Second Hand Yosemite Smoke

So there's a huge fire in Yosemite right now, and the wind has blown all the smoke from it into my hood. Got some pretty good shots of the sun. They woulda been a lot better if I had a better tripod. Or if I had any inkling of an idea of what the fuck I'm doing... 
Enjoy!

   

Footage From My New Camera

Ok, I FINALLY have some footage I can share with you from my new camera! It's the Canon Vixia HF G30 (why in the fuck do they make the names of these things so long and stupid?). It's about an hour long and kinda boring, but I wanted to do a whole day's worth of shooting so I could give viewers a chance to see how nice this thing looks. Read the description in the video to find out where the highlights are, what I used to edit, etc etc. 

Enjoy! 

   

Just Arrived!

YESSSSS!!!

Those of you that know me well, know that I have wanted a decent video camera for quite some time. Now I finally have one! And it's much more than just "decent". This thing is BAD ASS! Look it up, bitches!

Video Fun Time

This first video was made in the early 2000's and is about my great uncle, Billy Sewell who was killed in action in the Korean War, a lost scrapbook, and how it got reunited with my grandmother.

Some Good, Some Bad, Some Weird

I've put off updating on here for far too long and there's been some major changes around here in the last seven months.

2013 started off with my 101 year old grandmother moving in with us. Despite her age she's in pretty good shape. Her eyesight and hearing ain't too good, but she gets around pretty well on her own and doesn't really need that much help with anything. She makes her own breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday all on her own, and doesn't suffer from mental disabilities usually associated with someone her age, such as alzheimer's or dementia or whatever. 
For the last few years she's had her own apartment in a senior care facility. It was a really nice place, and she had her own room. The reason she moved in with us wasn't due to a health issue or anything like that. She just simply ran out of money. 

Funny Yellow Cars and Birthday Shenanigans

Well God damn! It's been a while since I've updated here. Anyhow. So a couple weeks ago I finally got a job driving a cab in Carson City. A job that I just quit tonight. There simply was no money to be made. In fact, I actually lost money.

Meet Stefanie

I've been friends with Stefanie for about ten years now. We met on the interwebz back in the Myspace days. When we met we both had the same exact kind of car. A Mazda P5. Hers is yellow, and mine was black. We also share the same birthday! 

Stef has the rare fortune to live a few months out of the year in Yellowstone National Park with her fiance', Coty. I really enjoy reading her updates! Her articles are a lot of fun. If you want to know what it's like to live in Yellowstone, check out her HubPages at http://stefa.hubpages.com/, or her blog at http://juststefsluck.blogspot.com/. She hasn't posted on her blog since last November, but there's still some good reading and pictures to check out. You can also follow her on Twitter @GrovesTravels. Enjoy!
