This year my friend Christina and I have been making videos. We think of a theme and go from there. We decided on the theme light for this video collaboration. I’m nervous to share this video because I speak in it. To hear my voice is not something I especially like and I recorded it on my iPhone and this makes it especially non-professional. I’m not a professional video maker I’m a memory maker so it’s OK.
I was excited when we picked this theme of light because as a photographer light is my favorite subject. Shifting light is like a meditation and I’m grateful for light. I truly can’t imagine this life without it. Light gives life and I wanted to honor that in my video. I was happy that when we decided to make this project our son would be in town visiting and he could be a part of the memory. My most favorite part is the ending of this video, it features all three of our gifts. They are by the sea and in the light together. This in itself makes a mom’s heart glad. I can’t wait to see Christina’s video of light because she is always thoughtful, artful and her videos move me. We normally do not follow many guidelines. We can use whatever recording device we wish, we edit with different programs and we live in completely different states which is so interesting to me. I love to see her surroundings. I have never been to her state.
I hope you will enjoy what we have to share. It’s an honor to be able to share freely what I believe and what’s important to me with my friends and family.
It’s a video protected by a password. You probably already know what it is. Just type in the word love and you can view it. The song was discovered about 4 years back, it’s called “so long, lonesome” by Explosions in the Sky.
