The Grackles of Lamar and 6th, Austin, Texas from mimi flynn on Vimeo.

i recently got a canon hf10. its an hd camcorder the size of a coke can that has 16gb of internal flash memory as well as an sd card slot. throughout my travels, i’ve come across situations where i wished i could get a few minutes of video to capture what film couldn’t: movement and sound. after looking at the nikon d90, i discovered that it couldn’t keep focus on something that is moving. no auto focus? i had to have auto focus for the kinds of things i wanted to capture, so i went with the hf10. i’ll have two cameras in my bag at all times, but, i’ll be able to capture everything the way i want (further filling up my hard drives with more stuff).

so, i’ve been keeping the little camera with me at all times. its small enough that it fits in a large black diamond chalk bag (that i found on sale for $5 at whole earth provisions), so i can just pop it into the chalk bag, put the chalk bag into my shoulder bag, and reach for it when i need it and drop it back in when i’m done.

yellowtrenchcoat.com was soft launched a couple weeks ago, btw. i caught a snippet of video from that and posted it here.
