I finally finished up one of the first videos I ever shot with the 2 piece RCA VCR and camera I bought in 1983. It was quite cumbersome by today’s standards and the battery life was quite short. My good friend Chris “Theo” Theodore led the interviews with some of Philly’s most colorful characters. The Sixers had just won the NBA Championship and Old City was in quite a Brotherly Love kind of mood.
Keep an eye out around the 2:40 mark for a ghost town of 300 block of Market St, years before any type of revival had started. Enjoy!

Every time I travel to a place that has big water, I just love to find me a sailboat that takes people out for a good sailing trip. In Aruba my favorite sail is Mi Dushi, which I’ve done a number of times. This voyage is from Sail Freedom an incredible sail from a sailing family team out of St Augustine Florida. Freedom is an authentic replica of a 19th century blockade runner. She is a 72′, double masted, gaff-rigged, topsail schooner. She was built in Norfolk, VA in 1982 by famed Naval architect Merritt Walters, the first of his many Rover schooners. Enjoy!
