Wow we set up lots of gear for this scene for a National Geographic kids film about 30 years ago.

1992 - Deborah C. Hoard working hard babysitting a time lapse of tidal action in Gloucester, Mass. for our National Geographic film SUN, EARTH, MOON. The water eventually came up all the way to the base of the tripod.

Another behind the scenes look at our work. This is from 2006 -- videography for Civil Warriors.

I have been slow to post about the inspiring few days I recently spent talking with national youth leaders at the Generation Vote National Electoral Justice Summit - but had to take the time to let it settle down in my mind a bit. Seventy-five young people from many different perspectives explored the roots and the status of our nation’s democratic crisis, recognizing that there will be no transformative progress on any issues we care about if we lose our democracy. So much information and inspiration. Looking forward to working with Ry Ferro to make new episodes for PhotoSynthesis Productions web series YOUTH TO POWER.
