HandShake Video is the name I use to hint at the amateur nature of my videos. It alludes to the shaky hand that holds the camera of my early videos and the informal relationship between me and the other participants in my productions. My interest in video started with recording family events, but took on a more focused nature when I ended up with almost 40 hours of recording from my two-year circumnavigation. That 40 hours of video had to be cut to something worth watching. After taking a few courses at Frederick Community College, I discovered how much I enjoyed the entire movie-making process. Now I am looking for ways to express my interest and this web site is part of that expression. I hope you enjoy at least some of it.
