Abandoned Icon: In the spirit of Throwback Thursday, sometimes I see things in my travels and become instantly intrigued. This old farmhouse in Genesee County... is one of those subjects. This place dates back to the early 1840’s, belonged to one of the first settlers in Alabama, NY and must have been magnificent back in the day. I saw it recently, quickly turned around and captured this shot from the roadside. See more

At last month's Lightstar demo we were stoked to try out these new LUXED LED lights. Compared to conventional Tungsten fixtures, these 9-lights have a high qual...ity LED output with low power draw. Featured here is the LUXED-9 as well as the LUXED-12, the strongest of the series. These lights allow you to control intensity, color temperature and individual panels easily through wired or wireless DMX control via Lumenradio. Go 0-100% when dimming and adjust color temperature continuously between 2800K-6500K. Head over to our Instagram to check out those individual panels in action, or hit us up if you're looking to test these out before renting! #lightstarluxed #ExpresswayPHL #ExpresswayUSNY #phillyfilm #upstatefilm #setlighting #gaffer #ledlights #lightstarprofessional #lightstar #lightingandgrip #gripandelectric #lightingrental #luxed12 #luxed9

60 Seconds of Serenity (#298): Each day I am sharing 60 seconds of nature to help take the edge off during these stressful times. This may be adding to the ...edge rather than taking it off. Call it exhilaration rather than serenity as serious force was pouring over Buttermilk Falls along Oatka Creek in LeRoy, NY today (Genesee County). The winter rain has jump started this stream in a big wayenormous difference compared to my visit there four weeks ago. Thanks to Vertigo Drones for the superb guidance in flying the Typhoon H Plus.
