Just had a visitor. This bear is not afraid of pretty much anything (where the others are spooked even when they hear a window getting unlocked and opened).
Threw some ominous music quickly on my phone for your amusement. =)

Whelp, it finally happened:
A (virtual, thankfully) client meeting was interrupted by a bear entering my yard. Had to get my patio door closed in a hurry. 😅

Mission: Impossible 8 was AWESOME!! You’ve gotta see it in a theater (the biggest screen you can get to) with a big bucket of popcorn on your lap. 🍿

Some late night product photography for a client.
Yes, the white fabric-looking thing is the product (it’s filtration media). I love a challenge!
I’ll be sure to post a finished photo here.

When the client gives everyone a can of pure oxygen due to altitude… 😅
Thankfully I’m 100% ok (even without it) but others aren’t as fortunate.

Having filmed in many facilities that manufacture even small pieces of DoD tech -- and knowing the incredible level of security and secrecy of things that can seem inconsequential -- there is ZERO chance a Qatar-gifted 747 could be up to snuff to serve as Air Force One this decade.
