Summer of 1961

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

In 1961, my family moved to Spokane, Washington, where I was born. Around the same time, my Dad acquired an 8mm film camera. This clip may be the first movies ever shot with that camera, beginning with me at two weeks old getting a bath.

July 2007 Peace Rally with Cindy Sheehan

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

On Friday, July 20th, 2007, Anti-War activist Cindy Sheehan and her entourage headlined the Charlottesville Anti-War/Impeachment Rally on the historic downtown mall. A few blocks away the Albemarle County chapter of the Republican Party organized a pro-war contingency and soon after marched to protest at the Sheehan event. I was there on the mall that day with my three kids. I didn’t have a video camera with me then, but I recently discovered this video online that shows both sides of the conflict. Sheehan and 45 other activists would be arrested on Capital Hill in an attempt to demand the impeachment of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.
