Have Video Camera, will travel?





Being a video producer, I almost always take my video camera with me everywhere.. so it came as a surprise to a few friends that I did NOT take it with me on a recent hike to Feather Falls. Just a small digital camera.



Not that I didn't want to... I just didn't want to have the added weight, which, for me, has never been a problem.


hum... wonder if I'm getting old in my old age.

I recall a time I hiked into the back-woods of Yosemite on a 2-day search-and-rescue with the local sheriff's posse, carrying my HUGE pro-news Beta cam, as well as recorder deck, mics, AND a heavy aluminum Bogen tripod. And yes.. we DID get our man, and yes, I DID get awesome exclusive footage.


This trip to Feather Falls wasn't as inspiring, and I was having trouble breathing, and my feet didn't seem to want to cooperate. Placing one foot in front of the other was something I had to concentrate on.. a LOT!

Hum. I have to find those photos form that Yosemite search-n-rescue, looks like I'm getting into one of those Glory Days moments. These photos attached are form my recent Feather Falls hike.

Wow! Has it been 7 Months!

I can't believe my last post was seven months ago.

A lot has happened in my life since last October: Good, Bad and Ugly. I'll leave the details out, just wanted to add this thought... I'm glad I am a member of the Soroptimists because their energy helped me through some really tough times recently.

To those who knew: I thank you all. To those who didn't: though many of my fellow SI members had no idea what was happening in my world, I was inspired and rejuvenated by their positive affirmations.

I feel like I'm back to my Magical Self again.
