Camcorder Sold/Looking Ahead

I am still in the middle of a personal quest to maximize the eradication of my debt, and I have made yet another sale on one of my cherished gadgets: my Panasonic PV-GS300. I had purchased this camcorder in 2006 after some extensive online research, and I really enjoyed using it to make video projects. Truth of the matter is that after a while this Panasonic ended up stored inside my camcorder bag in my closet and was RARELY pulled out again into this year of 2008. The thought of selling this unit never crossed my mind until I came into the mode of letting go of my materialistic tendencies. Releasing my grip on a number of my tech toys has been quite liberating so far and I am eager to become more fulfilled as a human being.

There was a part of me that hesitated in selling this camera, but I had to consider the big picture of my life and make the best decision for my debt management...especially if I wasn't using it! What made selling this device much easier was knowing that a friend of a friend would be able to make full use of it once she moves to Cairo, Egypt later on this week. So this situation really isn't about letting go as much as it is about blessing someone else with a worthwhile gift. I am happy that this young woman will be able to document her adventures in the Middle East on videotape and I wish her all the best in doing so!

With one parting glance I took a final picture of the camera packaging with the bag and the tripod. I also took a snapshot of the video projects that had been created back in 2006 with the help of my MacBook Pro's iMovie application. No longer being behind the camera and on the video editing suite has not been an unpleasant experience for me, for I would like to spend more time in writing. I have tried my hand at being like Spielberg in the filming world and Denzel in the acting world, so it may be time for me to go back to basics. I first learned of my affinity for writing in fourth grade and have since then seen first hand just how people are affected when the right words are orchestrated in the most beautiful ways. Night school may have me taken away from enough free time to film and act, but there is always a free moment to write...thank goodness for qwerty keypads and mobile office suites on my smartphone!
