Video Editing Exercise

Here is my short intro video.  I filmed it this morning in my tiny apartment.  Filming yourself is very hard!  I did a million takes before I found one that was acceptable.  So enjoy...

Photo Editing Exercise

Here is one photo shown in three different ways.  This photo was taken on June 23, 2012 at the Rock Bottom Remainders show at ALA Annual.  It was  a great time and this was one of the best shots that I got! I chose the "posterize" and "fresco" effects because I thought they went well with the Rock and Roll theme of the photo.

Thoughts on journals...

I have never been the kind of person to keep a journal.  As a kid, I couldn't be bothered to take the time, there was too much to do.  As an adult I decided that there was no reason to because who would ever want to read it? Also, I still couldn't be bothered to take the time!


That feeling changed last week, when one of my 5th grade students gave me this journal.  She decorated it with some of the things that I will see while in London.  She took the time to write a beautiful message to me.  This gift has inspired me.  I can't wait to take it on this journey and begin filling its pages.


This journal will be a keepsake for the rest of my life.  Something I can turn to when I want to re-live a once in a lifetime experience.  I am looking forward to writing about my experiences as I travel, something that never would have happened if not for this thoughtful student.
