Proper Vintage Value

The opening scenes of today's video give an indication of where I'd been planning to go with my home movies back in the mid 70s - if I'd been given both the time and the participants willing to indulge me in my projects.

However, any early attempts at visual story telling (as seen in this passage from 'I Love To Walk') were ultimately short lived and a promising career as a super 8 film director soon devolved into what might be expected when too much film meets too little preplanning. It often becomes an endless reel of casual moments in touristy spots with friends and family members waving hello.

Still, the value of capturing awkward casual moments can't be totally dismissed. Especially if they are of the proper vintage. I suppose it's debatable whether or not any of today's spinning reel moments are of vintage value (did we really need to see Bart in those shorts again?) but they certainly reek of the casual, the awkward and the touristy. They may have even crossed the line over to the dull, the boring and the stupid.
