This is a podcast called "The Hair Transplant Roadshow" which I make for Haber Dermatology, located in Beachwood, Ohio. I have no knowledge of dermatology whatsoever but I still find myself super fascinated by the content here, which is presented in a very accessible way to the lay man. These are always fun to edit. Have a listen whether you want to learn something new today or are interested in their services. Dr. Haber is one of the best in the world.

Always fun taking the drone out for a spin downtown. Had to get special permission from Burke airport to be flying around for this particular job. If you have a project that requires drone work, reach out!

Can’t believe this actually worked. Got a little help from some folks at Lakewood hardware who came up with this ingenious way of repairing the arm on my tripod. We’ll see what the test of time brings but I’m stunned at how well it works right now.

Timelapse of the Cleveland 9/7/25. Can you spot the funnel cloud towards the end? I love how the kayakers are just going about enjoying their day while there's a potential vortex death machine in the sky.

Another timelapse from Peru of the clouds parting to majestically reveal a side angle of Machu Picchu. I wish I had held on it a little longer but my lens was beginning to gather moisture and I got nervous. These clouds are just so incredible. I also love looking at the tower in the right lower corner and marveling at how tiny it is in comparison to all the chaos of nature happening around it. We were treated to this amazing view at one of our campsites and got to see the sun set and the sun rise on it the next morning. This was the sunrise.

I really love how our city now has a "Big Four" set of sky scrapers that form a diamond around Public Square (where Superman fought the big monster). This is where one of the diamond corners pointed me...

The Asian Lantern Festival at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is still happening until September 13th! The moving lighted sculptures were absolutely insane! Well worth catching before its gone.

Happy to present the video from the 5 day 5 night Salkantay Trek to Machu Pichu. At 15,522 feet, this was the highest elevation I have yet hiked and the altitude effects were no joke!

I spent months preparing photography and videography gear to come with me over the mountain pass and into the Amazon jungle. I have done a fair bit of backpacking in my life but found myself getting out of it as I got more into photography and wanted to take more of my gear with me. This trip however, was a bit different. We had porters carry a lot of our gear so that we could hike more freely. So I decided to put a lot of my essentials in a bag for my porter and then take all my photography and videography gear with me on the hike. Our tour guide said he had never seen anyone do that before. I may at some point do a whole video on how I managed my gear for this trip because it was quite the challenge.

For this video I used my drone, timelapses off my R5C camera, and my iPhone 16 Pro Max which has the ability to shoot in 4k Pro Res Log. Although not always as good as the full cinematic cameras I have, I was still pleasantly surprised at how well it did. I had the phone slightly rigged up with a variable ND filter and SSD for storing the large Pro Res files. Prepping the right battery charging gear for all of my equipment was also a difficult. Expecially because most of the campsites had little to no power.

Overall happy with the way this video turned out. I didn't have much of a plan when I shot all this. I had thought about storyboarding before going on the hike but I didn't want that to take me out of the experience. I was really glad I did that because the people I hiked with were incredible. So I overall enjoyed myself and didn't stress out too much about getting certain shots.

This video was the best narrative I could string together with all of the randomness that I captured. Hope you enjoy.

Video Needs was in the news Monday. Check out the interview I did on the documentary I am doing for the restoration of Saint Theodosius Russian Orthodox Cathedral. The shots during my interview were also done by me. Link to the already-finished fundraising video below. Also linking the fundraising page. If you are moved, feel free to donate.

A fire in May 2024 caused significant damage to the building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
