Starting From The Roots

From documentaries- to globe trotting…here's my way to spread some inspiration.

Stage Fright

I haven’t posted lately because I’ve had a sudden attack of stage fright. You know the kind where you’d much rather stand behind the curtain instead of showing off you’re latest dance move?  You wait in bated breath hoping all the practice is going to pay off. Ooo the tension in the air!  Hopefully it’s an adoring audience that watches as you sway and sashay in your rawest expression. :) Oh, where would we be if we didn’t need encouragement? Thanks for all the support from my friends and family I’ve been getting these past few months. I’m back to update you on the progress of the trip planning.

Two full days left of checking equipment. So far I’ll be taking:

Panasonic AG-HMC 150

Two batteries

Tripod

Reflectors

Laptop

Two External hard drives (thank everyone who insisted on this)

Lavalier

shotgun mic

All of this will be either carry on or securely smushed into my extra large backpack. Yep, I’m taking a large roll-on pack that includes straps to mimick the rough look and appeal as if I was ‘backpacking across the Andes’ . Heaven only knows if I’ll have any help to carry any of my stuff so this way I’m prepared to roll with the punches and chin up. This is one adventure I am excited to have the opportunity to take. I’ll carry you with me as much as I can to include you on the journey. I’m slightly over my stage fright already. Like any skill, you have to practice…use it or lose it!

So for now I’ll be available on my cell until It’s turned off until the last week of April. If anyone need to contact me please email me!
