Yes, that’s me standing in Cabela’s store in Glendale, AZ, holding up two of the t-shirts my photos were used for– and I’m standing right in front of the taxidermy specimens I photographed! I was so excited to see the fruits of my labor that I bought two of these t-shirts for myself and one for my mom and one for my dad. Not bad that I earned $600 for selling four photos for use on graphic tees, either!

Here’s my photo of the African Lion:

The whitetail deer tee was the most popular one. It’s sold out in all sizes. The lion, buffalo, and polar bear tees are still available in some sizes at the Cabela’s in Glendale, AZ. The lion and polar bear tees are available at Cabela’s online: Cabela’s Lifetime Adventures Short Sleeve Tee Shirt.

Sums up how I feel about meeting my life partner, Andy, almost five years before the day I recorded this. From the Broadway musical On The Town, music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Betty Comden & Adolph Green.

I posted this almost a year ago on our family blog via Flickr (no closed-captions), and at the time, I was critical of my own performance. Now, I just enjoy it. I hope you do, too.

I created this video on October 3, 2006, and at the time, I was one of the first handful of people in the world to publish a video using Google Video’s new closed-captioning implementation. I just found out that YouTube now supports the same method (which makes sense, since they were bought by Google a couple of years ago). Apparently, though, YouTube has been supporting this closed-captioning method since Fall 2008. Who knew? Anyway, since this method of closed-captioning is now supported here, I’m uploading my old Google Video movie with its accompanying closed-caption file so people can view it via the more popular and extensible YouTube.

I used YouTube’s “Captions and Subtitles” feature to upload a subtitle file. I hand-coded the subtitle file in BBEdit using the subtitle (.sub) format. To view the video with captions, click the up-arrow button on the bottom-right corner of the screen and choose CC, English: English captions.
