Last month I headed to London for a week to produce and direct a web series for PUMA. The three part web series is about a top ranked youth soccer team that won a chance to go train with the Tottenham Hot Spurs, a premier league team from the UK.

The web series follow the young players as they arrive at the Tottenham training and go through various coaching sessions with THFC coaches. We also shoot the boys sight seeing and going to the Tottenham vs. Chelsea match. Other highlights include shooting interviews with Peter Crouch and Clive Allen and having great access to all of THFC.

I have to admit before this trip I was not the biggest soccer… err futbol… fan but this trip and experience have given me a new respect and interest in the sport. I now have a favorite futball team, the Tottenham Hot Spurs!

This past december I started working on a really great on-going web series for PBS’s Art 21. Art 21 is best known for their long running broadcast show of the same name. This web series takes a bit of a detour from the typical show in both content and style.

New York Up Close, the title of the web series, features young and upcoming artist in NYC. The shooting style also takes a departure from the show by utilizing all HDSLRs.

So far the shoots have ranges from studios in Bushwick to galleries in Chelsea to non-profit spaces in both Lower Manhattan and the Bronx. What’s also ironic is the fact this is my first on-going project in NYC. I tend to travel so much for work its been really refreshing getting to know different parts of my city.

I wrapped up production on the Smirnoff NighLife Exchange project this past weekend with a final shoot in Toronto. Keep an eye on www.smirnoff.com for upcoming webisode. An hour special will also be broadcasting in various countries across the globe later this year.

On a completely different note, a while ago my friends and I started a motorcycle blog called www.ChinontheTank.com. With the winter fast approaching I’ve been trying to get in some riding. I also have some motorcycle and camping photos I hope to get up on my blog soon!

I’ve been traveling like crazy the last few weeks.  First up was a short shoot in Toronto for the Smirnoff Night Life Exchange project… followed by less then 36 hours in NYC before heading to Argentina!

I spent all of last week shooting in Buenos Aires for the same project!  What a beautiful city!  I was really excited to go to Argentina, I’m really fascinated with South America but the only other country I have been to there is Colombia.  Spending a week in BA was almost a tease, it just made me want to take off for Patagonia!

I was lucky enough to end up with a little free time in Buenos Aires and shot a handful of photos, keep an eye on my blog for a small update!
