virgin no more

yup 

finally

 can you imagine living with a video editor?

 trust me

 you can't

 i have long stayed far away from video

 my love is still photography

 occasionally 

i shoot something that moves

 it blurs

 that's my experience 

with 

moving pictures

 until now

i lie

 twice in the past

 i used the video camera on my iphone 4 

but i never shared it

 okay 

i did share one

 a very brief pathetic selfie 'singing' 

those who know me

 know why

 'singing'

 is in quotes

 it was part of a video

 put together to give a sick friend a smile

so technically it doesn't count

 anyway

 one morning

 harry was playing with a toy

one

 he especially likes to chew

 on the floor

 beside the scratching post

 now normally

 i would be all

 ooh aren't you adorable

and 

go back to whatever

but 

that morning

 i decided to make a video of his antics

 when i was done

 i wanted to share it

 let me tell you how hard it is to export a video from an iphone

 there are three options 

mail

 too big

 did i want to send a clip

 no i did not

 message

 whoa

 too long

 wanna select a smaller clip

 no i do not 

youtube

 ahhh 

just right

 so i do

 meanwhile

 toonman

 who is a video editor in real life

 got involved

 i googled

 get this video off this fucking phone and into imovie please so my husband can help 

guess what?

 a tutorial

even instruction reading phobic me 

could follow

 it worked

 easy peasy

 but

 toonman

 does not like my computer OS interface

 he opted to stay in the land of OS 10.6 

while i am in 10.8 

soooo 

we plugged my iphone into his imac

 added some music 

a little editing 

and 

here it is
my debut video

some would say

 i pulled

 a tom sawyer or is it a huck finn?
