Paros is a dream, and I think I could live here forever. The weather is wonderful, if blazingly hot. The ocean is beautiful, its refreshing breeze carrying across the city. The food is cheap and delicious, and I can walk to a dozen excellent restaurants from the villa. A lot of buildings, especially in residential… Read more »

Home
I’ve craved travel for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid I used to watch streaming videos from different places all over the world, watching people go about their days, wondering what it was like to be in another city, state, country.

The farther from home I get, the more answers I find to the problems that Indiana has, or rather, the problems I have with Indiana. With every answer I find, I also have more questions.

When In Rome’s Cousin

My Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day… with Technology!
This was the first day to dumping all the footage from the day before. There were 3 interviews with video and audio, and B-roll from two other cameras. The night before, I tried to prepare by gathering up as much footage as I could and start to label the files. But no matter what, it… Read more »
