Freezing Cold in Mechanicsburg

November 2014

Some of the first attempts at portraits I ever took, good times. It was painfully cold for the shots at Messiah.

 

Featuring: Brielle

Felly Hoodie Promo

December 11, 2014

Photo and video shoot for the original "Felly" hoodies, sporting the wave and 2273 box logos on the sleeves. Shot in the backyard of the Ivy.

 

Featuring: Felly, GYYPS & Gelber.

Cella Music Video

December 8, 2014

Behind-the-scenes of the official music video for Felly's "Cella," directed by Ray Nicholson and edited by myself. The low light photos came out a bit rough, I admit. We actually got to film on Jack Nicholson's property which was pretty badass, definitely a highlight.

 

Featuring: Felly, Zac Jones, Gelber, Natalie Jackson, CJ, Danny, Nik & Easway.

Storm at Mammoth

November 22 & 23, 2014

Our first venture up to the ski house. The elevation made the turn up real. The snow storm was honestly the worst I've ever attempted to ski in, we were pretty sure death was imminent several times going up the lift. Beautiful drive home though.

 

Featuring: Lindsay, Marco & Tyler.

Top of the Earth Music Video

November 17, 2014

Behind-the-scenes of the official music video for Felly's "Top of the Earth," directed by me. This is one of my favorite videos we've ever made. The simplicity stands out, as well as the spontaneity of pulling over randomly on Mulholland and filming a successful music video.


Featuring: Felly & GYYPS

Lorenzo Photoshoot

October 29, 2014

We actually shot the album art for Milk & Sugar during this trip, but I'm not sure where the original file has gone. Shot around my apartment building at the time, the Lorenzo...I don't recommend it.

 

Featuring: Fel & GYYPS.

Envoy Now Drone

October 9, 2014

Some revolutionary tech at the time. The boy Gabe invited me to come through to shoot a practice delivery of chipotle by a drone. Sadly the drone broke down soon after, and these ideas never came to fruition.

Hermosa with Friends

October 4, 2014

Sunset trip to the beach with some friends sophomore year. Got some awesome sunshot shots.

 

Featuring: Zoë

Hoes Over Homies Music Video

September 27, 2014

I shot a video for USC artist Easway on the rooftop of the Lorenzo, which never saw the light of day. I think we were both a bit ambitious with our work at the time, and the attempt to build something around a Weeknd-esque aesthetic was unrealistic, but that's the come up.

Felly at the Courts

September 27, 2014

We made a little beat-making video to show of Chris & Nik's new spot. Check it out here.

Hermosa Beach Sunsets

September 10, 2016

We go to the beach too much. Or I don't go enough anymore.

Weekender 2014

September 5 - 7, 2016

One of the most exhausting weekends of my life. Kaymann and I actually got evicted from our Air b&b, leaving us stranded with dead cellphones in San Francisco. Fortunately Sarah came to the rescue and let me crash at her spot. I still have nightmares of being in the A Chi O mansion hearing overly excited USC kids blasting the fight song at 5AM. The culture.

Escape the Wave

September 1, 2014

These are the earliest photos I can current locate that I attempted to edit in Lightroom. Pretty surreal going back and looking at the progress. It was almost more fun when I didn't know what I was doing?

 

Featuring: LIndsay & Tyler.

Summer 2014

July 2014

Family trip to Europe + NYC. Might have edited these in my phone or something, not sure how much post work was done.

Sunrise in Palos Verdes

May 6, 2014

Whole squad heads to PV for the sunrise before heading home at the end of freshman semester. 

 

Featuring: Felly, Gabe, Riley, Danny, CJ & Tyler.

Zion AKA Gateway

April 20, 2014

Hanging out on the gateway rooftop. Relaxing.

 

Featuring: Felly, Gabe, CJ, Tyler & Danny.

Low Low Music Video

April 9, 2014

Behind-the Scenes of the official music video for Felly's "Low Low," directed by me. This was my first real video production ever, and I probably had more fun making this compared to any video afterwards. We filmed at SC, Manhattan Beach and the "Bike District?" This video is at 300k+ views as of today, which feels surreal.

 

Featuring: Felly, GYYPS, Eric, Gabe, Riley, Fraher, Easway and Danny.

2273 Sticker Gang

Spring 2014

Tyler and I printed a bunch of 2273Records stickers and stuck 'em everywhere we went. Brought em on the trip to Boston for the show with Madlib. I think if you want some Tyler might still be printing more. Shoutout Tyler's dad.

Midnight Trip to the Beach

April 12, 2015

The whole squad was turning up at Riley's house in Hermosa, when he somehow convinces us to walk to the beach with him. Little did we know "just a few blocks" to Riley means several miles to the rest of us. It was also pretty cold, shoutout Riley for hosting us. We also hit Good Stuff in the morning so it was cool.

 

Featuring: Tyler, Felly, Riley, Gabe, Danny, Jack, Fraher & List.

Opening for Madlib

March 21, 2014

Felly's first live set, opening for Madlib in Boston at the Middle East. The whole CT squad came out, but the crowd still kind of iced us. I trained up from NYC for the show, we wandered Cambridge for like an hour and almost died of frostbite. The Come As You Are shirts are hilarious.

Dorm Living

Fall 2013 - Spring 2014

I was going to create separate albums for these events, but I decided they were more enjoyable to view holistically. We had some lit times in the dorms man, shoutout to the original 2273. Those were the good days. Everyone's got short hair and looks kind of normal. List is always passed out in someone else's room. Hell yeah.

 

Featuring: GYYPS, Felly, List, Gabe, CJ, Eric & Tyler.
