February 2006


Here’s a video compilation I made about a year ago for our wedding on Oct 23, 2004. One of the bridesmaid’s boyfriend shot some digital video during the photo session at the Green Park Inn in Blowing Rock right before the wedding. Be sure to turn your speakers on to get “the full effect” with the music. The 2nd selection, Billy Joel’s She’s Always A Woman To Me, was mine and Alisha’s first dance at the reception. The video is a few minutes long and may be a bit slow to buffer and download, espeically if you are on a slow connection.

If you haven’t already (and of the few people that read this, I’m sure most of you have) you can check out our wedding photo gallery on our wedding site.

I also uploaded a second wedding video to YouTube. It is a compilation of our engagement portraits, and I made it as kind of a joke, just fooling around with iMovie on my new Mac. The music has some, ummm, questionable lyrics, so some in my target audience may not wish to view it, or maybe just turn your speakers down if you don’t want to hear it. Let’s just say, if I say the words “50-Cent”, and you think I’m talking about a silver coin, then the music probably isn’t for you. If you’re down with the G-Unit, however, check it out! ;)

I’ve added a new Video category to the blog where I will cross-post videos that are hosted on Google Video or YouTube.com. These are both great services you can use to upload and share videos for free - you don’t have to worry about compressing, changing formats, hosting, etc - they do it all for you. Any new blog post containing a video will show up as a regular post, but they will also be accessible using the new “Videos” link at the top of the page, or using the “Videos” category in the category chooser in the right side-bar.

I have several videos taken over the past year, but I’ll start off with a short clip of Dave snowboarding at Ski Welt last weekend. Check out this gallery to see all the pictures from the weekend.
