Speaking of "innovations..."

Speaking of innovations, we received recognition for a Just In Time Training product developed for the National Disaster Preparedness Training Center(NDPTC) at the 2015 World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, Japan. This showcase was a joint initiative of BBC Media Action, Global Network for Disaster Reduction (GNDR), Netherlands Red Cross, Plan International, and the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR). It was an honor to work with Dr. Eddie Bernard, a Nobel Laureate and leading expert on tsunamis, on this project. As always, I'm grateful to the team at NDPTC for the opportunities to work on such impactful projects.

It's been a pretty hectic first half of 2015. Looking forward to even more action in the second half!

We're going national!

Cool bit of news to share. Segments of video that I produced for the National Disaster Preparedness Training Center will be airing nationwide tomorrow morning (5/29/15) at 7:30am on Discovery Channel. Though my footage was used primarily as b-roll, a significant amount of the Innovations show features work I did for NDPTC. The footage spanned from Indonesia to Wisconsin to Puna and even my very own driveway where my hands make a brief cameo flying a DJI Phantom. Mahalo to NDPTC for the opportunity!

2014 Hawaii Gubernatorial Inauguration

I had the honor of supporting today's Gubernatorial Inauguration program.  Though not officially on a photo assignment, I couldn't help but bring a camera to create a brief visual journal of the day.  This was a great opportunity to test out new equipment with amazing access to the venue throughout the event.
