See all Show me
Missoula has seen gale force winds lately, argh! Riding my bike home on these dark, windy nights has helped me realize that trees move more than our opinions, beliefs, fashions, discriminations, and judgements but still stay firmly rooted. They're REALLY flexible.

Anywho, Canon 20d, around 800 still frames, and shot in the U-District of Missoula.

Music: Mum
Song: K/Half Noise
Album: Finally we are no one.

    I love the shot at 00:38, the static streetlight makes the movement of the tree more effective. This is neat.

    I like this, despite my hatred for Missoula. :)
    Has it started snowing there yet? You should try it with snow on the leaves too.

    Excellent ! very inspiring, love nights like that. If you haven´t already done so, you can check out Michelangelo Antonioni´s film "Blow Up" from 1966.

    Mum is great, I used this same song in one of my projects a few years ago. I also like the odd motion blur.
