		<title>Kip Tiernan: A Legacy of Love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This video was produced for the annual &#8220;Funny Women, Serious Business&#8221; fundraising event for Rosie&#8217;s Place, a shelter for homeless women in Boston. This video is a tribute to Kip Tiernan, the founder of Rosie&#8217;s Place, who died earlier this year. She was an amazing woman and I was honored to have met her and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kiva Systems: Three Crate and Barrel Operators&#8217; Perspectives</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently completed a project for one of my clients, Kiva Systems, where we filmed at Crate + Barrel&#8217;s (one of their customers) distribution center outside San Francisco. The footage we shot over 3 days became 7 different videos that the Kiva sales and marketing teams can use for different purposes. This was one of [...]]]></description>

		<title>FanDuel Fantasy Football Championships</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was hired in December 2011 to create a highlights video for FanDuel&#8217;s second annual Fantasy Football Championship in Las Vegas. We had the challenge of creating an exciting wrap-up video from what basically amounted to a day of people watching football on tv. In the end I was happy with what we came up [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Repose&#8221; A Scene from &#8220;Seethrough&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My buddy Keith asked me to shoot a video of a recording session for his new album &#8220;Seethrough&#8221;. Keith is a charismatic, &#8220;interesting&#8221; fellow, and one of my favorite people to put a camera in front of so I couldn&#8217;t say no. We shot the entire recording in about 12 hours on this mostly &#8220;studio [...]]]></description>

		<title>Keeping up to date</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So remember (probably not) a few months ago when I blogged about wanting to keep more up-to-date on my blogging and what I&#8217;ve been up to?  Yeah, well it&#8217;s March 22 and this is my first blog post of 2012.  So much for that. In 2011 I only uploaded 5 videos to Vimeo.  Not that [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the road again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been pretty lucky this fall that I&#8217;ve stayed busy with a lot of shooting, but haven&#8217;t had too much travel beyond the Northeast.  I do enjoy, in theory (and usually in practice) the idea of traveling for work, but I often hate the hassle of airport travel with lots of gear, connecting flights, etc.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Honoring a Legend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently completed a project for Rosie&#8217;s Place, a homeless women&#8217;s shelter in Boston, for their annual &#8220;Funny Women, Serious Business&#8221; fundraising event.  This was the fourth video I had created for them (including this piece that I did last year).  Earlier this year, Kip Tiernan, the founder of Rosie&#8217;s Place, passed away, so they [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Big Ole Lens Test Party</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This all started because on a daily basis, it seems, my Twitter feed is chock full of discussions about how lens X is SO MUCH better than lens Y, etc, etc.  People talk about how much better a certain lens looks over another and I just don’t buy it.  I mean, I would guess that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Keeping Up With The Joneses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s been all quiet on the blogging front the last few months.  It’s not a big deal really, and I’m sure my loyal readers (hi, Mom!) have gotten over it.  But I just feel annoyed when I look at my site and see that I’ve posted nothing in the last few months.  When I started [...]]]></description>

		<title>And yet another&#8230; 48 Hours</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So if my memory serves correct, two weekends ago I shot my SEVENTH 48 Hour Film.  (For those unfamiliar with the quite popular, international filmmaking competition, the 48HFP gives filmmakers the opportunity to write, shoot, score and edit a 4-7 minute film in, you guessed it, 48 Hours.)  I actually get fairly preachy about how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lighting With What &#8216;Cha Got</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I&#8217;ve written about before, I like shooting interviews, and it&#8217;s sort of the mainstay of my work.  I know it&#8217;s odd, but I sometimes imagine the perfect interview setting, with the perfect wall colors, the perfect background props, the perfect lighting, the perfect audio, etc.  It&#8217;s weird, I know.  Someday I&#8217;ll reach this nirvana [...]]]></description>

		<title>NAB 2011 Recap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So when I got on the plane to return to Boston after several days in Vegas and at NAB, I had this sinking feeling that I had missed a lot of things and people that I wanted to see.  I&#8217;m not sure if it was mis-management of my time, my hurting back or the constant [...]]]></description>

		<title>Welcoming the AF-100</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I recently received my newest addition to my camera collection, the Panasonic AF-100.  There are countless sites and blogs that talk about this camera, so I will not go into lengthy details on what this camera does, etc.  Most of you that are reading this post probably know a fair bit about this camera [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Holidays</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s hard to believe it&#8217;s that time of year again, but alas, the holiday season is in full swing and the end of the year is coming quickly.  Both personally and professionally this has been a highly eventful year, certainly highlighted by the birth of our first child, Owen.  My wife, Kate, and I have [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Power of Words</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I feel like a lot of my blog posts recently (as well as many on other people&#8217;s blogs that I read) have been very gear oriented.  That&#8217;s not bad; I like to read about new gear, but I think all this talk about gear gets us further away from discussing and sharing WHAT we are [...]]]></description>
