Its turkey time folks. An that means 4 day weekend. Glad its coming. Been a bit busy lately. Not much with side projects or overload work- but just running around seeing folks and doing things. Went camping/hiking in North Georgia 2 weekends ago. Had a blast. It wasn’t too cold yet and it was perfect weather. Found a great campsite, nice stream, and crisp air. Did ten miles- coming back was a bit tiresome. This past week again was really busy getting stuff done around the house, doing life as they say. Went and saw some old friends and the to the UGA football game. Ist game i’ve been to in 3 years. Wow. Its been a while. Great game- took the camera and enjoyed it a lot.
Lately have been into taking photos a lot more. I’ve always done it- since i was a kid. Click click click. Then in highschool found the videocamera. film film film. Actually that was my major in college. So i did it. Loved it. Still love it obviously. But now it seems like the photo camera has popped up again. Why? could it be that video production takes so much time for just one person? I mean think about it. You come up with an idea. You write it. You find a place to shoot. You find a person or thing to shoot. You set the shoot. You do 10 takes of the same thing. x 15 scenes or what ever. You capture footage to computer. You go and go through computer to figure out the best way to edit. You find/create music for project. You put it together. You re-film. You re-edit, you are running out of space on harddrive. You stress (not as much cause I have a PowerMac. 🙂 _ you edit – you clean audio. You finalize. You compress to DVD. You create DVD. You Test DVD. You watch. ….. You give. they watch. Your happy. They like.
Now don’t get me wrong. I like this process. Wouldn’t have done it for so long. But with video – I love doing all of it. Everry part. Its all a great joy to me.
Now i am think a photograph. Humm. A lot of it is the same. It just goes a lot quicker. One image instead of 29 per second. Humm. So its just been very appealing to me lately. I have a good canon camera now- plan on getting a better canon in the coming months. Just waiting to see if anything happens in the market.
But its fun. It seems a little more random and a little more freeing. Unless you are filming a documentary-. So these are my thoughts for now. I won’t give up the video. Got all the gear- just missing some time if you know what i mean.
so here a couple images from my two weekends – hope you enjoy.
