With bigger projects, and more high profile clients, it makes sense to use the right tools to get the job done. As I've started to plan out my different jobs for the first half of the year, improving the quality of my production equipment is something that has been on my mind. 

For many of us, the most important computer that we have is the one in our pockets. Even more so for content creators, our phones are one of our biggest tools for creating content and connecting with our audiences. 

Happy New Year! As I write this, it's the end of one year and the beginning of another, and as I look back on what I've accomplished this year, I also see what I could have done better. Hopefully these five tips will help you as you travel.

I'm heading to Oklahoma for the holidays, and it'll give me the opportunity to shoot a section of America I haven't seen yet. I've lived around DC, seen NYC and was an ATLien for a day, fell in love shooting here in Seattle and loved hiking the Hollywood Hills. This will be my first time in the middle of the US, so I'm excited to explore some new cities and see new things to explore. 

Earlier this year, I had the awesome pleasure of getting to shoot a Kickstarter video for Maryland Meadworks, a new meadery opening up in my hometown of Hyattsville, MD. Owned by Ken Carter, MMW is tapping into the growing hotspot that is Hyattsville.

I think that's the most important part of shooting, telling a story people can connect with and follow.
