San Antonio: Verdi’s House
i was laughing my ass off when verdi and jay picked up the wii. i’ve never actually seen anyone use this, oddly, and i thought it was so funny. also this is one of the only clips i recorded during our trip on my xacti. i just never picked it up. jay took lots of photos though. have a lot of stuff for ryanishungry on tapes though! i think that was enough for me. videoblogging week 2008 starts tomorrow. time to video things for real!
Can Masdeu: Squat-Community Barcelona
we visited this radical squat-community called can masdeu in barcelona. they have these amazing gardens on this beautiful land over looking barcelona and out to the sea. their story is really interesting- they took over the abandoned building in 2001 by just staging a sit in (ok it was a little more dramatic than that). this footage is sound-less again.
Going Through Things: Reading, Erasing
as we finish moving cross country, i am starting to go through my stuff at my mom’s house which she is also moving out of. all this moving… it’s really strange reading old journals and seeing old photos and videos. keep some, throw most away.
p.s. don’t my mom’s cats look like some alternate reality version of battle cat and white baby?
p.p.s it’s videobloggging week 2008. go get ‘em!
Beijing, China: August 2008
Jay and I spent the better part of August in Beijing during the Olympics to help document protests happening there. We blogged more in depth about it on RyanIsHungry. Here is the momentshowing version of the trip. As you can see the Olympics were everywhere. Shopping centers, cafes, buses, subway cars and stations. You could not escape the games. It was fascinating. Enjoy.
P.S. A majority of this video was recorded with the Flip Video Mino. I thought it did pretty well for an inexpensive pocket cam. Though the zoom is digital and kinda crappy and you can’t go macro. The rest was captured with the Xacti E1.
