Dancing is the New Travel Photography (India & Nepal)
Special Note: when the film was rolling there wasn’t actually music. Of course, this only partially explains why my “dancing” is more like running in place…
Banjo never makes a sound. Not a bark or even a whimper escapes his lips. One day we started howling just to see what would happen and he actually joined in. Here are his first howls on film!
I hope you like our 350.org video, we had a lot of fun making it!
What it’s really like to run the Boston Marathon
To celebrate the 113th anniversary of the Boston marathon here’s a video my friend Anjum and I took when we ran in 2007. Waking up at four thirty am and driving over an hour through pouring rain and sleet was very foreboding. But once the race started, it was so fun we forgot it was 26.2 miles long. The highlight? Even though we ran as “bandits” we still got cool mylar blankets at the end!
If you want to keep up with today’s race here’s a link to people tweeting the marathon now: http://www.boston.com/sports/marathon/twitter/
And of course, if you don’t know it, read about the biggest cheater Rosie Ruiz. She got on the subway in 1980 and ended up winning the marathon! Of course they realized later, when she wasn’t out of breath and had a T card in her hand, that she’d cheated:
