This short video was filmed impromptu at a picnic… all using a Motorola Droid X. The quality in the evening is not the best, but it makes for an interesting short.

The two boys and I produced a short film today with Eli’s new camera. He’s been carrying his camera on his belt and taking pictures and videos all day (some nice one’s too!). It’s kind of like the games that kids play about guns and battle and so on and so forth… Enjoy.

The (current) header to this blog is a picture that I took with my wife when visiting a very secluded area in West Virginia. We were staying in a cabin at Harman’s North Fork Cottages which was right on the headwaters of the Potomac. As we were taking a drive one day, I noticed a [...]
