WHAT DOES THIS VIDEO MEAN?
Lately, I have been letting go of old things to bring new ones in. My cameras, my clothes, my 13 year old wallet, my phone, my marital status (from single to engaged), my sources of income, and even my car are just a few of the things in my life that have changed. I can't stop time, but I can't let it stop me.

ABOUT THE CAMERA'S:

3 cameras were used to capture all these angles with the help of Stephanie (my fiance). The cameras used were all Canons. The ZR500 (which I really broke), the XH-A1 (from the top), and the Vixia HV30 (from down hill on a tripod). The spinning shot you see in the video is in fact real and believe it or not, the camera survived the fall... but only for a short time. The blurry footage you see at the end was the camera's last working shot where I picked it up from the ground. It died right where this video ended. Now, the camera only works in playback mode, which is how I was able to recover the footage. RIP ZR500 : )

WHY DIDN'T I DONATE IT?

Because it was an old beat up camera, worth less than $100 at some stores BRAND NEW. So if some one doesn't want to work to earn $100 for a new camera, then they probably didn't need it in the first place. I bought my first camera by taking up a side job, chopping wood on a river ranch for an old guy with health problems. It was a hard job with low pay, but that's how I earned the money. You appreciate things more when you work for them.

The camera really is special to me and I knew I'd never use it again, so I had to do something extra special with it. Hopefully this video inspires others to better their own videos, that way this camera's sacrifice for art could be a part of the cause for that inspiration. You'll see it on my memoribilia shelf in the dining room in one of my upcoming videos.

ONE LAST THING...

NO, I'm NOT leaving YouTube! lol, c'mon now.
