Looking good! Hey, one little tip--put your blog URL at the end of your video posts to remind viewers of the blog it came from. If people are watching in iTunes, for example, it just reminds them about the website. Otherwise, I'm so excited to see you vlogging!

this reminded me of when I first got my digi-cam(MP4) how I was testing it's tracking ability, working with motion. I'd hold it against my handlebars and see how steady a shot I could get, it's tough, but you managed quite well. I've never been down to Sugar Bottoms, but that trail looks really nice. I loved hearing your thought process, kinda overlap the action, or "lack of" as you insisted on eventful reminiscents to document. I know, the camera preserves those things, I'm guilty of the same addiction, not out of vanity or fame, since seldom any of my pics capture the photographer, but something distinct to his environment or personality, their is a reflection of self in what I shoot, something psychological that the viewer has a fleeting glimpse of, if they're lucky. I totally feel your work, I love the overlap of thought and motion, how it's like this obsessive-compulsive thought process, or like my insomniac mind, trying to do something productive at even the most ungodly hours of night. sometime, when I finish shooting, researching and doing my studio work, I'd love to have you over for dinner. you can see where and how I work, obsessively and vigilantly on socially reactive pieces. I think of those in the military: victims of the institution: women and men; how many of them claim their lives were stolen, how they have to redeem themselves in speaking after bearing the silence and ridicule. My heart goes out to those who struggle against oblivion, making statements with utter passion, depicting the human condition by capturing it in its entirity of psychological and emotional expression. I'm so jealous, I want a vlog :) YOU ROCK!!!!
