Videography of an Independent Journalist

This is the Cliff note version of everything I covered between '01 & '05.
For a complete listing of available videos with full descriptions and purty pictures check the Original deProgramming Section


These videos were Produced with consumer equipment and edited usually within a couple days of the event, so the older they are the rougher in the editing department. My goal early on was to allow people to Experience the event online so some are a good deal longer than they needed to be.
