It all started with watching 24 yesterday. I watch with extreme interest as Jack Bauer used a black MacBook running Tiger and iPhoto to find a bad guy. So naturally the next morning I write up a descriptive post (which you can find here) and then shared it on the MacRumors Forum I then watched as the comments flew in and today I checked my GA and found I had 300 visits from MacRumors. I will right something a little latter as I am still meditating on what this will mean for TCM and how I can use SM and forums in the future.

Eye Level from Caleb Pike on Vimeo.
I was sitting on the ground with my Sony and I was watching my little sister get he picture taken and so I took a second to shoot this short piece and realized how life is so different for someone small like her. We adults think and say that life is so blissful and kind to children, but at this level “Eye level” life is rough and not all that easy (especially if you have 7 older siblings)
