Dive Bar Karaoke

With my apologies to Billy Joel.

In Northeast Minneapolis, in February of 2007.

Rooftop Breakfast

large file / small file

Charlie has by far the best view of anyone in St. Paul. And he makes one of the best breakfasts, too. With Jason, in March of 2007.

Moving Walkway

large file / small file

At JFK in New York, in March of 2007.

I wish this could've been longer, but I was running out of space on my camera.

Train to Jersey

large file / small file

Recently departed from Penn Station in New York, and heading in the direction of Springfield, New Jersey, in March of 2007.

I love trains.

Snowscape

large file / small file

The landscape out the windows of the Minneapolis Central Library, during what was (hopefully) the last big blizzard of the winter, in March of 2007.

Free Play

large file / small file

Absurdist, freeform improvisation (or "play") in rehearsal with Live Action Set, a Minneapolis-based physical theatre company.

Watching these guys, I'm struck by how thoroughly most adults (including myself) have forgotten how to play, in the kid sense. Which seems like a tragic shame.

Strange Storm

large file / small file

All of this footage was shot over the course of less than two hours, in Northeast Minneapolis in March of 2007.

Package Pickup

A nice gesture, certainly, but not nearly as exciting as what Kruchowski had hoped to receive.

Central Library

Closing time, in February of 2007.

Snow Play

large file / small file

Celebrating the second big late-winter blizzard with Sarah, Matt and Jason, in Minneapolis in March of 2007.

Pigeon Mob

large file / small file

At the Porte de Paris, in November of 2006.

Driving Through Snow

large file / small file

On Hennepin Avenue in downtown Minneapolis, in February of 2007.

Greenhouse

large file / small file

Called a "serre" in French. To me there's something oddly compelling about the fact that for the French, this complex idea can be distilled into a single syllable. Not that "greenhouse" is much longer, but still...

With Najat, in Paris in December of 2006.

Train Bridge

large file / small file

I have a thing for bridges. And this is probably my favorite one, across the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, in February of 2007.

One Year

As of tomorrow, Video Haiku will have been in existence for an entire year.

With approximately 140 videos posted, and roughly four hours of total footage.

It's been a lot of fun, and there's plenty more to come.

Thanks so much for visiting.
