This is some old footage of an air show I covered at the Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport in California. I love jets and airplanes, so I'm just throwing it out there for all you other jet and aircraft lovers. Enjoy!

A quick visit to famous Centralia, PA while visiting the region this past summer for work on my essay on contemporary coal mining. Check out the stills here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nikonman24/sets/

This was a car show in Stratford, CT at Sikorsky Helicopter factory in September of 2008. It was filmed using my new JVC GZ-HD7 hi-def camcorder. I would have had it done sooner, but I kept running into difficulties editing it on WMM in Vista. I finally figured out how to handle the .tod files and keep the high quality after conversion. Enjoy! Comments and feedback welcomed.

A short video to show the ability of the JVC GZ-HD7 Hi-Def video camera. Files from the camera are very good quality. However, it has been a challenge to work with the files once inside the computer, especially trying to use a Mac. For this video I used Windows Movie Maker in Vista. Very slow even with 4 Gb of RAM! But it produces the nicest files when finished. Please enjoy. More to come.

A glimpse into the art of burning with fire artist Mara and her friends during a visit to Woodbridge, CT in July 2008.

Views of downtown Westport, CT from Sept. 01, '08. This was shot in high definition (HD) video (16X9) using a JVC Everio GZ-HD7 3-CCD camcorder. I recently purchased the camera, so I'm having fun shooting various stuff I come across in my travels as a photojournalist. The music is my own creation.

Views of Long Island Sound in West Haven, CT from Sunday Sept. 07, '08. This is also a quick test of the JVC GZ-HD7 that I recently purchased. The in-camera playback and component signal to an HDTV is quite impressive. I'm still experimenting with post production in the computer. There are several issues with using JVC's .tod files especially in a Mac, but on the whole, this is a very capable camera. Any user that has an EASY way of working with the files in a Mac. please let me know. The music is my own creation.
