This video made me laugh and cry all at once. So inspiring...and - yes - I am curious to try video out for myself.
Fantastic and very creative piece!!!

I bought a D90 for the same reason. Very powerful video..

Video is very difficult for me and I wasn't expecting that, to be honest, and my attempts have been very humbling. It's so different from still photography, and I admire people who have a natural affinity for it. It's one of the things that I want to work on the hardest, though. What I underestimated the most? The need for disk space, memory and TIME to edit and post. This was one of the biggest struggles of my journalism program.

It's so worth it, though, when you can capture things like this and people and places you need never forget as you met them. I wish I had more from Vietnam - I'm glad you have this.

Actually I most treasure some clips I took of my grandmother before she died. I highly recommend capturing footage of loved ones, anything you'd truly like to remember.

there is a certain beauty in still photos and also beauty in those that move. i only have a little flip video recorder (nothing on my nikon) and i find myself gravitating towards it when i need to capture sound in real life. those moments i don't want to forget when life is at it's all time best and i can't imagine anything being more beautiful than where we are right now.

Thanks for this. It fills me up.

so sweet.

I love this. The song has special meaning for me, and I needed it this morning--impeccable timing, as always, for the messages coming through from this blog.

I think we're all born with the shameless curiosity these kids show here, and that so many of us have lost it (why????) as we have grown. I hope for their sakes that they never lose that. I hope for our sakes we can relearn this way of being.

this video is full of meaning and touches my heart!
here some my moving pictures...

You have a gift, my dear. This is something special and it made me smile big to get a chance to peek into the lives of these kids. When we were at the park today, I thought of this post and captured a few silly moments of my littlest two.

Thank you, ladies. Appreciate you sharing your thoughtful comments and moving pictures.

I too have been struggling with the video aspect of my art. I never wanted to be the one who was never a part of the picture. But... I have been thrown over the edge. My daughter is now on a training team for Olympic Swimming and I have decided that my still pictures just don't seem to capture the excitement of a race that is won by 1/100 of a second! I have all of these pictures of her swimming but to be honest, if I didn't write down what event she was swimming at what point in her career, I would have no idea what meet they were from. I now am the proud owner of a hand held vidoe recorder and I can now replay all of those races over and over and relive that excitement. So I say go for it!

Your images make me laugh and cry and the same time, like another person commented. I only hope to take a trip someday to Rwanda to make some memories.
