The Langham Hotel (330 North Wabash Avenue , Chicago, IL) was my home for a 24 hour period recently. I was on-site to edit 36 short videos in about 12 hours time, and to deliver them all by 7am the next morning. While, on paper, it was a pretty easy job – it turned out to […]

Expanded Storage on MacBook Pro

The only downside to the Apple Laptops is that these days expanding the storage beyond what is already inside can be impossible or prohibitively expensive. But not anymore.

Today I’m working with a group of friends (it’s always great working with a crew you know – and this one is the A-Team) on a B-Roll package for Macy’s National Believe Day. It’s always fun coming to the city now and then, even with the traffic getting here.  It’s pretty nice being in the […]

This year more than any other year in the past I really liked all of the kids costumes, and they were all very excited about wearing them. We had a Princess (she was just dressed as herself), a cowboy and Iron Man. We were heading out to a Halloween party and before they trashed what […]
