If my mother has any complaints about my travels is that I'm not in any pictures.
Benjamin Jenks solved that issue in this timelapse of his adventure
hitch-hiking across America. 5,000 miles and 3,000 pictures later, he was not only able to capture what he saw, but also the 930 people he met along the way - an interesting departure from the current trend in perfectly framed timelapse landscapes. This video is all part of
Adventure Sauce, his site that encourages people to spice up their lives and travel creatively. (Note: this post took me far too long to load, getting lost in his various short videos, which range from a trip to thrift stores in SF, and an interview with Kien Lam - all quite simple, but still engaging). I first came across this video thanks to
Hejorama, who takes a deeper look at Jenks with a one-on-one
interview about his adventures and his next plans.

I loved this post! So great that he did this. My mom always complains too--I need to be more like him I guess :)
ReplyDeleteFinally resolved all the complaints of your Mom. Great post.
ReplyDeleteI can solve that for you! I'll make sure to take a photo of you everytime we're together :)
ReplyDeleteI support Lost in Cheeseland's approach. Of course, I have to admit that as the person taking most of the family photos it is easy to "stay out of the picture."
ReplyDeleteFun post.
Mom
I support the last suggestion. Great way to get pics of Anne's adventures in and out of Cheeseland.
ReplyDeleteI confess that in our family I took most of the pictures and hence are not in many of them.
Great Post.
Mom
That was a freaking awesome video. Thanks for enlightening me to his work. What a cool guy.
