The weekend was full of wonderful events:

1. Friday night bowling
2. Saturday barbecue
3. Sunday wedding
4. Monday brunch

It is hard to capture it all.

Below you will see a highlight reel of the celebration.

Next up… video of the reception where everyone danced up a storm!!.. Stay tuned.

In the Berkshires on June 28, 2009, Rebecca & Justin got married. This is the first of several projects I did for the newlyweds. This video was done with a Flipvideo Mino ( not hd). I am trying to learn video editing so I can combine video with stills.

Next up I am editing the stills and will integrate them with the video. I also have video footage of the reception.

Stay tuned.

Off Topic but very important.

I get the feeling that the government does not know what to do about the economy. The government continues to spend money in the hopes that it will inflate asset values. What it should be doing s deleveraging the system: converting debt to equity.

Nassim Taleb, author of “The Black Swan” has got it right.

Listen to him in his own words:

Troy is a pug. Andrew and Gabrielle adopted him recently. Today is his first birthday. We are always up for parties and took Brinley, Devon and Josh to treat Troy to the proper family birthday celebration complete with decorations, pizza, cake and a pinata.

Today was Brinley’s last day of school. To celebrate, the school had a field day with games and summer time activities for the whole school followed by a hot dog lunch.

I shot this with a Fuji F200exr point and shoot camera for both the stills and the movie clips. Movie clips were edited in Quicktime, the stills were edited in Lightroom and the entire show was compiled with Fotomagico3

Happiness is being parents and grandparents. Our dear friends Gene and Sandy help their daughter Terri and son in law Tom celebrate the first birthday of their daughter Alexis at Mountain Lake Park in San Francisco

Many more happy birthdays !!!

I have been using SmugMug for 4 years. They recently added video. I previously have used both Vimeo and Viddler. This is a sample created with Fotomagico 3 which allows me to combine video with stills. The still quality is not as good as a flash gallery. Secondly, the video does not play well on slower machines.
