So there isn't a good way to post a full length travelog on here, and even if there was I doubt many would stick around to watch it. I was thinking I'd like to share videos on this new blog though, and so the video postcards I've made over the years seemed like a relevant edition regarding my last post. I began to organize these postcards in 2006 by looking at all the vacation footage I had (although some had already been completed by then). I thought that it would be nice to show people the places I've been by just featuring a few of the highlights.
Putting the postcards together essentially became a self-motivated editing assignment. The goal here, unlike the travelogs, was to just show the destinations as opposed to a diary of the trip. Each video is only a few minutes long put to music and is framed like a postcard to emphasize the visuals, but I think the spirit of the longer films that inspired them is still there.

Can't say I ever associated Return to Innocence with Toronto the way I do now.
i'm assuming you mean ottawa, but thanks all the same :)
Hey Luke, I watched the Alaska and South Dakota VVs and I love them! Beautiful editing & music choices. They have somewhat of a nostalgic feeling and the bumpy hand-held filming is something we are all familiar with. Great job!
Filming the everyday and making it beautiful is a rare talent. A friend of mine made a video of his girlfriend preparing a roast. I think you'll like it.
Love your new site! What is the photo at the top of? It looks like a really cool diorama.
xo Leslie.
You left me my first comment on my blog (thank you!), so I decided to check you out. Your video postcards are exquisite. Simple natural delight. :)
Hi Luke,
Thanks for commenting on my blog. I'm glad you were entertained by my post! Your video postcards are very creative. I'm currently a student but also hope to pursue a career in film & media production. Keep up the good work!
