Here are some of the images I took from my two hour flight today at Mount Woodside. It was a great little flight. Mainly ridge soaring. The highlights were playing in the clouds, watching a family of eagles fly around, flying around with them, seeing two eagles grab their talons and tumble together, and meeting [...]
[facebook] [retweet] With the year coming to an end I decided to make a clean break from some footage, so before archiving it into oblivion, I wanted to make a video out of the footage I have yet to use. The first video is from this year’s Flytec race in Florida, and the second one [...]
Soundscapes by Ace Norton It gets going about a minute into this, worth a watch/listen – takes ham boning to a new level Okay, now here’s some ham boning . . . Most overused line in Cinema: “You look like shit” Good advice: I love hang gliding – if you press play it skips to [...]

This is a very short promotional piece for hang gliding I wanted to do. It’s just something very simple that I thought might stir some interest in people. I used old footage from when I was making my Nikon Festival Contest video and color corrected in an interesting way to me using Magic Bullet Looks. [...]
Avatar came out while my wife was on a trip to Haiti, and since I promised to see it with her, I waited. And waited. It was an epic adventure that rivaled the movie itself. Well, maybe not, but it was hard waiting. It had been out almost two weeks by the time I saw [...]
