Two roads up the same mountain

Which one is yours?

Or just ride. The story underneath carries both.

Movement I / The Game

Football was the way out.

Birmingham raised. Louisville built. Three NFL rooms in four years, special teams captain in Denver, a game ball against the Chiefs.

Then one rep at practice ended everything.

2018 / Denver / Captain

April 2019The Achilles goes at a routine practice. Season over. Career over.

The fallThen a false charge. A $1.5M contract gone overnight. Homeless before the verdict.

The verdictIt came from a camera. The footage told the truth. Not guilty.

Movement II / Called

If a camera can save a life, what else can it do.

Rehab hands picked one up. He failed at video first, learned light through photography, and started shooting for families nobody wanted to photograph.

If you make things for a living, you already know this feeling.If you have ever bet everything on your own name, you already know this feeling.

Movement II / The Reason

Truett.

A boy Dee met shooting for a nonprofit that photographs terminally ill children. His family threw Dee a birthday party. When Truett passed, all Dee had were stills. It was the first time a picture was not worth a thousand words. He switched to motion and never went back.

2020Football called one more time. Drafted 2nd overall by the Tampa Bay Vipers.

The comebackThe best ball of his life, on the league's top defense.

Movement II / April 2020

The game ended twice. The story did not.

COVID folded the XFL mid-season. No whistle. No farewell. Just silence, and a choice.

All in$55K saved shooting anything that moved. One Red Gemini.
