Well, part three happens to be the end of this year’s display of the “Tribute In Lights” and it marks a few firsts for me..
I made a somewhat spontaneous decision on Thursday night, abandoning my previous game plan, and electing, instead, to attempt to create a time lapse “montage” of photos of the display..
I will admit, that while I’m pleased encouraged with the results – I made a number of mistakes in hindsight – some of them the result of overthinking the project and thus talking myself into one setting when another would have worked better – and others just in the course of it being a “blind date” of sorts.
In any event, I’m now planning to make another stab at it with a bunch of lessons now learned..
I’ve embedded the video below – you can also find it on YouTube (another first for me!)
Please, let me know what you think.
Special thanks to Michael Lawlor, Ryan Krieger and Drop Thud Oops, a portion of whose “Phrygian Waltz” is featured as the sound track..
Hope you enjoy the show..

In “Photographers’ Journal : Capturing History at the Conventions” The New York Times has a great slide show of great photographs from Todd Heisler, Damon Winter, Stephen Crowley, and Ozier Muhammad and a discussion with Heisler, Winter and David Scull on photographing the conventions.
If you don’t watch it full screen, you can see the caption info as well as the name of each person as they speak, which is nice. here
Here’s a great multimedia video by the Rocky Mountain News and Media Storm – produced from their 24 hour, round the clock, coverage of the Democratic National Convention..
It’s running time is about 20 minutes – I believe it’s worth the time when you have it, and suggest allowing the clip to load completely before viewing as it will help prevent some choppiness and streaming issues that may occur otherwise.
