Inside Basílica de la Sagrada Família
While vacationing in Madrid, Spain, I decided to take a trip to Barcelona to visit the famous Basílica de la Sagrada Família. It is nearly impossible to convey the beauty and awe of this place; so I did the best I could using only my iPhone. Enjoy.

Wearing Heels to The White Party?
This year I decided I needed to take a break from making a video for The White Party so that I could actually enjoy it. While having fun, I did get a few clips of guys trying to dance in heels. It was so funny that I ran home, got my gimbal, and then went back to tea...

Halloween 2017
I wanted to go out with a bang, and I think you’ll agree, mission accomplished! We had so much fun making this video and I think the people who participated did as well. The song, “Some Kinda Wonderful” by Betty Who, I immediately felt would be a perfect pairing with...

Family Week 2017
Only one week before the event took place, the Family Equality Council called me, telling me one of their board members was a massive fan of my videos and they wanted me to do a video. So with very little planning we put this together. I filmed five events throughout...
4th of July 2017: Glory Days
