In Ventura, Cal, I buy a new photography lens.

 New Camera Lens.

For my new video project, I recently threw down some money on a new camera lens.  A Fisheye.  Do you think a fish actually sees like this?  I bet not.  

But the photography looks cool!

“In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery and death.” – Anne Frank

My friend, Spencer, linked me to this recent article in the NY Times.

“We May Be Born With an Urge to Help.”

Nicholas Wade explores some recent findings from Biologists that human beings could be less selfish and self-interested as previously thought.  

What do you think?

The Working Title of the Video: “I Love People, I Love You.” 

What is the point of the video?

I want to say, I Love You, to everyone in the world (or at least everyone that watches the video).  I will publish the video to my Youtube channel and my goal is to have at least 1 million people watch it.

What do I mean by saying, I Love You, to everyone in the world?

I have just been feeling love for every person in the world recently and want to make this video to express it.   

How will the video look?

The above preview is just a taste of the actual video.  I am still shooting!  The actual movie will look much more polished.  

When will I start?

I left LA on March 10th.  I will start from the Pacific Ocean and will be reaching the Atlantic before May 22, when I need to be back in Michigan for my cousin’s wedding.  It will take me about 2 months to shoot all the photographs for the video.
