Television Time

Its been a very, very busy May. Unfortunately I haven't had much to share creatively for the blog, but have been able to create some interesting photos and land some TV limelight time.

Here is a cool picture from this week's Gospel Dream shoot including the awesome camera man:

and here is an interesting one that I will leave up to the viewer to interpret:



This job was for the television show Gospel Dream. Gospel Dream 2008 will run for five consecutive Sunday nights at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT) on the Gospel Music Channel, starting June 28. If you've got the curiosity and time, you will be able to view our photo shoot and my jubilant exclamations during those times.

How did I get to be the photographer for television shows? I have sought acting jobs for years through a local talent agency, AMAX, and last fall landed a gig as a militant photographer in this video from last fall:



It has been a delight to get to be boisterous and to get to use my expensive toys, too. A special thanks goes out to my two friends and fellow TV stars: Brady and Joe.

Missing Persons

Art has lost its artists. They are an army of missing persons.

They are away tending to the banalities of email, facebook, and television.

This morning I could have written a great song, or waded through writing one of the hundreds of poor songs that make up the intervals between great songs.

How many great songs, plays, papers, and ideas, go unrendered because of our social priorities? Let Howard Beale have your ear for a moment (caution: the following clip contains necessary profanity):
