I started this blog in 2009 as an outlet for my passion in video editing. Since then, I’ve become a collector and user of more than a hundred film cameras, most of which are older than I am, and blogged about that. And about my experiences in many of the interesting places my work has taken me.

In 2020, at age 53, I finally made the leap to learn “proper” documentary filmmaking, and completed a master’s in journalism at the University of California. My thesis film “The Search” won a number of awards in the film festival circuit.

I’m currently based in Nouakchott, Mauritania, making my plans for a full-time journalism career.

Never give up on your dreams.
