MEMORIES - GOING BACK IN TIME

Memories captured by 8mm movie cameras and video cameras both tape and digital take on a whole new way of remembering the past. Unlike the black and white or color photos, video has opened a whole new way to go back in time. My story starts with silent 8mm movie films of family events taken in the late 1950's and continued to present day digital video taken with an iPhone.

As an elementary school teacher, I used video as a teaching tool starting in my second-grade class. Moving to the middle school I began televised morning announcements. Little did I know these memories would be a treasure trove not just for me, but the students, also. When our new high school was built, I taught a television production class in my own TV studio at the school. It opened a whole new world for my students and my school district. I have video of graduations, elementary school activities, high school programs and sports.

More videos to come. Yes, that's me on the steps circa 1948-49.
