Galleries can be intimidating or uncomfortable for many people, and lets face it, even the most dedicated of artists can spend more time on YouTube than in an art gallery. If art is supposed to be about culture, then shouldn't it be experienced or expressed in a way that is relevant to people, and is already a part of their daily lives? It seems like YouTube is more relevant to contemporary culture than fine art is! Why wouldn't I showcase my work here?
Back in March 2009, I bought myself a Canon SD1100is. 15 minutes later, it was running CHDK, and I was talking long exposure shots and making time lapse sequences.
While I had made a few time lapse videos before on my Nikon d70, It required a connection to my computer, this new unit was far more portable, allowing me to make time lapse videos just about anywhere.
What a time we live in, when quality 1080p HD movies can be made on a sub $200 camera?
Time Lapse photography is addictive. It has me looking at the world in a different way. I can't just look at the clouds anymore, I now try to predict how they will move with time, and if they are worth capturing, and if i have time to set up.
It takes weeks to create enough footage for a short video clip, so making these videos is a slow, time-intensive process.
This channel is a video journal of my experiences in a foreign land. in 2007-2008, I was an English teacher in JinCheon, South Korea. Many English teachers head for the urban wonderland known as Seoul, but not me, I taught out in the country, a small town only several blocks wide, surrounded by beautiful rice patties and mountains.
Come and vicariously experience the strange and wonderful things I see/eat.
