"This was my first foray into the world of DSLR video, the wonderful technology that gives this HD video that beautiful filmic look with lush depth of field, something that I could never get with my camcorder. In this case, I worked with video shooter Chad Leathers and his Canon 7D camera.

The subject was the kite racing fleet of Miami, including champion kiter Damien Leroy. We shot this video during the 2011 Miami OCR, along with some other features centered around Miami, FL." —Chris Love
