So a few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of working behind the scenes during one of Set Apart Photography‘s photo shoots with up and coming musician Trevor Forsman. The “theme” of the shoot was a provocative look into the different temptations we are faced with while searching for our own identity. Trevor’s new album “Identify Me” will be out in early 2012. Take a look at our BTS video and let us know what you think!

A few weeks ago, we had the privilege of filming the Matisyahu concert in Tempe. Here are a couple songs from the show. Enjoy!
At about 6:55pm on July 5th, I got a phone call from my buddy Dano who was panting, trying to find his breath while wind howled across the other line. He was scrambling to a get to a high vantage point on South Mountain to get a shot of the oncoming dust storm, also called a “haboob,” that he had predicted about 2 hours earlier. The excitement and nervousness in his tone made me rush to find my camera and jump into the my truck as fast as humanly possible. Knowing I was short on time before the cell hit the valley, I rushed to the nearest little hill I knew of, Sun Ray park in Ahwatukee. It was only minutes after I began shooting that I was totally engulfed by the monstrous dust cloud and found myself in the middle an apocalyptic whirlwind, the likes of which I have never experienced (even in my 14 years living in Arizona). Here is the timelapse shot I was able to capture along with some pretty intense cell phone footage during the moment of impact. It took me about 15 minutes to carefully walk down the side of the mountain and find my truck (which was only parked a couple hundred yards away) relying on my cell phone as a flashlight.
Here’s a photo of the toll it took on my camera, even though I immediately got it into my camera bag after the shot. After a little bit of cleaning up, it’s still working beautifully.

Check out this fun little edit of GoPro clips from the Gymkhana GRID event.
We will be heading out to Irwindale Speedway in California December 4th for the Gymkhana GRID Invitational with Discount Tire! Once again, I will primarily be in charge of getting POV shots with our tried and true GoPro HD cameras. My goal is to come up with some new and creative angles out on the course and on/in car that maybe haven’t been tried yet. Pretty stoked!

As many of you know, I’ve been working part-time for ASU’s Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, doing in-house videography, photography, and editing for their marketing and public affairs office. This is mainly because I needed steady but flexible work while finishing my last couple semesters of classes. Most of the projects I’ve been working on haven’t really been relevant to Krazywake but I thought I’d share a couple just to let you know I’m still alive and kicking.
