Michigan Part I: Flyday
Yep that's right, I'm back in the frigid north. Most will say I was crazy for leaving Florida but the heat was starting to become a little too intense for me. And to be honest I'm actually enjoying the cold weather but more on that later in Part II. On one of my last days I got to go for an early morning sightseeing flight over to the Gulf Coast. Least to say it was an incredible experience, one that just added to an incredible time in Florida. This was one trip I won't forget anytime soon. In addition to the video of our flight, I included some images from my time down there that lean more to the fine art side of photography.
On one of my last days in Florida this winter I got to experience what Florida looks like from the sky. From watching the sun rise to buzzing over island homes on the Gulf Coast there was a lot to see. Thanks to those who made this flight possible.
