🪶 This whole video was graded with my new RAMBLER LUTs! ↠ cammacky.com/store/p/roadrunnerlumix-sn6n5
In this video, I drive out to Arizona to link up my old friend Ben Christensen. He's one of the best humans I know, but also one of the most creative talented artist that I know. Our lives run in parallels in many ways, yet we have created drastically different opportunities while remain authentic and honest with ourselves. When I showed up, Ben brought out both of his Harleys and told me to pick one. We hit the road to a ranch where we played a round of pool and talked about the number one question that we both get.. BRANDING. Oh, and we binded iver our lcoe for the Leica Q3s!
