During the 1970's, Northern Ireland was seen as a musical wasteland. Bands struggled to get recognition and found it difficult to be heard because of geography and politics. There were few outlets for people to go to hear new music and socialise in a worry free environment. Terri Hooley changed all that. In the late 1970's Terri opened up the record shop "Good Vibrations" on the most bombed street in Europe at the time. The record shop was a major focal point for the local music scene. ...

Please watch in Fullscreen & HD with sound for best quality. Cityscape Chicago II is a personal timelapse piece that I have worked on periodically over the past two years.

Heavy sun and low snow has left Valle Nevado ski area reduced to bare rock, a lost season. Lifts shut down and skiers flee towards Santiago in droves. Hot tubs and pisco prevail for the DPS crew.

While the resort hunkers down and weathers the whiteout, they disappear into clouds that boil with a meter of snow. The desert becomes an ethereal sanctuary, dissolving into the sky. The Shadow ...

Shot with canon 5D mark III Thank you to OpenSkies for giving me the opportunity & freedom to make ...
