In October of 2005, upon returning to the New Orleans area, I purchased my first digital camera. At the time I didn't realize the camera had a digital video feature. Once I discovered that ability, I learned through trial and error how to shoot and how to edit video. For 6 months I experimented with the medium, drawing inspiration from an assortment of videos I watched online.
Then in May of 2006, I made my first ever YouTube channel, dotdude. Over a ten year period I've shot video subjects that interested me and poured over that statistics provided by YouTube.
Along the way I purchased a couple of Flipcams and more recently a Sony camcorder. Some of my videos are simply observational, while others are more experimental. At times I’ve added music and sound to my videos. As the software changed, I tried new features.
Below is the first videos I shot. It includes an angel statue next to a small lily pond with a fountain. A number of homes in New Orleans have patio gardens that include fountains and/or ponds. A still image of the statue with pond served as my initial channel avatar.

dotdude Channel Seventh Anniversary!
Seven years ago I decided to create a YouTube channel called dotdude. The digital camera that I bought in the fall of 2005 included digital video as one of its features. Through trial and error I taught myself how to shoot video and how to edit video using Apple’s iMovie software.
As the years have passed I purchased a couple of Flipcams and more recently a Sony camcorder. Some of my videos are simple observational, while others are more experimental. At times I’ve added music and sound to my videos. As the software changed, I tried new features.

Two Pond Videos
The first one I filmed was at Poydras Home, the weekend of the Poydras Home Art Show and Sale. I went to see the work I submitted and see which other artists participated. Along a walkway called Memorial Walk on the grounds of the home, I stopped at a pond inhabited by a large numbers of goldfish. There’s a small waterfall. That area is so peaceful, I decided to shoot some video

On another day I http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.giffinally got around to taking some photos on the Lakefront. While I was in the area, I went to West End Park. When I was walking through I discovered a flock of ducks swimming in the pond. Well, I couldn’t resist filming them.
