I stopped to grab something to eat while I was downtown and saw this group of people standing there at the intersection. I didn’t know what they were doing but it looked interesting.

I’m glad I captured a few snowflakes as well.

Since I was a little girl I’ve been somewhat intrigued at the car wash. I think somehow now going to the car wash reminds me of being a little girl.

This is what happens when you go to see the cherry blossoms on the day of the Cherry Blossom Festival.

I went for lunch and stumbled upon one of the many anti-war protests in Washington, DC yesterday.

About 3 minutes in there was an altercation that I didn’t fully capture as I was trying to figure out what was going on and if I needed to move.

The video is just under 7 minutes and 100MB. If you are hurting for bandwidth, try the Flash version.

I recorded this other guy because our “chef” was rather lackluster.

Last Thursday, I was supposed to be on a flight to Houston for work. When I got to the airport I saw an email on my Blackberry that said “Don’t go. Please confirm receipt.” The dilemma then was that I couldn’t go home due to traffic and HOV restrictions so I had to find something to do.

MP4 Version

I shot this while sitting in a sandwich shop for lunch. There’s a lot of action and at the same time a lot of nothing going on.

This fountain sits in the plaza between the National Gallery of Art‘s East and West buildings. I was just sitting here recording the fountain when this happened. I’d normally be annoyed but she’s the only thing that makes this video interesting.

It’s Lumiere-inspired but obviously not a Lumiere.

I shot this video while sitting in traffic. Depending on your approach into the city, a Washington, DC, traffic experience can include planes, trains, automobiles and the obligatory talk radio.

I voted in the Potomac Primaries (also known as the Chesapeake Primaries) which includes the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. For the first time that I know of, these primaries actually matter in the nomination of presidential candidates from the Democratic and Republican parties.

I think this video is very Escher-esce. I got this idea on Wednesday when I was on Skype. I kept pointing the camera at the screen. After that I went to Seesmic to record my first video and I ended up again pointing the camera at the screen and as I moved the camera around I noticed some cool shapes. That Seesmic video was never recorded.

This video was done with an EyeToy camera for PlayStation 2. Incidentally, Windows Movie Maker is the only video editing software that recognized the camera so I used that to record this.
