Re:Inspired

I remember the first time I met Philip Bloom... I had no idea who he was and had no idea I would soon purchase a 5d. Before I heard him speak and show his work at Re:Frame Austin, I saw him constantly running around with a camera. At that time I was relatively new to the industry and what stood out the most to me is that he was one of the only ones who always had a camera in his hand. Yes, of course, his work inspired me but his passion for what he does inspired me even more.

I had always used the Canon XHA1 and found it was too bulky to carry around for fun but that all changed with the 5d... I took it everywhere and still do. I love seeing beautiful pieces that are done out of the blue. Filming something that is not planned and just for fun, because you love what you do, is what it's all about.

Now, let me get to my point... We just came back from Vegas and while I was there I tweeted about how dirty the window was and how I wanted to do a timelapse. Rob Parker wrote me back and sent me a link to a very nice piece and guess what I love most about it? He did it spur of the moment. Thanks for sharing this with me Rob :)
