Nice chill days with friends, couldn’t help but take advantage of the situation. Anywho, really glad I did, I feel like they came out great considering it wasn’t a planned shoot at all. Hope you all enjoy and expect more to come soon!</p>http://bryanrafferty.tumblr.com/post/50589752885http://bryanrafferty.tumblr.com/post/50589752885Thu, 16 May 2013 14:26:23 -0400<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/61816316" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>So been focusing a lot on video production these days. My side project Less Than Sponsored has been super motivated with the nice weather lately. I haven’t forgotten to flip the switch for some pics but have been having fun getting a lot of footage for videos like this. Really enjoying the editing process, it’s been appeasing my OCD in a big way. Hope you all enjoy!</p>http://bryanrafferty.tumblr.com/post/46944084351http://bryanrafferty.tumblr.com/post/46944084351Tue, 02 Apr 2013 12:37:59 -0400boulderinglincoln woodslessthansponsoredltsrhode islandclimbingvideo<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/60926074" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>Here is a video I did for my side project Less Than Sponsored.
