I shot a little video every day of 2011 on my Canon Powershot, then I edited it all down to a little over a second each. It's interesting to be able to look back on my year and remember these little moments. I love living in LA. I love the friends I've made. And I love seeing how much has changed over just one year being here. Sure, I guess now that I see it, I got sick and worked a lot this year (lots of driving, running around doing errands all day). But oh well, it's motivation for 2012!

EDIT:: I wanted to add a few notes up here to say THANK YOU to the amazing response this video has received. I'd made this video for myself as a way to keep my usually shy-self active and lift my spirits when I'm down about work, paying rent, figuring... everything out. I thought the finished product would only be seen by my friends and family. All your kind words and support have blown me away and made me more and more grateful for the life I've been dealt.

I feel so insanely blessed, so thank you for quite honestly changing how I see my life and thank you for motivating me to do more and do better.

I hope this video inspires you to treasure every day you get and find the good, beautiful moments in even the worst days (even if it's just going for a walk, taking a drive, or spending time with a pet).

One more important note: So much of this video is thanks to the amazing and inspiring friends I've made in LA. A number of these clips (some of my favorites) come from days when I got the honor of working on my friends' very ambitious and wonderful web kids' show Googy as a part of Channel 101.
