About a month ago I photographed the Drexel University Gospel Choir‘s 34th Anniversary Celebration. The event reminded me of one reason I like photojournalism: I get to experience a lot of events and other things that I would not otherwise experience in my computer lab-centric life. Plus, now I have a ton of photos of [...]

This week, my friends’ band Catnaps will be featured in Philadelphia’s City Paper. They needed some updated photos, so we had a photo shoot! Check out Catnaps on Bandcamp.

One of the things that has kept me preoccupied this year is being the Vice-President and Secretary for the Drexel ACM SIGGRAPH Student Chapter. We plan weekly events, usually student-led teaching sessions, and in general keep the Drexel Digital Media community close-knit.

I put together a rough cut of the footage in order to get a sense of the entire project: The desaturation effect is not literally how the colors of the [...]

Yesterday morning, I headed down to Old City to shoot the footage for my compositing project. I borrowed my friend James Graves‘s Canon 7D to shoot the footage, and I borrowed my friend Kevin Gross‘s acting skillz to be in the footage. Thanks to James for coming along to help me figure out the video settings [...]
