Pretty Sweet Gifts

25 November 2009 10 Comments

Today is my birthday.  Yesterday, my mom gave me a call and asked me to meet her at Colonial Photo and Hobby.  I walked out with a Canon 7D.  Absolutely incredible!  So, I shot some footage of a really nice dinner/night with some great friends.  There’s no question that I have a long way to go to use this thing properly, but I think things even got better from the first to the last shot last night.  Here’s what I got.  (I considered putting an audio track with it, then thought it would be more enjoyable to hear random snippets from our conversations.)

Food and Fireworks from Cole NeSmith on Vimeo.

Then, just when I thought things couldn’t get better, I hear this little 30 second promo for next week’s This American Life… There’s nothing like hearing your voice sandwiched between two clips of Ira Glass.

  • Cole_NeSmith (author) said:

    And Florida misses you. This is sounding like a pretty consistent theme. You should at least come visit.
