In which a group of graying eternal amateurs discuss their passions, interests and obsessions, among them: movies, art, politics, evolutionary biology, taxes, writing, computers, these kids these days, and lousy educations.

People in Public

Dear Blowhards --

I'm having occasional fun messing around with Apple's mom-and-pop video-editing software iMovie. My latest creation, currently moving up the charts at YouTube:

My previous effort can be watched here.

Best,

Michael

Oh! So you're a Blowhards production company now are you?

Nice video. It's not often you see something that captures your attention for 90 seconds that's not titilating or bizarre, just restful. The soundtrack was a nice pick.

Cheers,

Holzbachian

So, Michael. When you headed to Hollywood?

Photographing people in public is like doing improv. You have to psych up and get yourself in the mood. It can be difficult. At least that's my experience.

The closer and more in-your-face you get, the better the results will be.

That's great. :-)

I've been sitting out on my balcony with a digital camera and I understand what you're going through.

Loved those! I really liked the Walking by Streetfronts video; it was like walking down the street with you, having you narrate your occasional thoughts. Chicago is mostly traditional architecture, which may be why people are always commenting that it's a beautiful city.

Ha! Fantastic! You beat me to YouTube!

Now, my dear, you've got some 'splaining to do--I know that vid was captured in my adoptive state...
