Geoff from geoffmobile.com discusses how life experience is changed when using cameras.

Filmed with a Canon EOS T2i and a Canon 18-200mm IS lens.

Your host “Vampire Geoff” reports on:

-How to become a better public speaker, through Toastmasters International toastmasters.org

-How to be successful on the Internet – it rewards “Relentless Generosity” to make the world a better place. This is continuously and selflessly giving your energy towards helping others on a worldwide scale, whether it is through making music that people enjoy, blogging, helping the environment, raising awareness, supporting the less advantaged and marginalized, collecting and producing insightful and powerful ideas, etc…

An example is environmentalist David Suzuki davidsuzuki.org

Seth Godin interview:

The vampire effect in this video was the result of using the Portrait picture style on my Canon T2i camera. I suggest using the Canon Portrait picture style on female subjects if you want to make the skin tones pale and bring out the luscious red lips! Doesn’t work so well on very white gentlemen such as myself.

Technical notes:

I rode a double-decker tour bus through Shanghai China and enjoyed taking in the sights and sounds. Here is a short video clip of some of the street scenes from my trip. When I got home, I recorded a voice-over on top of this video.

Thanks again to my colleagues for being so generous with their time and showing me around Shanghai!

Cheers,
Geoff

Here is my video review of the Graduate, a play by the Arts Club Theatre Company being shown at the Granville Island Stage, April 14th to May 14th 2011.

Based on the story in the classic 1967 film The Graduate and the 1963 novel by Charles Webb. This is a wonderful piece of theatre that really showcases the amazing talents for the arts and the stage that Vancouver has to offer. I highly recommend seeing it.

Directed by Lois Anderson, starring Camille Mitchell and Kayvon Khoshkam.

I presented a thought of the day at my Toastmasters public speaking club.

The thought comes from one of my favorite thinkers of our time, Clay Shirky, who writes “Institutions will try to preserve the problems to which they are the solution.”

Transcript:
How’s it going? Ah so, what is it like being a raw vegan in Vancouver? It’s terrific. Especially over the past year, the raw food community in Vancouver has really started growing and expanding and there’s a lot of interest. We have a few really neat eating spots. We have Gorilla Food downtown on Richards Street and then we have Organic Lives on Quebec street, and then there’s also Eternal Abundance in the Truffles Cafe on Commercial drive, and there’s a few other places where you can get some raw food. We also have a very active meetup group, so there’s usually a raw potluck multiple times a month. Everything is positive and more and more people every single week seem to be interested in this – so it’s really good and I’m glad I stumbled on this way of living, it’s really revolutionized my life. Great! And you can go to Marcus’s website eatrawvegan.com for more information, and that’s the next edition of GeoffMobile. Thanks very much.
