Everything You Want

When I was a teenager, I was occasionally allowed to snap a few pictures with my mom’s Kodak flash-cube marvel.   Like this stunning shot of Ted Kennedy on an escalator.  Yes, it’s really him.

Photobucket

I won an essay content my senior year of high school.  The prize?  A Close-up trip to Washington D.C.    Omigosh.  I hate crying.  But bawled when I saw the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution in the National Archives.  Wanted to bawl when I saw Ted Kennedy – though for different reasons.

Lois – age 15 – created an anime video for a convention competition coming to San Antonio next week.  She pulled images off the internet, and combined them with music to create this “Everything You Want.”

Yeah Lois!  Hope you win, too.  Though regardless – you are better than I ever dreamed of being.  You’re everything I want, baby girl.

    YEA Lois – what a great job! Good luck with the competition. Oh, & Becky – I love you shot of Ted Kennedy.

  • BNS:

    Way cool Lois! I love that song so it is neat to see a video you put together to go with it.

  • Paula Z:

    Lois,
    I’m speechless. You are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your talent at such a young age is beyond words.

  • Hey Jude:

    Just fantastic, Lois! I’m amazed that you haven’t been scooped up by some Hollywood type and put to work!

    Becky, ANY picture of Ted Kennedy is a national treasure. Just a treasure. I’m so happy that you have your own personal one. If you need help guarding it, let me know.

  • Becky,
    I’ve joined your ‘club’ of Constitution lovers. Hope you’ll cry when you read my September Albeit newsletter.

    Lois, you left me way behind in video production. Congrats!

  • Clyde:

    My son Stephen enjoyed the anime video. He is deeply into Japanese anime and will be leaving to go to Japan at the end of the month.

  • john T:

    excellent video there Lois, you hve some talent and if you win the competition,you haved ajfuture. good going young lady.

  • kate:

    Okay, I’ll admit it.

    After the Ted Kennedy and Constitution lead-ins I was a third of the way through the video wondering how this tied in to a Republican Convention before I realized

    it’s not that kind of convention. ;>

    (Well done on the video, Lois, and have fun at the convention.)

  • lisa sopher:

    Lois – can you please complete our homework for the next school year?

  • Sherry in Ohio:

    OK, I must be too old, and I even have a teen who wants to be an anime artist. But, while I enjoyed the video, I was totally perplexed by it. Not to worry, though. We went to a Destination Imagination contest and watched a performance by a friend’s son and his teammates. My husband derided their performance as the oddest, most worthless event ever witnessed. Fortunately only to me, since the team won the competition and went on to do well in the state contest with the very same performance! So, the fact that I don’t understand the video probably means it will win. :) I can see how finding and matching up all those images would be quite difficult. Best of luck!

  • Hi Becky! Thanks for commenting on my blog!

    Yes, we are a Buckner family – 2 children both thru domestic adoption – ages 7 and 4 now!

    Glad to hear from someone in San Antonio. Other than our new church ( Woodland Baptist) and my roommate from college, we know no one here.

    My husband actually went to pre-teen camp last week with the group from your church – he really enjoyed it!
