The title for this file is 1994 but it is actually 1995. One of the things PTE can do, many programs can do this with still images, is recognize the black area of the image as nothing. Most programs scan motion images as all the same whether they have blank spot or not. PTE can shrink a video by putting a letter box around the video. PTE has long been my go to program for shrinking video. This video of over 3 minutes is just 37megs. The video is one of my favorites and this is one of my favorite video openings. I hope you like it though its kind of small.

Another oldy from the past. Part 1

Another short video from the past. I realize I had always deleted my video from the past and nothing is in the archives. I plan t to jump around and show some different stuff from long ago and I now can shrink some video files from the past and get a bit of continuity to some old stuff.

Filmed in the Onion Creek and Fisher Tower area of Utah. A word about the music. It is taken from a piece of nearly 15 minutes. I heard it for the first time when I was in the New Mexico Symphony in the mid 70s. It's a string piece so I wasn't needed as I was the Timpanist. I was sitting backstage in the darkness right behind the shell that projected the sound. As I listened I began to weep. I believe music is the most honest form of art. It has a beginning and end and then it's gone. Imagine before recordings when you could only hear it when an orchestra played it. And when you hear it, no words, to singing, no speaking, just sound. And it can move you so deeply. I hope this video with sound can move you too.

Tried to camp in one area and then moved to another for privacy. The road was something else, but the camp was secluded and quiet. The harder it is to get there, the better it is for camping.

This is part of the opening to a much larger video. It quickly heads into Arches National Park. The entrance shows nothing of the real park but the drive in is pretty exciting and fun. This is a few seconds of a 20 minute section of the drive in.
