State Street Mile 2012

Before you watch the video here is some behind the scenes insight. When I first reviewed the raw video it was pretty ho-hum. So I decided to make up some sort of story and narrate it. The protagonist in the story, Brooke and her dog Jaxson just happened to be in some of the shots so I decided to incorporate them. Brooke is in my running group and yet another person I like to antagonize. Also notice I reversed the typical point of view of the camera. The forward facing cam is passe. I call this the "wag cam". It is a revolutionary approach and no doubt there will be many copy cats. Scorsese will probably snake my idea and take all the credit.

Circular Rainbow

During my last trip to Hawaii I videoed this helicopter-eye view of a rare circular rainbow of the Napali Coast, Kauai.

Dolphins at Kukio Bay

During our trip to the Big Island we rented underwater scooters. We ran into a pod of spinner dolphins an I managed to get a video of our guide, Stacy, having fun doing some acrobatic tricks. It was pretty cool.

Six Mile Swim

The toughest race in Santa Barbara was made even more difficult by a horrendous current. The swimmers battled all morning and finished a good 30 to 40 minutes slower than their usual times. Here is my short video I shot of the event.

Costa Rica Underwater

Here is some more video I shot last March in Costa Rica. I used the GoPro HD with a custom housing and edited with Apple's new Final Cut X.

See Morgan Run

My ol' girl Morgan and I ran the Santa Barbara State Street Mile.

Fight On!

Who would have guessed the Dalai Lama is a fan of brown shoes.
