Found a time lapse video I made in May 2001. I put a web camera at my window and had it take a picture every 15 seconds and then left for work. I returned home later that evening and this is the result:

I was awakened early this morning by the sound of fire engines going down the street. Usually I fall back to sleep as they continue down East Broadway past my window; but this morning they stopped in front. Now I was awake. I live in an old tenement and with the engines stopped just outside; it was time to investigage. I looked out the window and saw that the main activity was two doors down so I could put on some clothes and go out on the fire escape and take some pictures.

Here is a video pan of the engines that showed up for the show. It is taken using the video mode of my Canon PowerShot A95:

Second You Tube upload. This one is a set of still images taken in sequences and put together into a "movie" I like how it tricks the eye into thinking it is has movement. I know that is what a "real" movie does, but this isn't as smooth and yet it still tricks the eye. I had a audio track of a Ray Charles song with it, but copyright rules would frown on it in a public space.

Did my first You Tube upload. It is a movie I took from the first car of an A Train on the way back from JFK. It is pretty hokey, but if you like looking out the door of the first car it isn't bad.
