What's Behind the Unboxing Video Subculture featuring Cassidy Quinn Brettler and Steve Garfield
I am there on You are here.
Brendan Mattox of WERS interviewed me for this segment, of You are Here: Social Media - Unboxing, covering web video.
LISTEN: UNBOXING
"Culture has yet to elevate vlogging to high art, but Steve's tinkering reflects the narrative of creativity that encompasses people like Thomas Edison, Lou Reed, and Vincent van Gogh."

Brendan Mattox of WERS interviewed me for this segment, of You are Here: Social Media - Unboxing, covering web video.
The unboxing video is almost as old as Youtube itself. A culture has emerged of uploading short, shaky videos of people cracking the seals on everything from iPhones to DVDs. At first, it was a tech-only phenomenon, but as it has become more popular, it has broken those boundaries. Savvy marketers have started taking advantage of it- and the people behind the camera. Reporter Brendan Mattox finds out what’s behind this strange subculture, and how it became important enough to be a legitimate marketing strategy.

I Shipped Wine From Oregon to Massachusetts
I shipped wine from Oregon to Massachusetts, but I had to check it, on my plane flight, as luggage, to do it.
We need to allow direct shipment of wine to Massachusetts.
Free The Grapes: Massachusetts.
Here's my wine's trip:
PACKING
We bought a wine shipping box at penner~Ash Winery, and packed our purchases.
First Layer of wine bottles
Filling the second layer
Top Layer
Closing up the box.
The Marriott Hotel was nice enough to provide us with a Sharpie and packing tape. (Not Pictured)
In Elevator
SHIPPING
$2 tip, gets it shipped
On it's way
Waiting in baggage claim
More waiting.
More waiting.
This is why we never check luggage. We landed at 9:00 PM and our luggage, the wine, came out at 10:00 PM. There was lightning, so all activity was stopped at the airport.
Waiting.
Wine arrives.
All the bottles made it!
Pictured: Wine from Stoller and penner~Ash. Two great Oregon wineries to visit. ;-)

GM Disclosure:
GM provided me with a 2013 Chevy Volt to test for a week. The car came with a full tank of gas and insurance coverage. I was not asked to write anything about the car in exchange for the opportunity and was not provided any other compensation of any kind. All opinions I express regarding the Chevy Volt are my own.
[Video] BBC: Vivian Maier - Who Took Nanny's Pictures?
I'm really impressed with this BBC documentary on Vivian Maier.
Part 1/5.
Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5
Vivian Maier: Street Photographer
I loved seeing how the Rolleiflex camera was used.
Square images. Sounds familiar?
One part of the documentary showed a Vivian Maier exhibit in Chicago, where they displayed every shot from one of her 12 shot film rolls. Maier made every shot count and hardly ever took the same shot twice.
Reminds me of the days when I had a film camera.
You never wanted to waste a shot, and you never knew if you got a good shot until the film was developed.
Inspired Walk
I watched this video before taking my morning walk about the pond. It inspired me to take a few B&W shots with Instagram. Here they are.
These moments taken together tell the story of my morning walk around the pond.
Here are some of my Instagram photos for sale.

Vivian Maier: Her discovered work
Part 1/5.
First broadcast: Tue 25 Jun 2013.
The incredible story of a mysterious nanny who died in 2009 leaving behind a secret hoard - thousands of stunning photographs. Never seen in her lifetime, they were found by chance in a Chicago storage locker and auctioned off cheaply.
Now Vivian Maier has gone viral and her magical pictures sell for thousands of dollars. Vivian was a tough street photographer, a secret poet of suburbia. In life she was a recluse, a hoarder, spinning tall tales about her French roots. Presented by Alan Yentob, the film includes stories from those who knew her and those who revealed her astonishing work.
