instant camera.

A Snake got caught on some exposed glue from a step in one of our class rooms.

So what do I do?

I whip out my camera phone.

what it is

After a tornado ripped apart a town about 4 miles north of me, I found myself glued to the local news station for the next six hours. We don't get many tornado's in New York state, so even a small one is big news. But for me the biggest surprise is that with almost ten thousand people living it the path of the twister, only one person got any kind of image of the actual funnel cloud, and that was with a cell phone video camera.
As more and more people get cell phones with still and video cameras in them, I'm sure we will all see more and more events, both personal and news worthy in that choppy, grainy, pooly shot format. Why. because most people can't be bothered carrying an extra peice of equipment with them to a wedding, graduation, or any other kind of celabration.
I have two camcorder myself, one them a three chip 24 frame semipro system that shoots great video. and yet I can't be bother hauling that and all it's accessory to an event I'm attending. but I will bring my Canon still camera, and If I think it's interesting I might put it in video mode and get a few seconds of action.
Now the trick is what to do with that video, that where this blog comes in. I hope to pass on my trials and errors with making video with out a video camera.
