Drop Ins — Ski Flyers

When my backyard freezes it means drop-in skiplanes. Unfortunately, I never catch their landings because they text me as they're taxiing up to my shoreline: "Just landed on the lake. You home?"

It's cool. I love it. Come visit anytime. I'll film you with my iPhone and make more salvage shorts.

Local Sighting: The Ascender

Video | 2 years ago

Reuploaded uncropped. Damn the Devil's aspect ratio. Left it on Instagram. Sad news: I did not get to go for a ride with Alec in the Ascender when he dropped in to my airport. Was all set to shoot some action but experienced some aeroelectrical setbacks so ...

1 Minute Film: Doorways

Review | 6 years ago

Locked down, digging through the unused old stuff! 6 years ago, some miles south of Fort Nelson, British Columbia, we ran into some rain/snow showers that were...just right. Not too oppressive, but beautiful and fun to weave around, like a valley of waterfa...
