The Beach

I know this blog is about my personal photography, but I have been dabbling with video over the last couple of years. Over the years the beach has become a subject that I have come back to to photograph...I've been playing around with video for a while now trying to figure out how to use it in a creative way. Once I shoot all this video how was I going to edit it. I wanted to keep it simple just use the existing sound and just go from one clip to the next trying to find a flow and dynamics Shooting video is a different animal than still photography in that with still photograph your looking for that one frame to say something with and with video your using thousands of moving frames put together that says something plus you have audio which adds another dimension still photography doesn't have.. So shooting video is still a work in progress and I'm sure I'll be shooting some more in the coming year...I shot pretty much all the footage on the beaches of Evanston, IL during the summer of 2011 originally for a exhibition which didn't happen. So I''m posting it for all to watch....Best if watched in full screen at 1080 resolution.
