After a college reunion, my friend with a Mac did a slide show, using my pictures and simple videos from my Kodak, and some other pics (her camera battery had died that weekend). Long story short, I got a bit interested in doing slide shows, which actually helped me decide to slightly upgrade my camera and computer setup, though I am not a Mac person. I now use the most basic Vegas Studio, and at this point it is still way too complex for me.
For fun, and to learn more about it, I put it to test with my bluebird photos-- Who here knew that Paul McCartney had a song about bluebirds?

Just STOP and watch the bluebird one only. But IF you believe that the power of intention can affect the world, this is my new offering--which incorporates most everything the skepticism DU group loves to hate, LOL. This one is about infusing the waters of the Gulf of Mexico with positive energy (it uses some of my photos from the Florida trip last fall, so this came in handy).

If you love classical guitar from centuries past but are a secular humanist, just start the show, listen, and close your eyes. That would help heal the waters of the Gulf as well. ;)
PS: Spell check turned slideshow into slide show. Surely putting the words together is okay, though?
