This is an art piece on my wall which I've taken to mean "Being a #filmmaker, an #artist, is a journey.

Nueva York se planta ante la violencia: los delincuentes sexuales tendrán prohibida la entrada al metro y autobús

El gobernador de Nueva York, Andrew Cuomo, adelantó este martes que propondrá una ley para vetar la entrada a los transportes urbanos de delincuentes sexuales de alto riesgo y de personas que hayan cometido "repetidas" infracciones sexuales.La medida recogerá prohibiciones de hasta tres años para acceder al metro, el autobús o el sistema de ferrocarriles del estado de Nueva York.La ley permitirá a los jueces que incluyan en las sentencias a delincuentes sexuales la prohibición de hacer uso de las instalaciones públicas de transporte. Saltarse dicho veto judicial será considerado una falta, bajo la nueva legislación."Los usuarios del servicio de transporte merecen sentirse seguros y nosotros tenemos la obligación de garantizar que no serán el objetivo de delincuentes sexuales", dijo Cuomo, según un comunicado de su oficina. MTA riders deserve to feel safe, and we have an obligation to ensure they will not be targeted by sex offenders. I'm proposing that we ban repeat sex offenders from the MTA. Enough is enough.#SOTS2020 #MakingProgressHappen— Andrew Cuomo (@NYGovCuomo) January 7, 2020 No es la primera vez que las autoridades del estado y la ciudad de Nueva York proponen este tipo de medidas. El pasado marzo, el alcalde de Nueva York, Bill de Blasio, se mostró favorable a una legislación que apartase del metro a los depredadores sexuales, aunque recordó que debería ser aprobada por las autoridades estatales, que son la que tienen competencia sobre el sistema metropolitano de transporte. Esta cuestión ha sido abordada periódicamente, coincidiendo con casos de acoso o exhibicionismo registrados en los medios de transporte.En marzo de 2019, por ejemplo, el diario "The New York Post" publicó un reportaje sobre una decena de hombres que habían sido arrestados repetidamente por tocar a mujeres dentro del metro o por mostrarles sus genitales. Al tratarse de comportamientos considerados habitualmente como delitos menores, estos reincidentes quedan en libertad rápidamente y muchos vuelven a cometerlos. "Suficiente es suficiente. Si queremos que nuestro sistema público de transportes mejore, necesitamos encontrar un equilibrio entre el derecho de alguien a tener acceso al transporte público y la seguridad de los usuarios", afirmó hoy el gobernador. http://dlvr.it/RMdv9h

I currently no own 42 #PrimeLenses. I think I'm over due for a #GearGeek video about glass, and why it means so much to me... And why it should mean that much to you, and your project. #SetLife #CrewLife #Cinematographer #Cinematography ##NikonFanBoy #MakingProgressHappen (at Studio City, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1x_DOYAD3T/?igshid=nswy1qd0a58c

Bought a label maker, some label cartridges, and some label frames. This organized OCD fool might be the happiest he's been in a long while. Oh the labeling fun I will have going forward!

Spent the month of August #PaintingWithLight and working with the best of the best #G&E #Setlife/#Crewlife team ever, on a #FeatureFilm. Here is a taste of what I was asked of on the daily! We haven't wrapped... So I have not thanked the people I need too, but will. Also that #BTS footage is still rendering #EditorJoke! Real talk though. This team is next level! #AzizLight #MakingProgressHappen #TheFifthElement (at Altadena, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1x3414AWFQ/?igshid=1d4jxdkhuri4y

Did a #Photoshoot with @mike_walburn_photog. Can hardly wait to share the final product(s)! Here is a little post game play by play from that days events. #Cinematographer #Photographer #MakingProgressHappen (at Los Angeles, California)

This is my go-to camera at the moment, a #NikonD7100, for both stills and video. I've been very selective about the camera bodies I've purchased throughout the years. You can do a lot with any camera these days. They all have pretty amazing sensors and so often it comes down to knowing a cameras limitations and doing your best to use quality glass and have a strong understanding of how to #PaintWithLight. Mastering highlights and shadows is key. I've had a #NikonD300s, and a #CanonT3i prior. Both still kicking. I definitely plan to invest in a camera that can capture a 4K image next but I will make sure it's the right camera for my needs and allows me to continue to work, making a living, be competitive and be creative. I truly love what I do. This medium continues to challenge and excite me. #AWorkInProgress #StillAWorkInProgress #MakingProgressHappen #ComingSoon (at Studio City, California)

This is my #NikonF100. I started my career with this camera. As a photojournalist I mainly shot sports and music photography. It was UW Badgers sporting events and musicians. This was while I was still in Madison, WI. When I moved to LA I switched it up and did headshots, models/fashion as well as sticking with capturing musicians, both live and promo material. I pretty much dropped sports. There was a learning curve when switching but my foundation was solid. This was and still is so important. Having a solid foundation. Now growth, is also imperative. Without growth, there is no progress. You must build on your foundation. #AWorkInProgress #StillAWorkInProgress #MakingProgressHappen #ComingSoon (at Studio City, California)

I've worn dog tags for a long time. My name is Major, so the military theme made since. Now, I've also used it as an opportunity to put sayings and quotes on different tags that I might need to reference during the day, during my life. I lost my main pair a long while back and was feeling nostalgic so I got new ones and am going to continue the periodic swapping of tags to keep me motivated. Find your inspiration, your reminder for the day. Find a focus and then follow through. #AWorkInProgress #MakingProgressHappen #ComingSoon #ImLostIveGoneToLookForMyselfIfIShouldReturnBeforeIGetBackPleaseAskMeToWait (at Studio City, California)

Got a text that said, "Sorry to do this too you last minute but I can't do dinner tonight. I'm so sorry. Maybe next week?!?" Is it weird that I thought, "Cool, now I have more time to clean 😒." LOL, I'm not even mad though. In the last week I've been chipping away, in beast mode, cleaning/organizing my gear and my life, in between jobs. And it's been such a good feeling. It's getting real. #MakingProgressHappen #MajorProgress #AndYesAllOfThatFitOnOneSelf #ImAnOrganizedGenius (at Studio City, California)

Recently updated the resumes, yes plural. I now have almost as many sound credits as I do #DP/CameraOp/AC credits which is so weird to me because I never set out to do sound. I picked up the skill out the necessity. To improve the quality of my own work and to understand that department and the role it plays on set so I could better work and communicate with that member of the production team. From the beginning I've been a #Photographer turned #Cinematographer, #CameraOp, and #AC. I live and breath camera department, painting with light and the "frame". But it took me a while to accept that I am and will continue to be a #SoundRecordist, and love doing it. Don't deny yourself being good at more then one thing. You will sometimes find your second or third skill takes a back see to your main pursuit but know that it's still there and if you commit yourself to excelling at it then you will. #JackOfAllTradesMasterOfJackOfAllTrades #MakingProgressHappen (at Studio City, California)

Been working on this for awhile. Built a semi custom computer and finally unpacked my editing hardware, uploaded software and set up the editing station. Gonna be back in the full swing of things soon enough! #MajorProgressStudios #MakingProgressHappen #Photographer #Cinematographer #Editor #JackOfAllTrades (at Studio City, California)

We had one of the #Cinematographers in our test group request a green screen test. Now I don't shoot a lot of green screen. I can count on one hand how many times I've shot and/or lit a green screen. It just doesn't come up often in my type of work and the genres of projects I normally work on. On the other hand @Roger_Nall is a #Cinematographer who's background is all about VFX. He has been a VFX supervisor on loads of projects so he has the experience & the know how to determine what is needed from a camera to best operate in a green screen scenerio. His insight on this #CameraTest is so essential. Getting many different perspectives in a camera test is important when trying to determine how best to use it as a tool. Also @sirbryanforrest is working the -ish out that hair flip. He was doing the most! #DOP #MakingProgressHappen
