Yes, that's Frances as "The Wild Thing" at the New Britain Museum back on January 20. It's one of the 167 pictures we took during the winter and, as you can see, not all of them had to do with the projects we were doing on our boat.
We promised ourselves that we'd do some fun things this winter and we did.
As part of our effort to re-sharpen our video skills, we've been experimenting with what video folks call "The Ken Burns Effect. Burns, who produced so many great documentaries, uses a technique that brought life to still photographs by seeming to move his camera across each photo, moving in or pulling back and transitioning to a new pictures at exactly the right time.
We're certainly not in Ken Burns' league but we did manage to combine 19 still photos into a sequence of just one minute and 45 seconds that follows the work we did on our boat during the winter.
This probably won't mean much to anyone but our summertime dockmates but what the hell, it was fun and interesting to do.
Next time, we'll add music.
