So, while I continue my best procrastination over blogging about a particular subject (stock photography) or not, I will be sharing some fun videos I've done in the past few years. Working video is so different from still photography. But then again it isn't. Both mediums share a lot of the same fundamentals.
Anyway, somehow, a few years ago I talked myself into a unique position of being an organization's photographer for a series of events. These events took place aboard a three-masted schooner that plied the waters of New England in the summer and the British Virgin Islands in the winter. Over the course of two summers and one winter I took four trips on SV Arabella. As luck would have it, which sometimes does, the organization I was representing on the trips and the owner of the yacht had a falling out. So many of our plans to create promotional footage evaporated with the tense relationship. The organization has gone on to retain me for monthly contract photography services which has turned out to be a wonderful opportunity for me.
In a while when I begin to upload my video work, I completed a 5 minute documentary style piece with clips from all four of the trips. Did I make money from the experience? No. Was it worth it? By all means. A month total on this yacht was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and meeting the various crew and passengers during the time was priceless. You might say, I seas the day that time. That's a lot like all of us Steemians here, the first million who seized the day!
