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 »
Seizing Dreams
Time seems to work differently here in Greece. Maybe it’s because I’m in a new and unfamiliar place. Days pass by, and I feel like I’ve spent both mere seconds and an eternity here on this incredible island. The whole experience continues to feel surreal to me.

My Luck Ran Out.
This is my fifth time coming to Greece. It has been absolutely amazing every single time. Every year, I look forward to seeing that unbelievably blue water and the hot, hot, hot sun. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ve had as many transportation problems in my life as I’ve had over the last weekend. My good… Read more »
Looking at Photos
Photos are amazing! In an instant, a moment in time is captured and preserved thereby giving memories a tangible form. Although the pictures don’t evolve, the slow march of time changes how we see and feel about them. As our trip to Paros comes to a close, the way I view certain pictures has changed… Read more »
Community
While I’ve been here in Paros, I have had the chance to do incredible things that I never thought I would. However, I believe one of the most important things that I have developed here are the relationships that I have with my peers, both old and new. When I first came on this trip,… Read more »
