So I gave in and got a new camera. So far I’ve taken a lot of pictures and videos. There’ll be more later on the camera decision and my revised thoughts on why I’m taking photos. In the mean time, here’s the first clip that I’ve posted online (well, my first streamed clip). It was also my first experience with Windows Movie Maker–and I must say it was super painless to rotate the video and give it a title.

As for the characters in the video, they’re Emily and Mike. Emily is one of my favorite people (we used to stay out late dancing every Wednesday…those were the days). Mike is her boyfriend and also one of the most creative dancers I know. This film was taken at Glen Echo on Friday the 13th. There’s nothing particularly special about the video (Mike & Emily are even better when they’re performing) but I just wanted to try this out and capture a fun dance.

I’ve been sorting and deleting over 5000 photos…with the intent of getting down to the most meaningful or creative 1000 or so. It’s a difficult task for a number of reasons. First of all, it tells the tale of so much of your life…and you don’t want to move too fast. Second, some of those stories are from another time and it’s just a little emotional. And lastly, deciding which photos stay is choosing what to say goodbye to certain things.

Two years ago all the Kim pictures came down from the room… (more…)

• 10.16.01 "Go Outside" is posted in Photos, Too

For once I don’t have anything to say. So you have two choices. You can either take a look at my other stuff. Or you can close Internet Explorer, push in your chair, and go outside. As much time as I put into this site, I’d much rather you do the latter. That’s what I’ll be doing for a little while. Below are some reasons to go outside (in College Park). (more…)
