Badfeet from war stories

On the 27th, the day after Thanksgiving, Badfeet played a house show at my friend Chad Cheverier's place. His house is this really cool funky place that feels stuck in the 70's. I decided to edit it and go for more of a film look that would bring it all together. Quite pleased with how they came out. Enjoy...

My family is awesome.....

At the end of August, my dad and two elder brothers took part in an Ironman. It is where you swim 2.5 miles, bike 110 miles and then run 26.2 miles.....in a row. All of this took place in Louisville, KY. It was one of my favorite family trips I have taken with my family in a long time. Were already looking into doing an Ironman again next summer in Sonoma County up north in California. Only difference.....I am joining them in their insanity!

Call and Valley Response

Last month, I did some more stuff for Valley Response. I was actually most thrilled with the way this issue came out. Had some good stuff come from it. Hope you enjoy :)

My first cover...

I recently did a shoot for OC Weekly. I ended up getting the cover shot for it. Pretty stoked! One of my goals was to get a cover shot with in 1 1/2 years of getting out of college....and to meet that goal in 1 year feels really good! I am excited to see where the next year takes me.....

Corey Says (re)LAX

About 2 months ago, Chad Cheverier and I went to LAX airport to take pictures of planes. I had so much fun that day! It is so fun to shoot something with no expectation on how the images come out but rather on just enjoying the time being spent with a friend. Chad....what is next? John Wayne or Bob Hope?????

Human(e) Testing

Wow, I have not made a valid update in such a long time! My bad! I have been pretty busy. A friend from Church shoots video for weddings. What makes it so unique is that he uses movie film and caters more so to the top of the market. His name is Paul Korver and he shoots weddings and events in either 8mm, 16mm, or 35mm. Recently, he has been teaching me how to use a Da Vinci color correcting machine which corrects the film while being scanned in through the Telecine. It is super rad. Makes me realize that all weddings should be shot on film. If nothing else, at least 8mm because of how awesome it looks. I am learning how to color correct so that I have a better understanding on how I will do my job as director of photography for a documentary that we are going to start filming probably sometime before the end of the year. The whole process has me so excited for what is to come!

Two weeks ago, Adam Rindy, Brion Hopkins and I all met up in Adam's loft and tested some light. We just wanted to have a good time messing around with gels, fog and what ever else we felt like. I see more so now how important it is to have fun days in photography. You need it or else you become so stuck in routine and forget to explore the world of photography and lighting. The pictures you see are some of the pictures from the day. It was a great day of shooting and just having fun.

Let me tell you about the birds and the...birds...

So remember how I did Joe and Laura Ruggeri's wedding back in May in NY? Well it turns out that they were submitting the images from the wedding to magazines and a nature magazine picked it up and featured a web exclusive of their wedding on the site. Thanks Joe and Laura for submitting for me :)
