VIDEO: The Silver Shadows' "Enjoy the Show"

I worked on this video for Myron Steves & Associates. The Silver Shadows are a nationally known swing dance troup (specifically, lindy-hop dancers) and we shot their show here in Houston, TX in March, 2007. We used four Sony Z1U's and then it was edited on Final Cut 5.

Don't Be Surprised

It's actually an excerpt from a much longer work, originally intended to be an original screenplay. The screenplay is entitled, "Prayer for the Dying" and is the story of one last missionary journey for a Catholic priest dying of AIDS and his Baptist evangelist friend. They travel with a team into a restricted zone and after barely escaping, Alex, the priest, succumbs to the disease.

My Father and I

A short story I wrote in 2000 for one of my Creative Writing elective classes. I still like it, even though the technique is rudimentary at best.
