During the course of March, 2012, I was privileged to work alongside International Child Care (Haiti), in an effort to produce a number of documentary pieces. In the wake of the 2010 Earthquake that devastated the area around Port-au-Prince, we sought to reveal the efforts of an NGO that has made significant, nation-wide progress in the areas of TB and HIV, while also featuring countless community health initiatives that have brought sustainability and preventative medicine to both rural and urban communities for nearly five decades. Most importantly however, I embraced this assignment as an opportunity to look beyond the rubble and to reveal a voice seldom heard - that of a people bound by hope, pride and resilience.

On April 13, I joined a Canadian crew from Crucible Pictures and a Chinese crew from Ginger Films for an 18-day location scout that spanned the breathtaking landscape of rural China. In search of epic locations for an upcoming lifestyle television series, we scouted locations such as the Gobi Desert, Mount Huashan and the urban bustle of Hong Kong. The next two months' focus will be on re-defining the way in which we capture lifestyle television through the lens. Follow me on Twitter to join the discussion.

RETROSPECTIVE: "Lithograph" Official Music Video, Shoot the Image (2011)
Working alongside Calgary-based director, Olaf Blomerus, "Lithograph" was filmed on-location in Toronto and Vancouver using Canon DSLR camera bodies mounted on Dynamic Perception's Stage Zero timelapse dolly system. Benefiting from a combination of seamlessly-smooth dolly movements, painfully slow frame rates (only achievable through timelapse photography), and the high resolution still images created on Canon's 7D and 5D MKii cameras, Olaf and I were able to create a unique, exclusive aesthetic tailored to Shoot the Image's debut single, "Lithograph".
