Washington State high school football championship in slow-motion
In shooting the WIAA 4A state championships this year, I decided to try playing around with slow-motion. This is my first attempt at taking video shot at 60 frames per second and slowing it down to 24 frames per second. It was fun and I like the effect, but I think I’ll play more with switching between real time and slow motion on my next project.

A few years ago, Ike Ditzenberger, a Snohomish High School student who has Down syndrome, was beginning to disengage from others. He then joined the football team. Meeting Ike, it was great to see how much he interacts with his classmates. He’s a part of the team. The video below is the story of how Ike scored a touchdown.

Speed climbing attempt on Everest
Especially after reading Jon Krakkauer’s book, “Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster,” it was pretty amazing to see helmet camera video from Chad Kellogg and hear his account of an attempted summit.
