Stunning time lapse of Yosemite

Just about anything having to do with Yosemite is stunning. This qualifies. Good time lapse photography is harder than it looks, making this effort all the more admirable. Best viewed full screen.

Lovely work, and I can imagine how much work it really was. Although nothing compares to Yosemite in grandeur, I would put our local Trinity Alps near Redding on a level similar. The granite, the sky, the solitude. Some time lapse imagery of Morris Meadow and Emerald Lake would be excellent.

A Christmas Party for kids put on by the local REALTORS

Here’s a video I did of this year’s Christmas Party for special needs kids put on by the Shasta Association of Realtors along with the support of the community and local businesses. We hold it at the Elks Club in Redding. 2011 marks the 39th annual party. As usual, a great time was had by all. Watching the video is a nice way to get some holiday cheer today. Our great thanks go out everyone involved. Merry Christmas!

We send our Curiosity to Mars

Our Mars mission that took off yesterday is nothing if not ambitious. If you haven’t seen it, check out this inspiring HD video from JPL that describes how Curiosity will land. It will be amazing if it goes as hoped. Best wishes from Redding to the Red Planet!

Our thanks to NASA and JPL for the images. I suppose spacecraft and lasers have make sounds ever since Star Wars. Funny, I expected the video to be more Stanley Kubrick than George Lucas, but there it is.

Short video condenses 50 miles of the John Muir Trail

This lovely short video reminds me of my backpacker days. And will probably do the same for you if you’ve ever chugged up into the high granite country yourself. It also reminds me how much work it is to do good time lapse photography. Thanks for this, and a tip of the blogger hat to Tom Stienstra for bringing it to my attention. Expand to full screen and enjoy.

Nature by Numbers beautiful short movie

I’ve been a little surprised by just how many people recognize the mathematical illustration we used in our logo for our new venture, The Address Realty. I thought it a somewhat obscure figure of beauty in numbers. But a quick search of Fibonacci Sequence in Google or YouTube turns up a lot of hits. Definitely not obscure. Check out this beautiful visual work by Spanish artist and tutorialist Cristóbal Vila, set to Often a Bird by Wim Mertens.
