July 4, 2025 In the Wee Morning Hours, Letter to a Respected Friend

Happy 4th of July to those that celebrate it and happy holiday on a Friday going into a weekend.

I continue to have my employment and my network of support from past and present bosses, family and friends and those who have significantly impacted my professional journey.  My next math refresher class will start July 7^th for the summer quarter. I would like to take more classes at a time, but my full-time job constrains me slightly to how much I can do at each time. 

Also, I've decided to create an LLC of my video company.  I am losing ideas of what to shoot though there is much in the Pacific Northwest, so I thought I would welcome outside influences maybe to create further ideas to challenge growth with my little collective of friends from different walks of life.  Perhaps a newfound camera crew willing to grow with each experience of different people in the Pacific Northwest.  I have my video editing instructor online when I need to learn new things outside of the norm. 

I want to learn too many things at one time.  I want to learn technical directing, not necessarily to do that full time but to know how to do it. I want to learn the new technology of cameras in the newsroom and outside of the newsrooms. I have a PXW-Z90 but it is nothing compared to the new newsrooms out there.  I have a lot of power and I'm accessible to a lot of technology at home that I am not using. It's a learn as you go phenomenon for me. I wish I could learn it all at once, but I must be patient. 

I seemed to have been searching for a mentor of sorts subconsciously I discovered in one of my meditative moments. I've had them in the past for different things that I have done, and I have done many things. I am careful as I don't want to be locked into something I wasn't prepared to be locked into. 

Those are a few significant things I shared with my support network, so I also shared it with you.  I hope this finds you well and that you and your family have a wonderful 4th of July holiday. Thank you.
