Early Warning System

Art... The greatest of early warning systems?

Opportunity

Going out of your way to provide opportunity

This Video had me laughing, then the brokenness of it completely winded me. The follow up is inspiring…

Perfect time of the year for stories like this…

////////Information taken from the Youtube video description//////////////

Throwing this video from the Columbus Dispatch out there, hoping we can find this talent a place to call home.

UPDATE-1: Many thanks go out to all of you who have been tossing phone numbers and e-mails my way for Ted’s sake. I went up to Hudson/I-71 (Columbus) today, but Ted wasn’t there. He is going to be on air tomorrow morning on radio station WNCI. I’ve left my contact info w/WNCI to call/e-mail me on a way to get your enormous opportunities over to him.

I’m going to give him a Trac phone (w/ample minutes) so that he can return calls to all of you.

Hopefully, in some way I’ll get in contact w/him. Peace.

UPDATE-2: To all those who have been writing me (as one of Ted’s only means of contact), I have learned that the radio station interviewing him tomorrow (1-5-11) a.m. is going to make him a formal offer. Whether true or not, we’ll see.

Hope it works out well for him. That was the whole point of me posting this video. I cannot thank enough everyone who was willing to do their part in offering Ted their helping hand.

Whoever lands him is certainly getting much more than a memorable personality; they’re getting a great human being as part of their team.

My best to all.

UPDATE-FINAL: Well everyone. You can give yourselves and Ted a high-five. He’s being given offers hand-over-fist over the air. He’ll be set for life.

My request to all. Whenever you run across a story such as this, don’t assume it’ll take a life of its own, on its own. It won’t. It can’t. There are too many other stories that drown out the one before it.

You need to spend time to get that story and its word out to many. If you care, you’ll do it.

Keep the faith, pay forward and always lend a hand; even if you’re the one who needs it.

God bless Mr. Williams. I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of him for sometime to come.

Playing around with scans of some woodblock type to create this postcard. Thinking of running it as a screen print if anyone wants one?

REDEEM CITIES_

I shot this a few weeks ago as a teaser for an event in Belfast about how the church can transform culture, cities and nations.

The concept of the film is making something new out of something that already exists.

It’s a ‘one shot’ that actually lasted just under an hour in real time, condensed to about 100 seconds in final screen time. 

The soundtrack is by Ben Mcavoy who did a great job of interpreting the brief.

Technical assistance (Math boffins) came in the form of Matt Jones and Giles Smith. 

Many thanks to Kamal who unknowingly became the main protagonist!

Look out for the appearance of a rogue power adapter that lets you know it was a ‘set up’ all along.

Oh how he loves us

Jon Brown gave me the heads up on this guy...

Cheeky Vid, Great song. In fact I’d say a definite power tune!

He’s also got an album coming out soon, which should be good.

Zooma Zooma

Right! So there are but 8 minutes left of April fools day, so I figure this is the last chance that I'll get to post this song!

So, any pride that I may have about being some kind of cool, late 20’s (yes I know I look so young) something are well out of the window.

Claire and the kids have been over in france with the Mother in law for the last week so I thought I’d record this little track that I seem to sing variations of at some point every Saturday with the kids!
