Dump Run

Posted in Video on April 4, 2009 | 11 Comments »

We took those dead rosemary bushes to the dump and I decided to make a movie out of it. It’s called Dump Run, though I’m supposing I should have called it Landfill Run because it is, afterall, the “No. 1 Landfill in North America”.

Reflection of a tree in a puddle on our patio.
We got hit with the tail end of Hurricane Dolly yesterday. According to the El Paso Times we received 3-inches of rain in a matter of minutes — and I can totally testify to that. That’s the way it goes here in El Paso…you’re dry [...]

I bought a video camera today, an RCA Small Wonder on sale for $30 at K-Mart. I brought it home and immediately tried it out on Buck. I don’t really know how to work it yet but here’s my test video. (Sorry about the incessant bird chirping in the background, I didn’t hear it til [...]
