About ten minutes later I turned around and went back and asked how much to drive through. I think he said twenty five dollars, I replied I only have twenty two, he put… View the Video
A truly mystical and magical presentation by Rob Thomas. This is another one of those I happened to show up and had my camera moments, and got the moment recorded. Rob Thomas music can be found on Inlakesh Records.We talked for a few moments. He mentioned how he and some other players go out into the New Mexico canyons and play music.

An observatory near here had a model rocket launch I happen to find out about. I used to build and launch model rockets when I was very young, thanks to my fifth grade teacher.

I hope you enjoy it.

A cover by Dakota of the classic song by Deep Purple.What is interesting to me is the way the bass fills out the bottom as it begins to play,and then as the camera moves across the crowd the audio phasing that takes place.One of those, you had to be there, moments.
I decided I wanted to do something like Stanley Kubrick about the time my mom died in 2017. 2001: A Space Odyssey was on my mind at the time and Strauss's music came into the public domain shortly after I get it in my head to finally do a feature film.This was shot entirely with a Motorola G cellphone.It has a quirky focus issue during this video.The clouds really are fun to watch as this plays out.This is 90 minutes… View the Video

A local rock band from the 1970s returned for a high school reunion and since I know a few of the guys in the band I asked to produce a concert video.They said yes and allowed me into a warm-up practice session, and then I hired another camera person.
