The Way the Sunlight Plays



So as many of you know, our son Arlo was born this past Thursday. I assumed that this would mean the end of my blogging for a while, if not the end of my everything for a while. But last night, the kid couldn't sleep in his bed, and so I held him in my lap on the couch for three hours. TV was boring, so I decided to edit some more video that was laying around. I am finding that video editing is strangely addictive. Anyway, here is the result.

Consider this a kind of requiem for Isadora's life as an only child. Things in her life will never be this uncomplicated again.

Somehow a title sequence and credits didn't seem appropriate.

Highway to the Playground



In the comments on my last post, my friend Jennine suggested that I make a music video, so I thought I’d give it a shot. For me, this is a video about the loss of innocence. Kids grow up so fast. If only they could stay little.

A note to more sensitive viewers: the music for this video contains a word some people find objectionable, especially religious people. It’s the common name for the place where you go if you’ve been bad.

Watch this video at your own risk.
