After discussing the possibility of pursuing my art career with my wife, I've decide to shut down Digital Boondocks for now. I have had a great run working with some amazing folks like the California Endowment, Soil Born Farms, the City of Elk Grove and others. I'll continue to work on personal projects that are important to me, but nothing commercially. If you're curious about my art, you can check it out here on FB. Thanks again everyone for your support and business!

Finishing up a video on the Sacramento City Urban Ag Ordinance for the CA Endowment. Meeting some great folks with amazing projects that are revitalizing their community around healthy food access and gardens.
It's been a crazy month with two video projects cooking: The CA Endowment Urban Ag Ordinance video and the Crocker Art Museum's Block by Block video. I'm getting some great interviews with individuals and organizations that helped to get the Sacramento City Urban Ag Ordinance passed last year and the rough is taking shape. The Crocker video is almost a year long documentary about the Block by Block initiative and follows three artists selected to create artworks within Sac City District 2, 5 and 8. Will post once I'm done with both!
Had the pleasure of shooting some footage during one of We Diggit Urban Gardens install. We Diggit, with the help of volunteers creates urban gardens in residential yards. Recipients pay forward by volunteering in future builds. Photo-Judith Yisreal, Yisreal Family Farms.
It was nice to see the video I'd been working on shown at Soil Born Farms "School Garden Symposium." The video is about using gardens to teach Social Emotional Learning (SEL) skills and gardens creating career pathways from elementary through college. the video was funded by the California Endowment. Filming 4th graders mentoring and teaching their Kinder Buddies. Pacific Elementary.
