fuckyeahdyslexia

To explain the title, I am dyslexic. Dyslexia isn't a disability of any sort. It shouldn't be considered something that is looked down upon either. Dyslexia is just another way the brain works and interprets information. I recently used the example as: You have those people who interpret information like PC's and dyslexics interpret like Apple's. I personally think dyslexia is a term that's too broad. Dyslexia could be as broad as the word cancer. Those who have dyslexia all succeed and fault in different areas, but in the end we interpret information into visual pictures. Most dyslexics have careers having do with visual jobs, for example: photography, cinematography, design, and much more. My writings, pictures, or music posted, will have nothing to do with dyslexia, but my writings, pictures, or music posted all are impacted by my dyslexia.

I don't hold much back. Here and there I'll explain situations going on in my life. Posting a picture with each post is a must. One of my biggest passions is with photography. Most of the photos posted won't be of my work, but of work that I admire, and one day would love to replicate in some way. Replicating would mean, the lighting, the model's pose, the fashion, composition, etc. In the end I hope to be able to take most of these posts, and have them edited into some sort of book(excluding the photos and music). Writing here also is my form of release. I know I don't have many followers at all, so the idea of writing for people, isn't the idea behind it all. Maybe down the road after a few years, if this could be turned into a book, then yes it could impact people. As of now the writings will only allow you to get to know me a little bit more and get inside my head. My grammar is absolutely horrible so if you have issues understanding something, then don't hesitate to e-mail me. Sxeseis@mac.com

Thanks,

Blogging + Bon Iver, Bon Iver

Why Hello,

I haven’t written in forever. That’s kinda sad. Well life has been fun and interesting. I am currently dating the most amazing girl ever! :D Marisa is such a joy and way too good for me. She takes up most of my time, and if not her then my work. Starting a production company called Tall Productions. It’s been a blast so far. The first few months I was a little scared. I had several meetings with potential clients but nothing booked, no money. Within about 2 weeks, I ended up booking several weddings, and received payments. I loved it! The plan was to finish up a business plan, get a loan, and use that to finance my business. The business has been stalling so I’ve really just been spending all of the funds from my booked weddings on equipment. I have some great toys now. I love my gear and really want to product a work of art that these couples can enjoy forever. I am doing my best to invest in the highest of quality equipment.

I watched an A&A demo last night before bed. Brandon Ray is the main editor there and is brilliant. He is so talented. Could be making 6 figures anywhere else if he wanted to. Instead, he’s editing weddings. Not so fun. But… his work was very inspiring. He can take “okay” footage and make into something really amazing. I definitely was inspired and need to start practicing and pick up the pace. I don’t want to replicate what they are doing at all, but I do need to refine a few areas of my editing skills. I am a one man band right now so if I don’t know how to do something, I have to learn.

My worked on a reality tv show as a camera operator for the months of april and may. That was a blast. The hours were long, pay was decent, but it fun still being apart of a new experience. It’s a show that should be showing on CMT. If it picks up, then that should bring me more work here in the next few months.

I am self employed. It’s scary. But God has definitely blessed me with many jobs. I have been filming weddings, if not for Tall Productions, then for a few other company’s in town. It allows more practice with my gear and meeting new people. I am also refining my skills. As I am writing this, I feel that I need to be filming during the week too. Filming time lapses, creative shots of downtown, and just building up a portfolio of shots that I could use and incorporate into future projects.

I have been driving all over lately. Driving allows you to really clear your head and think. I was thinking how I just want to spend my life learning new things. I want to get a pilots license. Marisa’s family lives 8 hours away driving. So I think getting a pilots license and possibly purchasing a cheap plane would be a good idea. Right? Well I don’t want to my whole life being good at just one or two things. I want to just continually learn more and more. Treat life like Rune Scape, by improving your mining skills, smelting skills, attacking skills, etc. If any of you actually had the opportunity to play the game Rune Scape.

It’s a sunday, listening to Bon Iver’s new album, and still shirtless at my laptop with an empty stomach. This post was lame, but informative. :D
