My mind is traveling though time. Past, present, future intertwined. Foolish lips speak from an honest place in my heart; the windows to my soul bare the fruitful life I have in mind.
Pensive mood…to be continued.

About Episode 1 (Series Introduction)
When I take a moment to observe my surroundings, I become exposed to array of wonders. Life moves relatively fast in the big apple, so I decided to shoot this particular episode slow and steady, capturing the simplicity and beauty I see in everything. This video contains two years of documentation and transitions over various locations, landscapes, and experiences that occur during the day and night.

What Makes You Differenter? (CAMPAIGN)
28 FebJWT | Differenter: Black History Makers
Short Documentary, Video Signatures
LINK: http://double7images.com/portfolio/blackhistorymakers
“JWT’s Differenter partnered with D7I to deliver a media campaign spotlighting current Black History Makers in NYC. With enough content to sculpt a 2-hour piece, we found a way to pare it down to a compelling short documentary that provides a glimpse into the worlds of the everyday change-agents you pass in the street, without ever knowing the brilliance in your midst.
Interviews include Dr. Una Clarke, Ryan C. Mack, Majora Carter, Tamekia Flowers-Holland & Tanisha Tate, and Jacques-Philippe Piverger.
Watch the video signatures to get a taste of who they are…then dive in to the short documentary to learn what they’ve accomplished. If YOU happen to know any Modern History Makers that we should be aware of, drop by our Facebook Page and point us in the right direction!”

“TAG = YOU’RE IT”
13 AprHot off the press! POST, WATCH, BLOG, SHARE this new video.
Check out one of my most recent short films. Introducing members of Team Kinetic, “TAG = YOU’RE IT” uses the concrete jungle (NYC) as a playground; blending strong architectural patterns, and shapes, with free running and Parkour techniques. The simple game of handball and tag is implemented as an overall theme to highlight individual strengths, humor, and competitiveness.
