Veterans Day 11-11-2020...One year since my Grandpa went to Heaven

11/11/2020

A year ago on Veterans Day my best friend, my Grandpa, left this earth. I miss him everyday. To honor him we went to his favorite places today. We went to JoAnn's restaurant and then went down to the Pacifica Pier were we always went to walk with him. We got a coffee in his favorite Chit Chat Cafe and then hung a lock on the fence, throwing the key in the ocean. I wore my Grandpa's blue Croatan jacket.

This is a photo tag that my mom got me when Grandpa passed last year. The other blue tag is his Navy dog tag.

My Grandpa was ahead of his time with a Selfie in 1946.

His favorite spot in the Chit Chat Cafe.

"Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings"

My name is Alex and I am a enthusiastic independent filmmaker. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I use multiple cameras, from professional full size camera, to DSLR's to capture the moments in life that are meant to be saved as a piece of art. As a college student I entered the Multimedia and Broadcast field. I enjoyed all elements of my education. I focused on documentary work and profiles. I enjoy lighting, filming and editing my work.
I also have a love of photography. I would be happy to work with you to create art on film or photo. I will also like to say thank you very much for visiting my website. Please share it with your friends.
