    Adam attends a show by the one-woman band Hello, The Future in Portland, Oregon. The bourbon is bourbony, the past meets the present (to see a band named for the future), and the world gets a little bit smaller.

    A piece of my childhood is vanishing before my eyes. Zoar Lutheran Church, the church I grew up attending since before my memory of life began, is demolishing its old building. The building has stood, with many renovations and additions, since 1928, and now it’s coming down. Even as I write this, I’m watching a…

    On Wednesday, I spent the day in Canby. I went in to see if they were knocking down the old church I grew up attending, as its old building was scheduled for demolition. They had postponed, as there was (and still is) a lot more preparation to get done before they could tear it down.…

    I’ve been working on establishing a better archive of stock footage for my projects, so tonight I took my camera out into one of the fields to film the sunset. It’s not the first, nor the last time, but I’m trying to get a variety of sunsets, mostly for the purposes of time-lapsing them as…

    I was looking out the window tonight when I noticed that Mt. Hood look beautifully glorious in the pink light of the setting sun. So I immediately ran to get my camera and tripod, filmed the mountain for a bit and grabbed this shot. I think it turned out nicely.

    Just a little vlog about my musical experiences of the last week. This video has taught me many things, not the least of which are: Tying my hair back is more problematic than dealing with it loose. I need to stop filming videos at two in the morning. I need a lot more wall coverings,…

    After spending yesterday afternoon with my brother and the dogs at Knight’s Bridge Park, I came home and went about my business, thinking the part of the day in which I take pictures and footage of pretty things while relaxing with nature was over.

    I’ve been dogsitting my aunt’s dog, Tycho, recently, and both she and my brother were feeling particularly restless on this bright, sunny Oregon day. So this afternoon, my brother and I decided to take Tycho and Shadow, our family’s dog, on a little impromptu adventure. We loaded the dogs into the car and drove them…

    2013 is starting positively, and I’m determined to see it stay that way. I tried to keep this video short. I failed. But I had fun. So it’s all good. Voldey’s video
