Katrina

I meant to put this up two days ago on the second anniversary of hurricane Katrina, but I didnt have it finished. Please watch this. I think that it is important we remember what happened, so that if we ever find ourselves in circumstances where this might happen again, we can prevent it.

Max Roach Tribute

Over 2,000 people gathered at Riverside Church in New York on Friday for the funeral of the legendary drummer, educator and activist Max Roach, who died on August 16 at the age of 83. He was credited with helping to revolutionize the sound of modern jazz and for playing a prominent role in the struggle for black liberation at home and in Africa. The poem in this video is by African American poet Sonia Sanchez who spoke at the funeral.

Nieces

I went back to Texas a couple times this summer where I am always happy to see my nieces. They are really fun girls to be around...some of it is here.

Madison Square Park

I was at the park this past weekend and ran into these huge sculptures of trees made out of some type of silver metal. It was interesting to see these huge metal trees next to the organic trees of the park.

India Day Parade

I went to the India day parade here in manhattan this past weekend with a really good friend. I didnt put any music with this video (as I did with the others) since there was music at the parade.

This is more from my recent trip to San Antonio. While I was there, I went down to Hemisphere Plaza to go up into the Tower of the Americas (as can be seen in the post just prior to this one). While I was walking around, I took some video and compiled it here.

Installation

So I have been gone for almost two weeks in San Antonio visiting family. While there I tried to take some video of things I did and people I saw...some of which I will try to put up here. This is an art installation I saw in downtown San Antonio.

The Visit

So a friend came up to NYC to visit Dale and I this summer. Unfortunately I didnt take as much video as I should have (lesson learned!) and the times we were together were only captured in two places...anyway, it was good to see our friend and this is from that time.
