aquarium

This is footage from my first (and most likely last) visit to the Georgia Aquarium.

camping

This is footage from a recent camping trip I took with my friends to the North Georgia mountains. Although I wish I had more footage (my camera died), I am happy with the video and its somewhat dark and moody feel.

it's too bad

I wish I was still an avid poster of videos. I used to have my camera attached to my hand, however, it's been months since I've turned it on.

While I ride MARTA or am hanging out with friends, I still think silently to myself "that would make a great shot!," only now it never seems to get captured, let alone uploaded.

I am not quite sure what happened. Maybe it was the influx of online videos and the proliferation of YouTube, the "everyone is doing it, so it's not cool anymore" phenomenon that made me quit capturing my precious video clips.

I managed to ostracize myself from the vlogging community, and I am certainly regretful of that. I am sorry to my (as of now nine) subscribers, and mostly to myself. I got out of the habit of recording small segments of my life and sharing them with you all, and I doubt I will ever be able to resurrect this video blog to its former "glory."

I am pursuing a degree in Film and Video at Georgia State University, however, it seems to be sucking from me all of my video-making passion, my urge to find that one-of-a-kind camera angle, that rush I used to get when I would share unique never-before-seen occurrences.

I am blaming a university, when I should be blaming myself. I let that thrill die, that fragile spark disappear. I hope that I can somehow get that back, for if not, I have lost an innate part of my being, one that I would be saddened to see, after all these posts, vanish.

late night in hotel room

The TV and a view through the "peep hole" on the (hopefully stable) steel door.

when you enter reality

I have been postponing this for as long as possible but it gets much harder as you get older.

sam's town

This is from a trip on Labor Day weekend. I've had it done since around that time but for some reason the sound was way off after I saved the video but I finally got everything working right.

hilton head

This video is from a little summer trip to Hilton Head Island. I don't know, I hope it turned out good- I think something that messed me up was that I was just taking videos instead of thinking of the end result, or something like that. I tried to be really careful with the level of sounds in the videos so they wouldn't cover up the song.
