Crab Cove Timelapse

The friday after thanksgiving was beautiful here in Alameda. I have been exeperimenting with doing some timelapse imagery. Timelapse is a sequence of stills taken at intervals then put back together in software to create the video sequence. In this case it was photos I took from 2 - 5:30pm 5 seconds apart. I created the sequence in Photoshop then brought it into Final Cut Pro for final editing and to add the music and sound effects.

Prices... are they at the top already?

Jackson Park Clean Up day!

SAT NOV 15th at 9am I am sponsoring a clean up Jackson Park day. I walk my dog to Jackson Park prob 3 times a week and am getting sick of seeing how this park is literally trashed. I took these photos over the last 2 days. There are tons of cigarette butts, swisher sweets wrappers, suace packets and all other manner of GARBAGE everywhere. Especially around tables. There is a very nice gentleman caretaker City employee who cleans up most of the egregious stuff but he can't keep up. I will bring bags, gloves and be there to clean up what should be a beautiful park. Also because of some of the unsavory characters who hang around and some of the nefarious things that I have read about going on in the park, directly after the clean up I will teach a basic self defense class. It will be fairly easy and age/gender appropriate for everyone. I have been studying Martial Arts for over 30 years. I hold a Black Belt in Aikido and recently have been taking classes in Krav Maga (Israeli Combat Martial Art favored by the Mossad) so I actually have some skills. Come out and help me TAKE BACK JACKSON PARK! Well clean up a little and have some fun.
