Cave of Fermented Dreams

This past summer, I had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to document an earth-shattering discovery: a primitive cave culture whose works had lain dormant for untold years. Journey along with us as we uncork… the Cave of Fermented Dreams!

Cameron Spritz

One of the most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay producers in the state tries their hand at the lowliest of beverage categories, the wine cooler. And why not? It’s summer, and it’s hot outside. So I shot and cut a couple of quick promos for this scintillating concoction – Cameron Spritz – working from their hilarious concept and script and fine tuning it with them on set and in the edit bay. As John’s character says, “Thank you for your attention!”

Cameron Winery’s Vinfolk

On the cusp of a new release, Cameron Winery realized it was time for gathering. Intentionally. Artisanally. Community-y. And so we joined them in quiet celebration to direct, shoot and cut this video that, at last, shares the wholesome, hand-curated way fine Pinot Noir is really made. Until…

Cameron’s Drop Kick Campaign

Every fall, Cameron Winery gears up to sell its new releases. But this year, they wondered if there might be an easier way: crowdfunding! Especially when they discovered the fine print that for many sites, you’re under no obligation to actually deliver the thing you’re raising money for.

Free money. No accountability! What could be better than that?

Mondo Ego

“Wine is all about image,” declares hipster consultant Michel Ard’on in MondoEgo, a gritty, tongue-in-cheek mockumentary for the ever-irreverent Cameron Winery. Working from a hilarious script brainstormed by winemakers John and Julian Paul, we produced, directed, shot and cut this 14-minute send-up.

Grab a glass of wine (Cameron seems to work best, not surprisingly) and enjoy!

“The future is bright.” An image I took two ye “The future is bright.” An image I took two years ago for the reelection campaign of Portland Commissioner Nick Fish, who passed away yesterday after a long battle with stomach cancer. It’s a testament to Nick’s unflagging optimism about what we can accomplish if we work together that he wrote those words not two years ago, but just 48 hours before he died. . Here’s hoping – as I’d guess he would – that he wasn’t an artifact of a bygone age, but an archetype we can re-mint for our time and the unique challenges we face. Til then, we’ll have to figure out how to steady the tiller ourselves. Thanks for doing so for so long, Nick. . . . . . #nickfish #commishfish #ripnickfish #portlandcityhall #portland #oregon #cancer #cancersucks #photogiraud
This past summer, I had a once-in-a-lifetime oppor This past summer, I had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to document an earth-shattering discovery: a primitive cave culture whose works had lain dormant for untold years. I was there as a crack team of scientists and explorers uncovered artifacts, interpreted crude markings, and slowly pieced together the heady, improbable story of this bizarre and archaic civilization. . It’s the dream of every documentarian: being there, with a camera, when history is uncovered - and made up. Journey along with us as we uncork… the Cave of Fermented Dreams! (link in bio)

Today, after the fire that ravaged Notre Dame, thi Today, after the fire that ravaged Notre Dame, this intersection of transept and nave – directly below the spire that crumbled in flames – now opens to the heavens above Paris, smeared with ash and slashed with the blue and red lights of firefight. I remember so clearly the feel of this space. There is something about a building this ancient, hushed for centuries in the focus of worship, its every edge smoothed by the touch of countless hands, that compresses time: your shared experience with a million people before you touches the eternal. It may take that long to rebuild, but Macron is right that transcendent spaces like this are too rare and too sacred not to. #parisjetaime . . . . . . #paris #europe #france #notredamedeparis #notredame #hommage #parisweloveyou #architecture #architecturephotography #histoire #neverstopexploring #visualsofearth #ourplanetdaily #wonderful_places #thecreatorclass #artofvisuals #natgeo #TeamCanon #photogiraud
Harvest never quite feels like it begins in a vine Harvest never quite feels like it begins in a vineyard, but instead, 60 miles up the road, here at the lonely beacon that is Biggs Junction. It’s the last chance to come to our senses, turn back and live a normal life for the next month and a half. But meh, fuck that, and before I know it, I’ve broken left across the Columbia River into Washington, toward the Rattlesnake Hills and harvest 2019.
