I am the annoying tourist who sacrifices enjoying the moment so that I catch it on film. My friends oftentimes hate me, and sometimes I do regret not fully taking in some wonderful moments in my effort to get a good photo or video.
Of course, now that I’m NOT on vacation, I am so happy that I was the annoying tourist toting a digital camera in one pocket and a camcorder in the other.
This video breaks every rule I believe in in terms of video production. It’s too long (10 minutes). It has too many still photographs. And there’s no story arc.
But, I like it.
My vacation to the Philippines was certainly a highlight of my 30 years, and this video is made to remember those few days.
Music by Jack Johnson and Bjork.

Very beautiful, Adam. Ten minutes well spent with you on your vacation. I’m sure you’ll treasure this record of this time for the rest of your life…
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
cool video adam!..love it. it reminds me of a fishing village in the east coast of Malaysia….but my favorite is the butterfly’s garden..
Wonderful Adam….enjoyed it so much.
I really enjoyed the butterfly scene with the chime music, and I think Bjork was the perfect choice for the second half. Looking at this while listening to the Jack Johnson opening, and looking at your face (photos) caught me a little off guard.
Sometimes I am surprised by how much you mean to me and while I do miss you, I am so proud of you for the choices you have made and the life you are creating for yourself.
Love you,
J
