It all started with one TV show. The show that pulled me in the most was Stringers LA on Tru Tv!Which at this time is no longer on. I do believe that Tru TV is moving more a-long the lines of made up shows then showing True things that happen. Shows like  "Southern Fried Stings, Operation Repo, All Worked Up" I mean its a joke that they would end a show that shows the men that shoot most of the

One of the hardest videos I have ever shot for freelance videos. When the call came out I do what I always do. Jump out of bed put some crazy looking pants on a shirt and my shoes and hit the door. Now I'm not a firefighter nor a police officer or EMT worker but yes sometimes I put my life on the line to get the best shot. Sometimes I have to see some of the worst stuff also. Now I know I don't

  So during the Packers and the Patriots game Lineman Dan Connolly of the Patriots runs a kick return back for 71 years and gets tackled right near the end-zone. So close to a touchdown, but "WOW" this guy is running his life out. He is just thanking please let me get down the field faster. Which he did, maybe now some Lineman will step up there game and we can see some better football games.
