My Photo Guides

Tout is like "Twitter for 15 second videos" I'm trying out the new Tout site, essentially a "Twitter for 15 second videos".  I had little use for text-based Twitter, but a short clip video site might be an interesting way for me to show preview video clips of current work in progress, before I have my next finished 3-7 minute video set to music. This sample is from night shooting in Yosemite National Park the week before last.   http://www.tout.com/m/w5iups http://www.tout.com/m/w5iups

Nice to see Lonely Planet give the Eastern Sierra the recognition it deserves! Better yet, it was awesome to be able to show so many GPlussers around our home region during the G+ Eastern Sierra Photowalk earlier this year!  You can see some of the participants' photos tagged with #sullimammothwalk   on G+, or visit the Eastern Sierra Nevada Workshops page to see links to their albums.  Lonely Planet definitely made a great selection for their Top 10 list this year. Lori Hibbett and I are working on our workshop and photowalk schedule for 2013... can't wait to tell you some of the cool adventures we have in store for you, either as a an in-person participant or a vicarious one, enjoying the group's photos on Google+! http://activesole.blogspot.com/2012/12/lonely-planet-name-eastern-sierra-top.html http://www.lonelyplanet.com/usa/travel-tips-and-articles/77583#
