about:
the heart project is exacty what the intro video says: a project about creativity, hope, life and love seen through the common symbol of a heart.
technically, it is a series of videos -- some short, some long -- created using my cheapo handheld digicam and webcam. no fancy software or expertise here. you get what you pay for.
oh, one more thing. there's a fine line between inspirational and cheesy and i'm sure i'll be on the wrong side of that more than once. this project is simply an expression of an emotion i'm not sure any of us really understands.

“ my first real-life crush was on Mimi Thurmond. 6th grade. long black hair and she used to wear these cute little mini skirts. of course, she wanted nothing to do with me. how telling that i still remember exactly what she looked like, one afternoon while standing in her driveway sort of ignoring me but not really.
j.
“ my first kiss was with a girl who i thought was 14. i was 15. ends up she was actually 11, but looked like she was 18. complicated, isn’t it?
j.
“ nowadays, i still get crushes for women i know. in fact i have a crush on someone right now. ain’t nothing going to happen. but it’s a nice warm feeling anyway.
j.
“ oh yeah, i got a major crush on this woman, too. wait, when does a crush cross over into a sexual obsession? that would be a good thing to know.
