I'm not speaking about the type of resolutions where you quit smoking, lose weight, stop eating junk food, etc. however good those may be. Nay, I'm speaking about the resolutions I made to myself the beginning of 2010 of goals and things I wanted to do for my video related interests.

He's all around pretty awesome when you check out his blog, his gear store, etc. I was talking to my video cohort Kylee when she suggested we try to shoot something around Indy in his style.

There's something I really love about his…
