YouTube Broadcasts

Max Hartshorne, founder and writer extraordinaire for GoNOMAD asked me months ago if I could post "Travel Shorts" online at a popular new site called YouTube. Knowing very little bit about it at the time, I checked it out and snubbed the idea immediately. Here I was, a 15 year veteran shooting Emmy-award winning footage with a top-shelf camera and being asked to compress a HDV signal into MPEGS and run 'em side-by-side with goofy animation, crummy student films and copyrighted footage. I don't think so! The video elitest in me won out and ended the final rebuttal between Max and me. Jump ahead 8 months and guess who swallowing and nearly choking on her own pride? You guessed it. YouTube has more viewers than all the major networks combined and I'd be a fool not to post Travel Shorts there. So, if you haven't already, check them out under the Travel Category with keyword GoNomad. Videos are best seen wherever, whenever and however there's an appreciative audience waiting and popular culture deems that to be YouTube for now. As soon as I recompress my Montana, California, Mexico and Nashville footage I'll get those online as well. Thanks everyone.
