I created this video for the Trust for Working Landscapes and made it available on-line.

It was surprisingly easy to do with software that comes free on most computers. I used Microsoft Movie Maker, but there are a number of great options out there.

It’s a large (28 Meg) Windows media file.

I could have posted it to YouTube, but that would reduce the quality so I chose to have it streamed by Yahoo.

An amazing new tool for bloggers and photographers.

A flash video generator that puts your photos to any music you choose and allows tremendous customtization.

I find his blog the most interesting part of all this. To get a sense of how and who he is, watch his chat with Google staff in London.

Clearly, the formatting needs some help.

PS. I tried to send directly to the blog, rather than cutting and pasting the text into another email to the blog, but Jott adds too much blog-confusing code to the email to get it displayed correctly. Ah, well. It’s probably best to have one quick editorial step between my brain and cyberspace.
