I made this video shortly after I first visited Rio de Janeiro in May 2002. In every way, I felt that I found the perfect place for me. From the beaches, to the climate, to the food, the people, the scenery, and the women. This video was made in one of Brazil’s primary tourist attractions called Pão de Açúcar, which translates to Sugar Loaf. I then laid down Aaron Neville’s “Don’t Take Away My Heaven”. More »
I made this video in celebration of Solange being pregnant. In Brazil (unlike the United States), sonograms are the standard of care. They take multiple photos of the fetus and place it all in a nice folder along with all the crucial measurements of the fetus. More importantly, you have an option to get a DVD of the sonogram. The entire procedure costs about $10, and the DVD costs another $10.
I then ripped the DVD and put it into Windows Movie Maker along with scans from her prior sonograms. Then put it to Paul Anka’s Having My Baby. I think it turned out great! More »
The new digital cameras are truly amazing. Not only can they take pictures up to 7 megapixels, but they also can take full motion video. This was taken using Ana Bella’s Sony camera. Ana Bella had just finished a fairly large shopping spree, and she is trying on her new clothes in the hotel room in Buzios. I like this video because she is speaking both Portuguese and English.
For the second year in a row, I took another video of my Christmas vacation in Virginia at my parents.
Perhaps the most famous landmark in all of Rio is 10 story statue of Christ that overlooks the entire city. It is quite a hike to go up to the top, but a group of us ventured to see the city’s most famous landmark. The views are absolutely spectacular.
Many years in a row, my parents, my brother, Dave, and his family come visit me in my house at Myrtle Beach. At the same time, a good friends of our family, the Trents, also come to Myrtle Beach, along with their extended family. One evening, we all go over to their Trents, and then one evening they come over to my house, and I took this video.
My brother Dave lives in Columbus OH and I went up there with my video camera to catch some action of Dave and Sandy, and the kids, Ryan and Joshua. Ryan is quite a ham.

This is the first video that I took in Rio. It is taken at one of the larger landmarks in Rio called Sugar Loaf which is a small stone mountain that overlooks many of the more attractive areas of the Southern part of Rio.

I have known Steve Burtzel since I moved to Austin, Texas in 1981, and we became roommates in 1983. Steve still lives in Austin, and he came to visit me in Myrtle Beach and I shot this video.

My grandmother is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She is the paragon of health. In this video taken in March 2002, she is 98 years old and will be 99 in June of that year. The video captures how healthy and lucid she is. She can still play bridge which is a game of tremendous concentration. I really love my grandmother and what she she has accomplished in her life.
