"i don’t wanna know if the answers aren’t easy
so just bring it down from the mountain to me"

"don’t teach me about loving my enemies
don’t teach me how to listen to the Spirit
just give me a new law"

"what’s the use in trading a law you can never keep
for one that can that cannot get you anything"

This was an experiment. The beginning of this month Dani and I went back to DC/VA and I thought I'd try to make a project while on vacation... a lip-dub with a DSLR. I'd recently been listening to Derek Webb's album, "Mocking Bird," and really like the lyrics to "New Law" and "Love is not Against the Law." I like the latter the most but "New Law" had a great ending that I could visualize.

Listen the the lyrics... that is why I used this song. It's a Christian artist who is rebuking/repenting for the Church. I love it.

In DC I got a little busy visiting friends and didn't have too much time with them so I decided there wasn't enough time to devote to my project and when I got home realized I was missing a lot so I just threw in the other random photos of our trip. That still wasn't enough... luckily we were on our way to Michigan for Dani's cousins wedding and I took some pictures of the leaves changing colors on our drive back from the lake house in Gaylord--that's something I miss here in LA.

For the lip dub I basically slowed the song to 25% and had people mouth the sounds as I shot them and then set the frame rate to about 10fps... give or take. In the future I'd get a ND filter and slow the shutter and use a tripod more with and moving background... or shoot more at night with lights in the bg.

Wee oooh! Just a little sample of the fun we had in Chicago!

Labor Day weekend 4 of us guys from college got together in LA with our wifes. The last half of the weekend we spent in Fullerton, CA and I decided to take LOTS of photos since I forgot my video camera. This is about 1000 photos.
