Well, I did it.
I graduated with a Masters Degree in Digital Media from UW, with perfect grades.
summa cum laude!
During the last year I:
+Consulted companies on Social Media and Digital Content around the country
+Taught film making to young students, helping them produce short films on climate change
+Made a film about a famous rock climber
+Started the Lo-Fi, Hi-Style movement
+Was written about in the New York Times
+Found a fantastic girlfriend and helped her start a blog.
+Filmed two documentaries, one about social media, the other about fixed gear cycling
+Traveled to New Orleans as DP for a full length documentary
+Moved to a nice house (and out of a crazy apartment in Wallingford)

+Started running again and getting in shape
It has been a great year and I have so much to be thankful for. I’m now out in the world again, focusing on my photography, new-media/social-media ventures and trying to find a way to do well in this crazy economic/social climate.
A year ago when I was moving my stuff into my apartment in Wallingford from Coeur D’Alene ID, I had no clue that my life would change so much. This year has literally changed the direction of my life and I have to keep reminding myself of this.
I’m very excited for this coming year and I hope that those that follow my blog will enjoy what I post for 2009.
Thanks for sticking with me this last year through blog remodels and sometimes erratic posting.
