Blue Gray Glass Day

Wednesday, May 30th, 2012

This is the view from The Alsea Room in The Cliff House in Waldport where we love to stay. The dark things on the point are Harbor Seals.

Over Memorial Day weekend, Peter and I stayed at the wonderful Cliff House B n B in Waldport, overlooking the mouth of the Alsea River where it goes into the ocean. Peter wrote a sonnet while looking out the window, so I thought it would be a cool digital story to film out the window while he read his poem–and I still think it is!

Peter scopes the seals and eagles out the window of The Alsea Room.

River, Path, Memory

A Larkspur Path by Alsea River

On Memorial Day Weekend 2012, Peter and I headed for a weekend at Waldport. We drove up to Philomath, then drove down the Alsea River. We made a pit stop at Clemens Park and stayed a while as the larkspur was in bloom, and the river brought back memories to Peter.

I put this together like a journal entry, trying to capture the rhythm of a mind, a set of eyes, and an interaction with another person’s memory. Audio turned out rougher than I would have liked, but maybe next time I’ll get it right!
