Star Date : 8/31/2008 – Sunday

First, I apologize for not putting out any new stories in a long time. But... I have been quit busy with the show schedule and of coarse school. Speaking of school.....

Ok, here's the story....

I just got a new toy, a Dell laptop computer for school. It came with the new with Vista Ultimate operating system. The operating system came with Microsoft Movie Maker and so I decided to try it out on some of my photos I collected from the Big Bend area of Texas.

Bear in mind that I did this in less than a week during some spar time. Thus, I know I can't spell "noth", I mean "north" among some other words and I also know a few of the photos are out of chronological order. Give me some time and I'll fix those mistakes. Lastly, I did have to steal a few photos off the net to fill in the holes I had.

Click on the photos to begin each video. When each video is over with, exit out of your media player and come back to this page to continue with the next video.

Please allow sufficient time to load, after all, they are videos. Hope you enjoy them....
