Thanks to an ad on Facebook, I have discovered an app that enhances photos, but the main feature that attracted me was the face animator. The examples given were of old photos bringing past presidents or famous people in the past, to life, with smiles and the eyes blinking. I...
When we went to Spain, of course we had a few visits to Marta and Pepe’s house in Sabadell. They had a surprise for me as well, they invited Antonio and his wife to be there as well! I am completely overwhelmed sometimes how you can meet people on the...
In 1998 our family took a trip to Spain. I am just now able to take the movies from the video camera and get them onto a DVD. (thanks Roger!) I chose this excerpt, as I love the area of Lleida. It’s a great place to explore and the shopping...
Ah your first kiss…sweet, isn’t it? In Miquel’s case, it was hard to tell, as he did the old KISS and WIPE it off! 🙂
38 KM from Barcelona, appears from flat plains, what seems to be a freak of nature, the mountain range of Montserrat, 1,236 meters above sea level. It’s beauty is rare, and every day it shows you something new. Montserrat is also home to one of the most popular pilgrimage destinations...
After visiting the ships at the Harbor, we strolled around Baltimore Harbor in the evening….
The Santa Maria was a small nao, about 70Â feet long, used as the flagship for the expedition for Christopher Columbus in 1492. She carried 40 men. Interest in reconstructing the Taylor Santa MarÃa started in the 1890s for the 400th anniversary of Columbus’s voyage. The 1892 reconstruction depicted the ship...
While going over our home movies, I found this clip I thought would work well for a small video tour of Baltimore’s Aquarium. It truly is a wonderful aquarium, but the video only shows a small part of it. Since this was created in 1992, they’ve added so much to...
On my birthday 1992, we went to the Baltimore Harbor and the Science center. Here is a clip of video of our day. Enric and Miquel were so young!
For weeks and months I tried to establish a bedtime for Miquel. He wouldn’t have it. He busted out of his crib (literally), he tried everything he could. He wouldn’t even THINK of sleeping until he got to watch the late night talk show starring Arsenio Hall. Finally I had...
I grew up from ages 0-7 in East Baltimore on North Milton Avenue. We had the best neighbors, the Sovines and the Metzgers. We enjoyed a lot of memorable times together. Some were filmed, and I have a few clips, not in any kind of order, of our times living...
This is a special birthday clip. Enric was turning 9 and we chose a 50’s theme for the occasion. A lot of music preparation went into this day. We didn’t have the children dress up, but the decorations were 50’s theme and we even had a jukebox piñata. In this...
Miquel has been the ‘star’ of the latest posts putting excerpts of our home videos on the web, but I thought to share the three I know of him that were food related, kind of together. So here is another Miquel moment, eating ice cream, or what he calls “eye...
So a few days ago, I blogged an old home movie about a young Miquel and his love affair with food. The video showed his struggles as he tried to eat a bowl of potatoes. The video that follows, he is about the same age and we are at a...
Taking another trip down memory lane…. Well, still looking at home movies. Only this time it was my sister’s home movies! This came to be because one year for Christmas, I did a lot of homemade gifts. I found my sister’s old home movies, you know, the kind that requires...
Today I thought it is about time I started doing more scanning. Even before digital, I took a lot of photos and have two boxes full. (I should start scrapbooking too, perhaps!). Today I thought I would share some from Monistrol, Spain. From Wikipedia: Monistrol de Montserrat is a municipality...
