Tanzanian Craftsman

I made this post as a media experiment. This video shows a craftsman near Mt. Meru in Northern Tanzania making a machete. My wife was on the camera; and she and my daughter, Zibby, can be heard in the background.

The video is a direct upload from the desktop to blogger; although it was uploaded to the computer originally via iPhoto. It may be possible to upload directly from the camera via the USB2 connection and the memory card.



The format is .avi, as permitted by blogger. This is the format created by the Fuji Finepix J150 camera; but again, I don't know whether an upload can be made directly from the camera. Note that both video and audio are uploaded.

Final note: I uploaded via a DSL connection; and it still took a little while. In other words, it takes a good connection to successfully upload. Also note that the maximum upload to bloggger is 100 MB. This 52 second video is a bit over 40 MB.
