Chopped
I got a remote for my camera and gave Q a haircut. Those pigtails I'm holding used to be his. (Well, he didn't wear them as pigtails)

Things seen in Pioneer Square
3:30 p.m. on Saturday while it hailed:
- man playing a sitar
- a different man playing a tiny electric guitar
- a different man playing "Brown Eyed Girl" on a washboard with a harmonica who stopped to say, "free lessons!"
- hundreds of people swing-dancing, ironically not to any of the aforementioned instruments
- man walking five Shih-tsus, two of which were very small puppies
- a young preacher yelling about sexual purity
- Two homeless men talking on a stopped Yellow Line train, talking about the Romans. One says, "Everybody has to get off." "Yeah," the other says. "Doesn't matter if you're gay, straight or a prostitute. You gotta get off! It's your body!" "No," the first guy said. "The train. Everybody has to get off the train. It's the last stop."

My stuff: Edna Henderson
Edna talks about her stuff
Click a thumbnail to see a larger image.
Edna explains:
1. Duncan - He loves me. He's 15 years old, and if I go to the bathroom, he does, too. He follows me everywhere.
2. Lactose-free ice cream - It tastes just like the real thing.
3. RV - So many years of my life were spent in motorhomes -- from 1968 until 1999.
4. Recliner - It sits good.
5. Crossword puzzle - It passes time and makes me curious to learn stuff.
6. Basket - Everything I need is within reach in it: emery boards, pain cream, scissors.
7. Necklace - It's made from all the rings my husband gave me over the years. My fingers got too little, and I kept slinging my rings off.
8. Hammer - I hammer the spine of my crossword book so the pages will stay open.
9. Soy protein - It makes me feel good.
10. Wood carving - My husband would sit around and talk to me and whittle.

Swiftly into the chimney
I recorded this about six months ago but never could figure out what to do with it. I had like 20 minutes of shaky camera footage of birds flying into a chimney. Finally, I decided to speed it up (well, parts of it) and boil it down to about a minute. Ladies and gents, I present to you, the swifts:

Testing 1-2-3
I'm really trying to learn how to use my video camera, so I've been reading a lot on the Internet lately and trying to test out different settings. Last night, after the sunset, I experimented a little with getting a better look and shallower depth of field. Anyone have any suggestions on things to do to improve? I really want to be better:
