Greetings, Trace here. I have been writing since I was 12 or so, starting with poetry and free form stuff, graduating to formal song lyrics, essays, published articles, music reviews, video scripts and promotional / technical writing as an adult, or as a young guy trapped in an adult body…

I’ve long skirted the idea of having a blog, now giving it a whirl. People often tell me I lead an interesting life, and I think generally that’s true, but of course the trials and tribulations of video and TV production are more common than the truly memorable moments. But then isn’t that what makes a memorable moment? If it was common, it would hardly be memorable.

So, what am I doing here? It’s a grasp at capturing ideas and stories that seem important or monumental, curious, funny, informative, thought provoking, silly or anything else slipping through my mind.

Obviously, its smart to promote yourself too. And I will use the TraceTV blog for that as well, giving periodic updates on projects we are developing. My intention is for these things to be informative, and to spur feedback, good and bad. I believe in seeking opinion on projects and have seen that successful people were not afraid to seek honest feedback from a variety of sources.

Also, it’s something of an experiment, this Internet thing, isn’t it? One never knows how far a word or image can go in this medium. I like the idea of a quest, seeing how many people we can meet and new ideas we can experience simply by posting thoughts, and seeking feedback.

Thanks for tuning in.
Cheers

25 plus years travel and production – video, music, multimedia production.
