This was so beautiful and special.
Thank you for your message, and for doing this.
2:00 always.

Horray for Dinosaurs!

That is absolutely completely 1,000,000,000% BEAUTIFUL! Amazing work Karen!

This was so nice. I'm glad that i am your friend, Karen Abad, she who loves dinos.

Yeah Miranda July!

So nice. Really glad you made the most of the break in the storm.

Right up my street... really enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing.

swing shoe shot particularly special among many special moments

I loved the dinosaurs in this :)

aaaaaaaw ! every clip from you is always such a pleasure for the eyes and peace for the heart :)) thank you, and please never go away from vimeo :))
oh, and I LOVE your shoes !

Hi Karen, it been awhile since I've been on Vimeo but I thought that I would watch one of your videos for now. It was so sweet and precious and I loved it very much. As I had said before you are very good at what you do. Just keep up the good job and I will continue to watch. Hope to hear from you soon and I do plan on making another video soon, take care.

How do you do to have always 100% of perfect shots ? It's disgusting, ahah.

Great job. I really love it.

Heads up! Dino's at 00:39!! Great job Karen. We're glad you're our friend too.

Thank youuuuu for being my friend! Really :) Dinosaur scenes are great and I loved the hand scene, the music went with it too :))

Really nice meditation. Thanks!

Yay for citrus trees!

Your eyes are magic!

my work internet is getting stupid so this took like thirty minutes to load. but it was worth it.
your vignette effect always makes me think of silent films with the iris-ins to emphasize a certain part of the frame. cute. i'll call you tonight.

gosh what a killer video blog!! totally wicked awesome!

Beautiful creation as always Karen.

I loved it. What was your equiptment used?

you're really good at what you do :)
at least at editing, shooting, and all that. damn, i like your videos.

Karen, I wanted to ask you, do you know if uploading to vimeo takes away your (my) broadcast copy rights? I know on Youtube (boo tube) they take your rights, and ruin the quality of your vid due to compression.

I'll find out. How do you export your vids, what settings? FCP? It's cause my buddy's just finished a horror short film and they wanted to post it. And I said "Vimeo is the place." Nice people and good images. What more could you want?!

great camera work! what kind of camera are you using?

is that an after effects thing... the dark edges... I'm falling in love here with these videos!

Just beautifull and touching.
And if you have a room in your mind for one more friend, here I am, and thank you

karen!
amazing work!
you're gonna be one great director someday.

nice job, Karen!

i just read that book!

This is touching. It reminds me of childhood.

your stuff is so unique... i really dig it. :)

that was really sweet.

i loved the shot of the top of your feet on the swing :)

happy event in a mood for beauty

Karen! I've watched this vid a bunch of times (even two times without sound, so I could know that it really was the visuals I liked) and I really like it! You capture a really nostalgic mood and appreciative feeling towards the space. Each shot holds it's own little study of the space in a nice and playful way.

As much as I do like the music and what it does for the video, I think the piece is strong enough to work silently or with a soundscape made for it :)

I also felt that the shots didn't need the vignetting, I usually find post-production lighting to be distracting, but that's just me :p

Over all I really liked it and yeah, same as everyone; the shots of/from the swing= :)

This is one of the first videos I think I watched when I started getting into vimeo. It totally set the stage for the sort of quality and creativity I've learned to expect from vimean artists.

No credit to M. July for the title? Tsk.

You know my situation. This has me mopping up tears and thankful for those who have loved me and hope in me. God bless you.
