Thank You, Darling | The Survival Gardener

I just had to take a moment to thank my camerawoman.

Rachel has been such a trooper getting our videos recorded. She does a great job learning the equipment, working on shots and trying to find interesting angles. Sometimes it’s hard for her to get down low because of her current delicate condition, but she does it anyhow, getting those awesome shots like a boss.

As I’ve moved into using vintage lenses, she has learned those as well. She now prefers the manual focus lenses to the new autofocus ones and over the last few weeks has gotten much better at using them. It’s tricky to get perfect focus and learn how to use the different focal lengths on prime lenses. Both of us had some failed experiments in the beginning, but it’s coming together and the character of the footage is beautiful.

You know… I think I may be in love with my camerawoman.

Today we head to town for her mid-pregnancy ultrasound appointment. It’ll be fun seeing our baby. Have a great day. I’ll be posting the latest video shortly.
