Inauguration Day

My friend Susan and I made it to the Mall on Inauguration Day and cheered with the other 1.5 million people when Obama took the oath. It was electric! Susan and I had both worked on Obama's campaign in NE Philly and there was no way we were missing the Inauguration.

This is a t-shirt design that was being sold at the "official" store on D street in Washington D.C. I snapped it on the day after the swearing in and they only had XXX Large left. Apparently, it was quite popular! I can see why. I have some Flip video of the day that I'm working on putting together. Enjoy the photo for now.

My first Flip video

Bad Girls and Despereaux underground from Debra McClutchy on Vimeo.

I bought a Flip video camera in December that I've become sort of obsessed with. It's tiny, unobtrusive and dead simple to use so I often just take it with me wherever I go. I like making offbeat/experimental videos with a consumer camera that was most likely intended for parents to videotape their kids soccer games. It's sort of like the Pixelvision for a new generation. It's low-res, low-def, but a fun toy to play with.

I shot this video on a number of subway platforms along the F train line. It's an ever-changing, underground, unintended art gallery.

Hey! Over here. Welcome to my blog.

"Vividhour" is a video and photo blog I decided to start in January 2009. It's my first ever blog and I hope you enjoy it. All comments welcome!
