cw: Grief, Cancer

Link in Bio for best viewing.

I finally created something concrete, just for myself, in the first time in almost two years.

Eighteen Months, shot between May 2021 and November 2022, showcases a short yet extremely significant period of my life. Just as the hope and optimism peaked following the rollout of the Covid vaccines and return to normalcy, my beautiful Mom, Ebit Speers, ended treatments after nearly 30 years of off-and-on battles with her rare form of Cancer, Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC). My mom lived a life of contagious joy and gratefulness, with the emphasis placed on family, friendships old and new, and being in the great outdoors. Eighteen Months is a study into finding happiness and meaning even in the most difficult circumstances. This film is dedicated to Ebit Speers, and was Mastered on Mother’s Day, May 14, 2023, exactly 18 months following her funeral. by @sam_mccrmck

Celebrated my 30th birthday about a month early this past weekend with my Dad, and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. For those of you who don’t know, my first love before video or skateboarding was aviation.
When I was about 4 years old, my Dad solved his “midlife crisis” by getting a Private Pilot’s License. Ever since, I’ve spent a couple hundred hours in the right seat of Cessna 172’s, Piper Warriors and other single engine airplanes, and dreamed one day of getting my license or even flying for the airlines or the military. The last time my Dad and I flew together was in 2010. In late 2017, I was diagnosed with Epilepsy, all but guaranteeing that my dream would not become reality. This, and my Mom’s death in 2021 are the two events in my life that have caused the most heartache.
This past weekend, I came the closest to making my dream a reality, I was treated to not one, but two sessions at the Delta Flight Museum’s Boeing 737-200 simulator, formerly used by airline pilots for recurrent training. These simulators are as close to flying as it gets, all the motion & inertia, being bounced around in turbulence, everything FEELS real. Our second session, we had the honor of being instructed by Rudy, a retired airline pilot who shared how he personally knew many of the Tuskegee Airmen, which made our visit to the Tuskegee Airmen Museum later that day special in a small-world sense. Rudy had me fly and try to land in a thunderstorm, and he absolutely knocked my ego down a few notches!
If the weekend wasn’t perfect enough, the cherry on top my first time experiencing the infamous Expressway approach into Runway 31 at LaGuardia, where you follow the BQE and LIE and make a final series of turns onto the final approach course at under 1000 feet around Flushing Meadows Park and Downtown Flushing.
This was a hell of way to wrap up my twenties, and in times of general uncertainty, I’m so grateful to have both people and activities that can bring me joy, and for the memory that will last a lifetime. by @sam_mccrmck
