One of my GoPro lacrosse videos (Indoor 2012) was recently featured and used in a cool POV video by TalkSportMagazine. This is significant, one because I like when other people enjoy my videos and ask to use them, and two, TalkSportsMagazine has about 160,000 subscribers on youtube. Although I thought they could have used some better scenes from my video, I was overall satisfied with their video and feel honored to have them used it. Watch it below!

On top of all of this...
I did a photoshoot for Johnny's band the other day in Chicago. My first official photoshoot, it went pretty well, but I realized I need to take more initiative and be more of a "director" as well, which can be difficult with people you do not know. His band and I had a fun time, and we got some decent shots which I was able to do a quick few edits. Here is one them. Also I was given the privilege to listen to them play a little and also heard a few of their demos, the music is flat out quality. I am pumped for them to release an official EP.
I have also began to edit some videos for 1223 Lacrosse where I am currently giving small group and private lessons. This new indoor facility is something that I have dreamed about being able to utilize and I am lucky enough to have my good friend Gio get me involved in this exclusively lacrosse facility on the north side of Naperville. The videos will include features on Power Shafts & StringKing mesh. My first "professional" video experience. Again, I need to continue to better myself at being more of a leader and director behind the camera. I often go off of others ideas, but it is time I start making the calls and giving out orders.
Life has been pretty busy, along with Rachel moving to the city! I will be down there a lot more now and she is living in an excellent location, Old Town. We were able to make some dinner and then go to a comedy show @ Second City last Friday. The show, A Clown Car Named Desire, was hilarious and really had me laughing. While I was down there we also began to watch the series "Breaking Bad." So far almost through season one, Rachel and I are hooked and loving it. Walter White doing work. With more time in Chicago, I am excited to do more in the city, exploring it, and taking more pictures and videos.
