HEAD SPACE 😎️🤯️


I asked Roger Deakins how to become a better cinematographer, he told me to make documentary films. So that is what I have done for the last decade. 

I started a FAN CLUB @EffectsPedalFanClub

I share photographs #shotoniphone @JustinBalog

︎︎︎ #HARDDRIVEOFDREAMS - Years ago...we met two brothers in a parking lot. Both brothers were Lewis n’ Clark larpers, and had planned a historic expeditionon down the mighty snake river to celebrate the original Corps of Discovery. We set out to make a documentary about it, we ended up making this music video.  Our friend, @UltraRomance, joined us.
