Heading to Gila Bend, Arizona for two weeks!

I will be going back to Gila Bend, Arizona for two weeks at the beginning of December to do some filming and photography. I will also be building full size remote control Jeep Cherokee target vehicles for the F-16’s to perform practice targeting on. (see my earlier Tumblr post for some photo’s of my trip earlier this year)

I will be building out the electronics, radio control and setting up cameras in the vehicles. In addition, I will be setting up cameras on the desert dirt airfield where we will be driving the vehicles to capture all the action. These cameras will be feeding live video, via a two kilometer WiFi hop back to the hill where our base of operations will be located. The feeds will be recording to a DVR.

I will be posting photo’s and video to my Tumblr blog, Twitter and Facebook pages as much as possible, so stay tuned!

In the mean time, check out this short film that I edited for a trip I did back in January in Utah. This is what the cars will be doing in Arizona, except there will not be ground forces shooting at them! Only F-16’s targeting them with lasers and GBU-12’s.

Photo Shoot at the Dojo

Check out some behind the scenes and sample imagery from my latest photo shoot for students at The Dojo American Karate Centers. Click the image above to read more.

A few photo’s of the flooding on my street. We received almost 17” of rain! Surpassed all rainfall records. Our basement carpet got a bit soggy, and we moved all the furniture and electronics up to the main floor with the help of some great friends! The home theatre, being elevated, is still dry. Rain has stopped since dinner time, and I hope it stays this way to allow the lake and rivers around us to drop a bit!
