Mackinac Island Wedding

View Category It only took eleven months to put this little video together.  Maybe I was afraid to confess one big reason I attended Brian and Lindsey’s wedding, as you’ll plainly see, was just to get back to Mackinac Island.

Happy Birthday to Me!

View Category It doesn’t seem that long ago I wrote my last birthday entry.  This means the years are going by faster or I’m not writing enough.  I suspect the latter.  Therefore I’ll keep the list short this year.
    Here’s what the Detroit Free Press horoscope, written by Holiday Mathis, has to say about my upcoming year:

You really walk your talk this year and make remarkable progress to long held goals.  A strong supporter helps you maintain your motivation.  You’re thinking globally and acting locally through December as you make choices to benefit the planet.  A loved one makes a big affectionate gesture in July.

Nick & Heather’s Wedding (Highlights)

View Category The wedding was last year, and I’m too late for their anniversary, but for some reason I felt compelled this weekend to take my old HD footage and make a mini-movie.

    It took me two days before I got a decent export out of FCP, and the video still doesn’t play too well for me through Vimeo.  Is it playing okay for you?
