SCENE | San Clemente, CA. 1990

Me at T-Street Beach, 1990. Music "On The Move" by Kisses.

This is just a little teaser to a book trailer I'm filming tomorrow...stay tuned.

This past Christmas my parents gave my brother and me a terabyte of digitally converted home videos from the time I was born until I was about 13. It is no doubt one of the best gifts I've ever received, like unearthing a time capsule of your own life shot in real time. Just incredible. I have hundreds of hours of hard evidence of my tomboy childhood, some of it though, I can assure you, is best left on the terabyte.

Have a great weekend!

P.S. Vintage Aleeda Wetsuit photos!

What an incredible gift! I think my sister and I taped over a lot of our childhood videos with silly things, with things like music videos on MTV (once we got cable, and were entranced with it). Those I still have left I guard very closely.

your parents are brilliant; a very thoughtful and inspiring gift. i remember being young and spending hours ducking between waves on the beach, riding them like a porpoise, my little girl belly round and my mouth in a perpetual smile, even when i crashed face-first into the sand. such simple pleasure.

Awesome! A while back, my parents converted our old Super 8 tapes onto a VHS cassette. Do you have any idea if/how videos on a VHS might be converted to what your parents did for you? Would LOVE to get that done for our fam.
p.s. Love your blog!
