In 2005, my then-girlfriend/now-wife Sharlyn and I traveled to Tanzania to attend a wedding, which began with a private safari for the entire wedding party through some of the country’s most breathtaking areas, including the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. After the wedding, Shar and I spent a mythical week on the island of Zanzibar off the coast of East Africa.
Given the entire agenda in front of us, naturally I packed my Canon 310XL Super 8 movie camera with 25 Kodak cartridges (color and b&w) at the ready - along with my Canon digital SLR equipped with a bad-ass new lens just for the occasion. And a small Minolta point & shoot if all else failed (fortunately it didn’t). Plus a comforting oversupply of various insect repellents and antimalarial medications.
After all these years, I finally had a chance to load all that footage into Final Cut Pro and distill it down to this 4-part retrospection.
