This is my entry for Learning to Love You More's assignment #29. It's a wonderful interactive project that I urge you to investigate for yourself. The blue text below is verbatim from their website (copyright 2003 them, etc.):
"Assignment #29"
"Video five seconds going down Boulder Creek, or the next best thing."
"I've never actually seen it, but I hear there is a creek that runs right down the middle of Boulder, Colorado. I imagine that there are teenagers inner-tubing down at this very moment. If you live there, or are passing through any time soon, take a video camera down the creek and send us five seconds of your view as you pass through the town. If, like me, you aren't anywhere near Boulder, then simulate the motion of going down the creek. Here are some examples of similar motions: sliding down a banister, sitting on a skate board and rolling down the street, being pulled on a blanket across a gymnasium floor, going down a different creek. Video five seconds of your view as you slide or float or roll along. Hold the camera as still as possible as you move, pointing it in the direction that you are moving. Include a tiny bit of your feet in the bottom of the frame."
