Lights... CENSUS... Action!

Back in Action!

A while back I had the privilege of getting my feet wet with video and directing with a really great film maker/artist Hagoth Aiono. I had the opportunity to work on a great project for the CENSUS Campaign with Hagoth. Creatively we had a blast piecing together his vision for this project. We literally had about 2 weeks to get people in place, get the shots, and Hagoth had the big job of editing the final product.
This experience opened my creative eye to video production. There are so many elements that go into film making! When we were creating this piece we didn't want to take the literal PSA approach but to make art and make statements through visuals. This guy definitely has a vision! I was there to help with photography and assist in the direction. What a great experience! Thanks Goth!

To see more of Hagoth's awesome work check out his website here & his youtube channel here. 

Special thanks to all those that participated in the videos!

Exciting News: SAI AWARDS! Samoan Achiever's International Awards Gala!

 A couple of weeks ago, I was approached about by Rita Scanlan whom I have met at the Census 2010 Kick Off Party in Carson to see if I would be interested in having some of my photography work in the Samoan Cultural Arts & Artifacts Exhibit. A display of Samoan historical artifacts  and contemporary art.

I was floored by the opportunity that was just presented in front of me and to be amongst other VIPS, Community Leaders, and even politicians in one place is amazing. The cherry on top is to have my work in the exhibit. I have never done anything like this before but I definitely did not want to pass this up.

I am excited to be a part of this and see the excellence that is to be recognized at this black-tie event.

Thank You Rita!
