RE: Video from before the time of video

I remember those! My dad took film of every square inch of the Grand Canyon (in Arizona, USA) when we went there. Well, it wasn't really, but as a young child when you are told we're going to watch our vacation films, you get excited - until all you see is a "big hole in the ground" for an hour. Yes, there were other things on there, but to my dad there was no fast forwarding through anything.
My dad did have all his old film converted to digital. Fortunately, he did it when it was less expensive. Now we can see the Grand Canyon anytime we want!

There's a lot to be said for editing. My dad is guilty of filming panoramas of scenery. Not always interesting to watch. I have a load of digital tapes of my kids. Need to edit those down.
I had a bunch of video tapes of my children. I had my son convert them to DVD, now I have to go through them. It has been fun to watch some of those "show off" events of my children through the years.
As proud parents we like to capture everything, but a lot of it won't get watched much. Sometimes a few photos are enough.
