This is the first of a series of short videos which I shall do about my father. And my mother. Their lives. And their deaths.

The videos will accompany a book which I’m also writing about them. When it’s done I’ll post links to where you can find it.

Why am I doing this? Well, as an homage to them. As a way of dealing with my feelings toward them. And, because we all go through this eventually, as a way of stating my affinity with the world.

With, that is, you.

My latest video...this one a little postmodern in that it talks about art and artist in an age of intelligent creations ...

Yet another experiment

So now I'm trying something else new. I have been posting my videos to Youtube, but then it dawned on me...why not just post them to Google drive (or wherever) and then provide a link to them?

Let's see if it works.

My father's obit...

Another little experimental video. I think this is a little more successful than the previous one, and I learned a great deal while making it (notably getting a better handle on having a picture in a picture).

Still, I think it didn’t quite work out as well as I’d hoped. The idea of a conversation between present, past, and future is an interesting one. But I’m not sure I completely pulled it off here. The meaning of the “future” framework around the major part of the story (my vide0) is just too obscure.

Still, it was interesting to make. (And yes, I really did have this talk with a friend.)

This may be the last of the purely experimental ones for a while. So, stay tuned for the next project...

Just a little meditation on the joys of being an obscure non-entity
