Dustin Miller is rad. He is one of my best friends and taught me everything I know regarding video and film and a lot of things that have nothing to do with cameras. One day we will share a studio again and go fishing and build things and intimidate his daughter’s suitors and shoot film even though everyone is saying film is dead or dying. It’s not. Dustin taught me that.

This is one his latest works of cinematic magic for Baron Wells:

This song is amazing. High School kids from North San Diego killing it.

Thanks to Andrew Robert Luce for sending over the video.

Did some shooting for Nineplus today. This was from the last wave of the day.

T. Mothersead goes to Church.

Love this. Makes me want to go fishing again.  

If time = money, then the less money you need the more time you have. And, the less money you spend the less money you need, so the more time you have.

What is a greater commodity, time, or money?

One can always get more money, but one’s time is limited. You can’t really get more. You can try to exercise and drink a glass of red wine for the heart, but the seconds are still counting down to zero. 

Then, it is important to spend your time well and your money well.

If you spend your time doing something you enjoy and are able to make money at it, well, that is awesome.

However, if you hate the time spent working but do it simply for the money, well then, maybe you should reconsider what you do.

Time isn’t money, it is worth far more.

Just some thoughts.

The desert is one of the easier places to escape civilization because it is not hospitable to our race. Dry, dusty, rocky, filled with flora that cuts with a swipe and fauna that poisons with a bite. What better place to get away from all things human for a short while?

I pressed the pedals and headed east through the night Friday until I reached the edge of the Anza Borrego desert, where I passed out in the back of the Beast. I woke with the sun and trekked across a shadeless and desolate valley to the music of my footsteps.

Upon reaching a canyon oasis a refreshed my water supply and prepared for the night. After a day I could not yet keep my mind still. 

Day two brought the peace of life giving desert streams and a brain clear and focused on the present. 

Finding what I had come to find I decided to walk out by the light of a nearly full moon. After not seeing another human for an entire day and a half, hearing the howls of coyotes caused me to run through numerous coyote defense scenarios in my head.

Being alone is a good thing, for a short time. I also realized I am a very social being and would have loved to have had your company at times. Life is meant to be shared. Community is essential. Create it and embace it.

Brilliant and inspiring. 

This film makes me want to quit my job and go work overseas. 

Tonight I embark on a journey in the wild places of southern California and of my heart and mind. Heading out on a three day foot journey as far away from civilization as possible with nothing but the gear I need for survival, a camera, some paper, and a pen. 

Who knows what will happen, but I’ll share as much as I can.
