Tune of the 49th

Up and coming Seattle band (and good pals of mine), Washington Mile, asked me to direct and shoot their first music video / promo for their debut album Simple Hearts. I gladly accepted and after hours and hours and hours ... and hours, here is the final product! I had wonderful ladies, Kira and Danya, help me with the filming day. AND my beautiful and lovely baby sister, Cassandra acting as the girl. I loved making this even though it was hard work. I can't wait for future projects like this!

Listen to great tunes from Washington Mile.

In honor of the stop motion project I have been working on countless hours... Here is a beautiful, whimsical song set to an equally beautiful, whimsical stop motion video.

I love you and goodnight.

Kailynn Josephine

Bright and early at 6:34am on March 11th 2010, my precious beautiful niece, Kailynn Josephine Ong was born. Neisha was a Warrior Momma, bringing Kailynn into the world after over 20 hours of labor! I love Kailynn, Sean and Neisha Ong and CANNOT wait to see them in May!! I WANT TO HOLD YOU MY SNUGGLE BUG!

Untold Stories

Never when the noisiness of shuffling feet or obligatory laughs fill the spaces between door and window. Always when the other door closes and I am alone. I thought I was alone. The once frivolous pursuit of thoughts switch to peeks and glimpses of Her spilling coffee and the lines of His unmoving lips. "What is your name?" I ask. She turns the corner, her skirt lightly catches wind. "Wait!" I close my eyes. Why have they chosen a mind like mine? Selfish, buttoned up mind. I can hear Him catch Her around the corner. I imagine She runs right into his chest. Thud. There goes the coffee. I turn the corner and giggle at the sight. She hides Herself quietly, neatly behind Him. "Show me your faces." I ask politely. "Show me your faces." I ask a little less politely. Fumbling with the chain, He opens his copper pocket watch; it reads: "Tell them the story."

My lovely gal pal recently shared this little treasure of a site with me. Do take a minute or two to create something pretty to share! in light of my undying love for mr. sendak's little boy, max... it's no surprise this is what i came up with for my first piece.

dear mr. sunshine

My first, and certainly not my last, stop motion film. Very very short film. I thought I should start with something little before taking on bigger ideas. Enjoy for now and stay tuned for more in the hopefully near future. Good night!

Neopolitan Dreams

First day back to school- let the procrastination begin :)
Here is a lovely young bright eyed lady I started listening to recently.
Lisa Mitchell's music is like sunshine in a silver locket.
Her videos are equally as endearing.
Enjoy!
