The End of a Decade:

It’s a rare occurrence that I post a video of another’s work that I had no involvement in, but to celebrate the end of the year, which also happens to be the 10th anniversary of this website, I thought I’d post this music video by Sideshow Alley. It features a stellar Swedish folk duo by the name of First Aid Kit performing live in Australia. The song also bears special meaning for me as it’s titled “Waltz for Richard” and is a wonderful tune, in 3/4 timing no less.

It was ten years ago at this time that a friend and I started posting homemade videos of silly skits and random shenanigans on a site called RickandRak.com, which later became RickRock.com in 2005. Around the same time is when I finally decided to get serious about filmmaking and freelance videography and began working on professional projects and learning the craft. While I do miss the old days, I value them as cherished memories and value all of the experience I’ve gained since then. Perhaps some day, I will fashion a feature work out of all my old tapes and videos. Some day…
Happy New Year and lets make the next decade as great, if not better than the previous one. Salute!
