Basically I post things here that distract me from the real world and most likely work that I should be doing. Thanks for visiting the site!
This is the logo that I came up with to represent my site for my online portfolio of work. I have owned the name for quite a while and have just now started to use it. artcola: now that’s refreshing!

This year, I had the amazing privilege to go with the Hillcrest Students to El Salvador, Central America. I went to shoot video and photos to document the mission. It was an amazing time and God did a tremendous work while we were there. Hillcrest has a partnership with an orphanage in the coastal city of La Libertad about an hour down the mountain from the large city of San Salvador.
This is the logo that I designed and was used on T-shirts and bags that we had made for each participant on the mission team. El Salvador is a very tropical and mountainous typographical area, and heavily inspired the logo as you can see. Being that it was for a student team, I could be a little more edgy with the look of the logo and make something that is geared toward that demographic more than any other.

You don’t have to know me long to know that I am a big fan of Apple Computers, and I love working with Macs. Currently I manage a small network of 10 Macs, and with the amazing development of the Mac OS X software changes over the years have made it even easier to connect one Mac to the other, even Macs to PC communication is easier.

Back from Fall Retreat and amped up, the Pier Band rocked it at tonight worship. Lights, speakers, and the first strum of the guitar resonated without a glitch.
Included are some photos of the venue, and the production team at work. About two years ago we had the funding to update the video, sound, and lighting. Greg Klimetz was responsible for all features sound related, and really ramped up the quality with a JBL line array.
Delta Stage Lighting of Nashville Tennessee came down and helped us with an install on our lighting system. The installed and programmer 8 color scrollers, and a number of par cans and elipsode fixtures. An ETC Smartfade 48 is the lighting console we use each week, and is a great fit for a small system.
I was involved in the video/production and IMAG design of the upgrade and we added two 7 x 10 screens and 3 new Eiki LC-XB22 2000 lumen projectors all around. We run two video production switchers, an Edirol V-4 for 3 cameras and a video source, and a Panasonic WJ-MX50 4 input switcher to switch between the camera switcher output and an iMac running ProPresenter and Keynote for lyrics, videos, notes, and other media presented at events.
Each week I lead a team of highschool student leaders who volunteer their time to run the equipment. We use two Panasonic HVX200 cameras, and one DVX100A for IMAG, and live video to enhance to experience and make it more engadging to teens.
