I just finished editing a video called "photogiraffe." Hopefully there's enough internet juice at the hotel in Manizales, Colombia to upload. I started sifting through B-role, organizing clips into neat little folders and rough editing a few videos. I don't think there's enough time to do what I want to do while on this trip.  If you didn't catch the new video or see some of the photos of the South American trip, click here.  (I'm into Day 5 of 10)

The quality of the video and audio is fairly kick butt since the days of using a Canon Powershot. I'll have to get to it when I return to Medellin. 5 more days of photography (today was a bit of a relaxed day and catch up on internet; Rob just leaned over and said, "I'm having withdraws from not shooting today."

Stay tuned. I'm showing everything...I'm not holding back. 33% 33% 33% 1% rule (technical, creative, gear and luck) This trip proves if you focus on your strengths, things happen.

I decided to kick off the year with a 10 day photography adventure in the coffee region of Colombia.  Last year I spent a good portion of my time working around the globe and teaching workshops (including teaching a 3 day workshop on CreativeLIVE and giving several presentations at my favorite camera store, B&H Photo).  I have had a lot of creative ideas floating around in my head and needed a personal project to help bring some of ideas to fruition.  Colombia has always fascinated me because of the incredibly diverse culture and sheer beauty of the country;  I'm excited to be back in South America doing what I love most (SHOOTING!!!). To top it all off, I'm shooting video of the whole trip!

I'm looking for two people for a unique opportunity and adventure in South America.  Follow me on a 10 day photographic journey:  photo shoot with models, old Spanish pueblos, a little partying with locals, indigenous Indians, visiting friends that own a coffee finca, and non-stop fun with photography/travel.  If you are up to the challenge, call me or email me.  Departure date:  January 20th

Happy Holidays to everyone!  Stay tuned new videos and a few surprises for 2012!!!!

I just returned from a shoot in Mexico and here is one the model took of me while setting up the lights.  BTS video coming soon.

Everyone else does it.  I've been getting more creative than just a Westcott these days. But, I'm still a minimalist when it comes to travel. Here's what it's in the ThinkTank when I'm not on the road (no particular order):
