We posted something I'd like to share with you all.

This video was shot on the snowy shores of Lake Michigan and features  
a seriously stunning sunset at the end.

Sorry to hijack your thread.

Horrible, horrible etiquette, especially if this was your first post.

My response before editing was totally topical: joking about your  
spinning looking like my panning, and that we finally posted  
something 'good', but rejecting that because of the possibility that  
it might be thought that I was implying that your video was not.

I also typed my entire reply before half the video downloaded;  
freaking cel phones...

Anyway, sorry for the Seinfeldian aside, but I felt really bad about  
hijacking the thread, so I thought I'd comment.

I'm not sure what the pretext was, but it looks as if you just  
started spinning the camera and let them do their thing.

If that was the case it is interesting that the boys chose to express  
those things. It's funny how hackneyed rebellion has become.

I also didn't care too much for the burst of violence. I guess this  
is just the hippy in me, but I really wish that were not part of  
their physical vocabulary so easily expressed and mimicked on film,  
and it was contagious.

Standard stuff from boys, I understand, but it still disappoints to  
see how easy it is for violence to spread. I also found the peace  
signs juxtaposed with this rage to be interesting.

So I guess your video led me to believe that things are just about  
like I thought they were, even on a mountaintop.

Cheers,

Ron Watson

ron, why do you see this as violent?

some people might just call them power moves

is every sudden gesture or move an expression of violence?

on the other hand, aren't they emulating what you might see on MTV?

good to see you posting shannon

I kind of figured that I was going to get the namby pamby label with  
the analysis. It is soft

You can call them 'power moves' and all, but they were punches and  
kicks, and punches and kicks are gestures of violence.

I think they are emulating what they see on TV: punchy, kicky  
violence, some irreverence, and thankfully they did something that is  
out of character on TV, and that is to speak for peace.

I also really liked it when the camera stopped on the one boy when he  
was giving the finger. He looked as if he had just gotten caught.

It was an interesting video.
