100 Days of Black and White Photos: Day 94

Unrelated: I took some time off from work, and today I unintentionally watched Running Man episodes all day. That show always makes me laugh. It was a good day.

Super Bowl Boulevard 2014

Editing video seems to take me twice as long to upload than editing a photo. I've been meaning to edit and upload this for a while. I finally had time to finish this video.

It was kind of cool to finally have the Super Bowl in my hometown and the same city where I am living. Too bad it wasn't for the Jets or Giants, but I was rooting for Seattle and I was super glad they won. At first I thought I would be annoyed with the amount of tourist and people everywhere, but instead I was just amazed at how much time and effort went into shutting down streets and setting up events for people to enjoy. 

Summer Fridays: 8-17-13

This is a video I made one afternoon on a Summer Friday*.

Do you see the guy in the first clip sitting on the bench to the left? He is old school. What I mean by old school is that he had a pile of sheet music with lyrics, a walkman and a stack of tapes. Yes i said a walkman and tapes. He was listening and singing the music out loud.

At first I thought about moving but then I thought it was actually refreshing. Plus I didn't want him to feel alienated as if he was doing something wrong or weird. He was listening to songs from the 50's or 60's. One of the songs he sang was a song from the Movie Dirty Dancing. He sang another song that sounded like the Food Emporium song.

*Summer Friday is when a company gives their employees a half day or the whole day off on Fridays during the summer. The employees usually have to make up the hours during the earlier part of the week.
