THE SELKIRK LOOP
This video includes pictures from a three-day drive I took through the Selkirks, in British Columbia. My wife has commented that I need to leave the pictures up longer, so I have in this video. The music was inspired by Max Richter’s “On the Nature of Daylight” from the movie, “Arrival.”
Three Days on the Island of Maui

PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE ROAD
I spent the last 20 years of my career traveling the globe, promoting modern principles for educating today’s children. In those travels, I found that I was spending my time in hotel rooms and not getting out and enjoying the exotic (and not so exotic) places. So I took up photography, as a way of getting me out into this world I was privileged to be visiting. These are some of my favorite photos.
Yates Mill Pond
A fly over Yates Mill Pond and to the historic (1766) grist mill. The quadcopter is a DJI Phantom 3 Pro drone. I used Logic X Pro and a Novation Impulse 49 keyboard to make the music.

Drone Approach to Downtown Raleigh
This was a quick flight from Dorothea Dix Park toward downtown Raleigh. It was only 27º(F) so I didn’t fly for very long. Video editing was done with iMovie and the music was created using Logic Pro X.
Lassiter Mill Falls 2017
This was my first serious flight of Velocicopter II, a DJI Phantom 3 Pro, having lost VI in Moss Lake. Less than 2 miles from my home in Raleigh, this was my first serious visit to the old mill falls. I use iMovie to edit the video and Logic Pro X to make the music.
