Sorry, I've been a bit focused on other things. Here's a brand new video from today, January 23, 2015.

The Las Vegas Strip - December 2011 (in HD)

Fun with the iPhone 4S suction-cup mounted to the windshield.
About 40 seconds to ride from the South Las Vegas Strip to the North and back.
Recorded: December 21-25, 2011.

10 Minutes: A Drive in Chicago (HD video in only 60 seconds)

With the iPhone 4S suction-mounted to the rear, driver's side passenger window,
this is a drive from the Kennedy Expressway's Damen on-ramp to Ohio & Clark Street.

It's just a little experiment for some video I plan to shoot in the coming weeks.
Stay tuned!

Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii - 1998

Finally edited my Hi8 Video from March 23-27, 1998.

Primarily a business trip, but I took my camcorder along.



Watch on YouTube.

Highlights: Diamond Head viewed from the airport, my hotel, Waikiki Beach and the air. Waikiki Beach sunset, surfers and a bit of the Royal Hawaiian and Sheraton Waikiki (where the Brady Bunch stayed on their show and where I stayed in 1978). Pearl Harbor and the Arizona Memorial. The King Kamehameha statue and the gates of the Iolani Palace.

Walt Disney World - 1972



My first visit to Walt Disney World was in October 1972.  (I originally believed this film was from April 1973, as a second visit to Walt Disney World, but upon review of photos of my 1972 visit, I now believe the film is actually six months earlier.) My father shot one roll of 8 mm film -- that's about 3 minutes of film -- of our visit (though I've cut out the family shots except for me interacting with a blinking Goofy).

In this silent digitized video (with music by YouTube's AudioSwap) of that film, you'll see:

Topiaries in front of the Contemporary Resort on the Seven Seas Lagoon.

A sign for the "World Cruise" on the Seven Seas Lagoon & Bay Lake.

An outdoor band stage with Bambi's friends Flower and Thumper dancing.

The 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Submarines

Brief views of Frontierland, Liberty Square and Adventureland from near where Splash Mountain now sits, including a view of The Haunted Mansion which is no longer possible from the original Walt Disney World Railroad station in Frontierland. Of course, there was no Big Thunder Mountain either.

The river was drained during this visit, so there is no steamboat in the Magic Kingdom, but the burning cabin was ablaze, some of the scenes along the river are in place near the railroad tracks, the skyway's 90º turn is completely unobstructed and operating and the speedway has no Space Mountain next door.

Toy Story Midway Mania

The iPhone App unlocked the bonus feature here.

It did not unlock at the convention center, Disneyland Hotel, Disneyland Drive or Katella.

Enjoy the video of a singing spud.


I had the privelege to see Don Rickles in person a few months ago. He puts on a great show -- especially for a guy in his 80s.

Magical - Disney's New Nighttime Fireworks Spectacular

Look carefully, you'll see Tinker Bell flying around the castle (or so it appears).

This was captured on an iPhone 3GS with my left hand.

I was capturing HD Video with my camcorder on my right hand.
