DYNEX Technologies + PROGEN

You surely know me for crafting polished still imagery for brands and commercial clients, but you might be surprised to learn that I bring the same precision, narrative, and compelling visual impact to motion; like this recent promotional video I produced for DYNEX Technologies, showcasing their medical laboratory testing equipment and announcing a new industry partnership.

DYNEX has trusted me to capture stills for their marketing and leadership for years, so when they approached me to film this promotional spot, I was excited to be entrusted with the creative freedom to bring their script to life.

After the usual planning and scouting, all shots were completed in one full day of filming, including all scripted imagery along with B-roll vital to tying all shots together.  Post-production was carried out in collaborative stages, and was completed in time for DYNEX to exhibit the promo alongside live product demos at tradeshows to begin the year announcing their new partnership with PROGEN.  This project also provided the pleasure of once again working with a voice actor in addition to the on-screen talent.

Videography is a creative and technical skill I love being able to exercise in visualizing my perspective and share it with the World.  2025 was my most videography focused year in recent history; looking forward to the next vivid video project!

2026 Washington Auto Show

In 2025 we got to see Buick’s Wildcat EV, and this year brought the new concept car’s roots to the show in the form of the original 1985 futuristic testbed (and legendary Hot Wheels).

First unveiled in 1985, the Buick Wildcat concept was a sleek, forward-looking statement of where General Motors imagined American luxury performance could go: low, wide, unapologetically futuristic, and packed with then-cutting-edge digital instrumentation.  Seeing the original Wildcat on the auto show floor this year made for a striking time-warp moment, especially when viewed through the lens of last year’s Wildcat EV debut.  While the 1985 concept leaned into Bézier curves, aviation influence, and analog futurism, the modern EV reinterpretation carries that same experimental spirit forward with smooth surfaces, bold proportions, and an all-electric ethos.  Nearly four decades apart, both Wildcats serve the same purpose: less about production reality, and more about Buick staking a claim on what its version of the future looks like.

The Washington Auto Show sadly seems to shrink every year these days, and this year felt especially small, with fewer attendees due to the snowstorm still impacting the region, and large swaths of missing attendance - I remember the days when German manufacturers were on display, and luxury marquees such as Lexus, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Lincoln, Cadillac, and Jaguar were all highlights; this year, not even Nissan was included in the Japanese offerings - very disappointing annual downsizing.  Based on this, I was shocked Alfa Romeo and Land Rover both had small displays.
Exotics are always present in some capacity, but these are halo cars for the average attendee; I’m speaking about the missing makes attendees previously would have been able to experience the product.

After the show, a cool scene of chilly, ice covered DC:

Rubin, Madonna, & Abby - Fall Portraits for a Growing Family

It’s been a year since we’ve seen Abby, Donna, and Rubin; Abby is now two, and surprise, she’s soon to be a big sister!

At the peak of this year’s Fall colors, the three gathered at one of their favorite parks and playgrounds to bask in the sunset of 2025’s warm weather.  Abby learned she is is an expert climber, repeatedly traversing the monkey bar archway designed for kids much older than her, and took flight with Rubin tossing her skyward.

Here’s to seeing this family grow in 2026!

Joel & Danie: Engaged December 25th, 2023

This Fall, just before the leaves were being blown from their branches, Joel and Danie took in the colors along the Potomac River together to commemorate their engagement.  Although they have been engaged for just shy of two years now, like so many people in the pandemic era, establishing wedding plans is now trickier and necessitates planning further out; a lasting effect in our new post-pandemic normal — Joel and Danie will be wed this coming Spring!

While planning their engagement session, the two poked fun at each other if they would wear their respective uniforms for the shoot - both are “airport people,” like myself, and paused several times during our shoot to see which flight was overhead.  Once again, aviation has a way of bringing people together.  The afternoon wrapped up with a leaf fight - no leaf piles were on hand to jump into.

Stay tuned this Spring for Joel and Danie’s wedding, after the snow melts and the flowers begin to emerge in Arlington!

Total Lunar Eclipse: March 14th, 2025

Last year we were treated to a solar spectacle we haven’t seen since 2017, and this year, to kick off Spring, we got a great lunar show as the moon was totally eclipsed by Earth’s shadow.  The DC area lucked out, with a nearby storm system going wide, leaving the skies clear for the entire red totality.  It’s been a few years since I saw a Blood Moon eclipse, and this one looked like a cataract peering through the black curtain of night sky, or at maximum totality as though Mars had entered our orbit for the night.

I used a slightly different capture process for this photo than I typically do for astrophotography, which allowed me to capture more detail at a much higher ISO than I would normally shoot, and allow me to avoid the noise normally found natively at those ISOs.  The result is this image, which is a single exposure with the stars visible behind the moon, not a composite or blend of multiple exposures.
