Graham Fielder

Graham Fielder
There are times when the blog just rolls off the keyboard.....

I was in Lexington, Kentucky yesterday working on a project at the Magic Frog Studio.. I knew that my friend, Tom Fielder, had a son who is, amongst other talents,  a videographer and had made several music videos over the past few years. Being a school day, I asked Tom if he could come by and shoot a bit of 'the making of' footage for the project I am working on. I knew how talented Graham was as he has previously come out on various road projects I working on to shoot archival footage. But I had never actually watched him work in close quarters.

The point of this post is how wonderful to see a young man follow a dream and in a very humble way......taking nothing for granted....always well mannered and a fly on the wall - which is difficult at best with the video gear he was using.....It will be fun to watch him over the coming years to see what he gets into - whatever it is I am sure it will be successful...Graham kindly posed for a few test images - one of which is above.

Graham had a video premier last night on YouTube:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Spy9SiOPDCg. There are several Graham videos on YouTube but the 'Motives' video was last night premier...


PS: Did I mention Graham is high school senior and 17 years old.....I am a huge fan....

High Bridge Kentucky


Spent the past two days in Lexington, Kentucky with some friends, the Fielders, Tom, Elizabeth, Graham and Vaughn. Did a bit of sightseeing and also made a few images but mostly we tooled around looking at this amazing part of the country.

Today we went out looking for images and ended up at the High Bridge of Kentucky. This is a railroad bridge built in 1876. The bridge is 275 feet high and 1,125 feet long. The High Bridge is highest railroad bridge and was designed by John Roebling best know for the Brooklyn Bridge.
