Hi Kurt,

I will be a ton of local video on the DC portal.
http://thewashingtondirectory.com/

I have startd restocking the site. After one of the rebuilds I lost some old info, and just took forever making up my mind to push forward again.

I will be getting a few minutes of good data this week. I have been invited to a limited dinner with Martin Luther King III, and other civil rights leaders.

3 weeks ago i shot a video for a local DC gov agency

A month ago I got shots of a local NBA wizards player.

And of course what I am really pushing is that all small businesses can benefit from their own video. Especially, "how to do business with me videos" and " how to use our services or products " videos.
