Bird and Sutro Tower

Again prooving that the best camera is the one you have with you, I
just shot this with my phone when walking home from Safeway.

Of course nice photos are pretty easy to take when you live in San
Francisco....

Moon in Edwardian Window

Was walking home the other evening and happened to see the moon
reflected in the window of this grand old building on Castro Street.

Video EDITING on my iPhone

videoEverything you are reading and watching here was handled on my phone:
shooting the video; speeding a shot up; editing and titling;
rendering; compressing; and composing this post. Nothing went out to
a computer.

The video processing and editing was done with two apps by Nexvio,
available in the app store. Many smart phones can shoot video, but
I'm not aware of any that can edit it, aside from the iPhone. These
apps are dead simple to use, and the results are quite lovely.

They're promising the ability to add music and narration in an
update. (The current version only adds whatever sound was recorded at
the time the video was shot -- there's audio on this clip; it's just
that I shot these pretties when it was quiet.)

Is that a production studio on your pocket, or are you just happy to
see me?

Didn't I Just Leave This Party?

Travel for work. Rainy day. Bad combo....

Carl Sagan Still Inspires Me



This video is a remix from Cosmos and, it seems, Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time. (In case anyone wonders, I had nothing to do with its creation, though I would be proud to have.)

Cosmos inspired me as a teen, and it's wonderful to see that it still can inspire me today.

Enjoy. And if you think to, check out the artist's page. He's pretty amazing.

A still more glorious dawn awaits....
