Since I first caught a viewing of the movie, Chef, I’ve been playing with my iPhone is a new way, inspired by the young boy in the movie and then I found Cesar Kuriyama the source, in a TED talk. with his piece here vimeo.com/65154352.
When we got back from Israel at the end of the summer, I started my version of short daily bursts of personal documentation.
I found a second a day too limiting and moved to more, closer to a minute almost every day. Of course I was using up lots of space on my phone and some days I was using my regular camcorder. I had to get organized and started downloading the moments to my eternal hard drive and then I decided to bring my collection into Final Cut and start playing after I had the first 2 1/2 months, from late August- Halloween. I played with adding music, adding titles and finally let each moment stand for itself: a small snippet of each day of my life.
What do you think? Is there anything of interest here, beyond a viewing of me and etc….?
I’m up too early but it was fun to get this to Slice of Life at Two Writing Teachers early #4 and start catching up there with my Slicer community. Check it out here

wow! That is really cool! I particularly liked when you changed up where the camera was, giving a different perspective of your day, and when you caught pieces of conversation 🙂
Thanks for checking out my piece so carefully. I was just reading your post at the same time and tried to leave a comment. I’m not sure it went through but I applaud your multitasking last week. Just Halloween in my classroom was enough for me to handle. 🙂
What a cool document you have created for your family! I treasure every word of every journal my grandmother left us. How lucky your people are to have this! I like the format. 🙂
Hey just read your Slice!!!!!
Two things that struck me: the balance you have created between work that you love and family and friends who you love. That’s a gift, my friend! And two – we haven’t celebrated your birthday yet – let’s make plans!
thanks for 1 an2
I’m so grateful for your friendship
Even though I don’t know everyone, I’ve read enough of your posts to be able to follow the family celebrations, Bonnie, & love that you captured some. Interspersed with special moments with Tuvia, & your work & nature makes a balance that’s lovely to see. I too like that you included some words once in a while, takes us right there! What a wonderful idea.
I tried a version with text on the videos but I thought it was too much. But the voices, I agree. Thanks friend for your support.
What a nice blending of what is important and dear to you. This is really a celebration.
!!!!!!!!!!!
How wonderful! I agree with Tara such a perfect balance of what matters to you. What a wonderful life you have created, full of love and passion for life.
Thanks for supporting me 🙂
Don’t you just smile as you relive each of these captured moments? I know I did, and they weren’t even my moments. I think this is a treasure for you and your family. Of course, they may start to run when they see you coming, but I think they know what joy you will produce. You are a treasure! Loved it!
And Back at YOU!!!!!
So many smiling people around you! What an incredible project!
Loved playing!!!!!
Love this idea — kids would love do a project like this. What a neat way to determine importance, think about patterns and notice big ideas in your life. Thank you for sharing.

You offer such great possibilities. I can see sharing this with my PD teachers.
Thank you, Clare
