Inner Worlds – Convent Art Show!

Last Friday we had an art show at the Convent! As a whole, we transformed our 1920′s Convent into an art piece in it’s self using all 4 floors as a different state of consciousness. The basement being the dream like state, the first floor (my floor) was the state of consciousness which all the photographers displayed their work throughout the hallways. The second floor was the “alter ego” and the hallways were filled of paintings and this crazy alter at the end. The rooftop was some space theme. The trampoline had lights that changed as you bounced, I think that says enough. The dining room was “Edible Orachatra” thanks to the brilliant techies in the house and the Chapel was turned into a forest! The confessional booth was transformed into a hickey booth by my roommate Sarah and I displayed erotic photos in there but they might a little too much for the internet to post here.

I wish I would have captured the night but sadly I didn’t. I was too busy entertaining the 300+ people there as well as partying with my roommates in a celebration of a successful art show we worked all week preparing the house for. Luckily, Quincy did! Here is her blog The Q Snap with some photos from the night.

I displayed a various amount of music photos outside my room as well as in my room. Below are some of the new photos I used for the art show!

fashion blogger Elise Armitage – a day in the life!

San Francisco’s fashion and lifestyle blogger Elise Armitage (also my childhood best friend!) and I went shooting in her neighborhood, the Mission, on a sunny (always) Saturday. Elise’s blog is called WTFab and it’s great! I love shooting photos and videos with Elise she is so photogenic and naturally great in front of the camera.

This video was for Manitic, a European fashion designer and an excuse for Elise and I to go shoot around! Photos and Video below!

Double Exposure

When I was a kid my dad gave me his Canon AE-1 and taught me how to shoot double exposures. There is a certain kind of art to double exposing the film and knowing how to properly expose and manipulate both of the images to get what you want. I’m grateful for this because my father taught me how to really understand cameras this way. I can pick up any camera, film or digital, stills or motion, and be able to figure it out. Cameras work all the same and Sutter Street-Eliseexpose all the same. My dad didn’t just pass down his Canon but his eye and love for it and it made me who I am.

Muralist Henry Lipkis!

Henry Lipkis is an incredible muralist. This is one of those things where I’m just going to let the work speak for itself. Also, one of my favorite videos I have ever cut!

My good friend and former roommate Ashley Arabian did a piece on Henry for You, Me, & Charlie featuring this video! Here is the link:

Henry is my good friend and roommate as well. Which means we get to make cool videos like this one all the time! This video is a time-lapse of a mural Henry painted in one day. Our friend Chanel shot it using a GoPro for the time-lapse and Canon 7D. We used the Coo Coo Birds “I Gotta Go Now” for the song. By the way we also live with the Coo Coo Birds.

Matt’s “Thuggish Rubbish Bone”

I want to share this video I shot and cut over a year ago. Matt Lieb is one of the funniest guys I have ever met. He is a comedian and has quite the name for himself in San Francisco now. We used to live together in this old victorian we call the “Haight House.” This music video was shot on my stair case. The light comes in beautifully and I don’t know if you’ve ever been in an old victorian, but the best acoustics are always in the entrance stair cases.

Matt covers Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. As in covers all the members. Check it out!
