I have been buying camera and recording gear for years. I bought things, realized I didn’t like or need it, and then shoved it in a camera bag and forgot about it.
I started going through all of this stuff to take inventory and get ready to sell some of it… and turned it into a little vlog project.
Gorcka and I made a LED light for filming last week – which would have been a really cool project to film, but I got all wrapped up in the making and didn’t set up a camera.
That homemade project shined a light on how messy my garage was which resulted in this video.
…Meanwhile Allison shares a story about a recent Zoom call.
Allison and I got flu shots today at Target… who doesn’t not respect the concept of an appointment. Ben experienced a different kind of shoot, a photo shoot. Our friend’s children also took advantage of the photographer being there, and I had a nice conversation with our old friend Jackson.
I wanted to film a video this weekend and have been toying around with trying to do something with two cameras (I am usually not that creative). I thought a “what’s in my bag” video would be a good way to try out this idea…
… and I needed to clean out my gadget pouch anyway.

It was “Back to School” day and it certainly was a special one. Our school’s COVID-19 strategy was to do half days at home and half days in the classroom.
It was Ben’s first day in the classroom and he wasn’t very excited (he never is), but he turned it around by the end of day. I thought it was important to document the day (I try to do it every year).
