Escape To Thailand

-
Image
Every year many foreigners come to Thailand looking for a better life or reprieve from some form of oppression their current country imposes. Some come looking for new opportunities, some look for love, and others come for healing. I'm attempting to find the trifecta with an emphasis on the latter. It's the American healthcare system and over inflated cost of living that's oppressing me into a state of poverty without affordable treatment options for my health disorders. By luck or fate, I've managed to meet a few amazing people that live in Thailand whom I plan to create videos and memories with during my visit. I'll also be documenting a few of the medical procedures I'm having/looking into while here to see if I can improve my health and mitigate pain.  Escape for new beginnings āœØļø  Getting to Thailand was brutal, but arriving in Thailand I've never felt so warm and welcomed! (Not only because of the Bangkok heat šŸ˜œ). It began on Sunday Dec. ...

Bangkok Movie Awards 2024

Image
I'm honored to announce my films Devious Demon and A Cold Day In Hell: Director's Cut were accepted into the Bangkok Movie Awards ! I'm very grateful  to share these creations to an international audience, truly a welcoming gift for my first visit to Thailand! I hope these films entertain and inspire other aspiring storytellers, to display what's possible on a low budget, limited cast/crew, or with consumer electronics that you already own or can find 2nd hand! Devious Demon was MOSTLY shot with a Samsung Note 10+ cell phone. Other cameras used included Insta360 Ace Pro 2, Sony x3000, and Sony RX10iii. Audio captured with Instamic Pro. A Cold Day In Hell was my feature film debut, which began as a student film while in community college. All the actors and crew involved were volunteers from Nebraska/South Dakota that dedicated many weekends creating the 1st ever zombie film in Nebraska! Mostly shot on a Canon 5Dmii, Sony a65, and Canon T3.

Samsung NX500 Mirrorless Camera Updates

-
Image
 Samsung NX500 Firmware Updates in 2025 It's been nearly 10 years since Samsung released their last APS-C sensor camera, the NX500. It was the "little brother" of the Samsung NX1, Samsung's flagship camera released in 2014. It was a very capable camera that was ahead of it's time, and still captures amazing images and video quality that competes with modern day cameras still to this day! The caveat is that Samsung stopped supporting their software, and a few of the conveniences/apps are no longer available on some Android phones. Thankfully it's still easy to update the firmware manually by downloading the len's .bin file onto a SD card and then inserting it into the camera. Then you can go to your menu settings, find device information, and then firmware update. The same applies for the firmware update for your camera body (latest is v1.12). I think these firmware updates ended in 2017. Use the article on dpreview to download the firmware updates you nee...

Kodak Retina iiic - 1st Time Use I received my first few images back from Memphis Photo Lab. They developed and scanned my images, but only 6 of them were emailed to me. I will try to find out what happened to the rest of the roll when I receive my negatives. Below are the few that turned out well! All captured on the Kodak iiic with it's stock 50mm f/2 Schneider-Kreuznach Retina-Xenon lens on AGFA Vista 400 film! f/16 1/125 f/4 1/125 f/11 1/250 As I stated above, I shot more photos on different days/occasions on the same roll so I'm not sure what happened with the rest of the frames. I will email and ask soon as well as check my negatives when they return. Also, the first developed image seemed to have a weird light leak, or I'm wondering if I didn't wind the film enough when I first loaded into camera. If you know what happened please let me know! Video Coming Soon! Photography

  A Zombie Movie Made in Nebraska?! I've been revisiting a few locations of Nebraska's 1st zombie movie, " A Cold Day In Hell ". A few scenes were captured in a small Danish-migrant town call Dannebrog, where my great-grandparent's first settled! It has a very nice bike trail that circles the town, along with a grocery store, bar, and "The Danish Baker" where they serve the state's best pizza on Thursdays!  Below is a video highlighting the trail and where these scenes were created!  A scene from "Corn-Fed Zombies: A Cold Day In Hell" shot at Dannebrog's Oak Creek Park.
