Freelance news in Dallas/Fort Worth is not a very good market to make a living like in the LA market. I do not recommend getting into this business here as you will not make any money unless it is a spectacular video. This is more of a hobby, or way to gain experience in the video market here.

All videos are available to law enforcement for legal prosecution at no cost.
All videos are available to private civil legal cases for a small fee.

As of 2012 my primary purpose is to provide videos to the local Fire & Police departments. If it is a type of situation that would call for selling the video to a news agency it is secondary. I have shot multiple videos in 2012 that have not been uploaded to Youtube as they have been provided to the Fire Marshal. If and when these videos are releases, they may be uploaded to Youtube.

See DFW section for list of 2012 videos available.

Available for private hire with full HD video or Digital SLR
* SONY HVR-V1U: 1080HD & 24p capability for creating film-like video
* Olympus E500 Digital SLR

  City of Brookfield accident, River Road and Barker. Vehicle accident near railroad tracks, but train did not hit vehicle. This was a close boarder between Town and City of Brookfield at the time. Both departments were called. Taken in or around 1992.
 

  Town of Brookfield and this was taken in 1993 and was aired on the local news. Location was at the creak on Brookfield Road just south of Bluemound. (This was my former fire department, but shot before I joined the department)
 

  Town of Pewaukee taken at Waukesha Area Technical College. The accident was near here, on Pewaukee Road and this was the closest location for Flight For Life to land. Taken in 1995 I believe and was aired on the local news.
 

  Accident in Carrollton Texas with Care Flight were a pedestrian hit by train. This was taken in 2003 and aired on Channel 8 WFAA, but I never got paid by Channel 8, they owe me $50. This was shot with a simple Sony Handycam, my TRV-11 that I still have today as a backup camera.
