Moon Over Monterey

So, a couple weeks ago, I splurged and bought a new camcorder. It’s one of those hybrid camcorders that records to a digital card in high-definition. (Aiptek A-HD 720P hybrid camcorder for the geeks out there. It’s quite cheap and quite cool.)

About a week ago I was flying down to Anaheim for a conference for work. There were some lovely clouds out the window long about the time we were over Monterey Bay, which I decided to shoot some video of. This is a still from that video. (OK, I added the moon from a photo I took a year or so ago, but it was a full moon the day I was flying. Just not on the horizon at the time I was flying. But the moon looks so damn pretty there, doesn’t it?) I

’ve been shooting a fair amount of video with this new camcorder from moving vehicles. There’s some from the MUNI train here in the City, some from the plane. Some from an escalator. Maybe I’m working on a project I didn’t realize -- some sort of Planes, Trains and Automobiles video essay.

We’ll see what comes together.

Meantime, welcome to my blog.
