The Double-take
A while back I did a blog about staring. Bottom line, no matter how many years go by, being stared at is not comfortable. The reason is that it highlights that you, the person being stared at, have something different about you and because of that you need to be put over here in a different group [...]
Who Says I Can’t TV – Maureen
We have a crew of 4 for the shoots. In all action shots we have 3 cameras. In interviews we have 2 cameras and a lighting person as well as a production assistant who runs around making the scene comfortable for all. Here is how this (and probably most) shoots went with Maureen McKinnon last [...]

First 1-legged ascent up Bridger headwall
OK, we don’t know officially if it is first 1-legged ascent but the people that know Jackson Hole well think so. Through good friend, mountaineer, skier and snowboarder extraordinaire Stephen Koch–the first to descend the highest peaks on 6 of the 7 continents on a snowboard (http://stephenkoch.com)–my brother Mike and I had a strong in with [...]
Considering is the most Unforgiving word
Have you ever heard “You do That-thing really well…considering you are a Something-or-other”? And with that, you just got dropped into the Something-or-other bucket. You’re labeled. You’re categorized. Whether you like it or not, you are a Something-or-other. What if it’s a category that’s separate and distinct and maybe stigmatizing? No matter what you do you [...]

I entered the 2011 C.R.A.S.H.-B. (stands for Charles River Association of Sculling Has Beens) indoor rowing championships this year. Something like 2000 rowers from all over the world converge on the Agannis Arena at Boston University for this event.

Crowd-sourcing to fund creative projects
To fund Who Says I Can’t the reality TV series, I am using a two-pronged approach. Our estimated need to create a really super quality pilot is $150,000. That could be done for less but we left some room in that to make sure we can get the best music and graphics which separates the [...]
