I think the main reason we're being fed a steady diet of 'newer stuff' on this blog (rather than the older, much more priceless 1970s super 8 film footage) is because those old films from the 70s take too long to transfer across from the DVDs (that in turn had been transferred over from film reels) and onto little digital tapes that can fit inside my camcorder in order to be finally transfered again into my iMac computer for editing. We need to transfer 3 times on this journey. It's a long bus trip.
Instead of all that transferring nonsense (and since I only seem to think of adding a blog entry on the last day of the month lately) I find it much easier/quicker to dip into the rather large pool of 1990-2011 camcorder footage that is also stockpiled and waiting to see the light of day on the NRP (and needs no further transferring to reach the computer) in order to complete my once-a-month submission mandate.
These visual offerings (below) were all shot during a hectic day in the month of August - today is ALSO August - but these visuals fall one complete year short of reaching the awesome '20 years ago' mark. The word awesome is used here, because I just can't believe how fast time keeps flying. All this stuff seems like it should be about 6 years old to me - at the max.
