We Can Learn Anything







I told a friend that I wanted to make a video of people tying their shoes. My friend told me that it was a bad idea, and he laughed at me. To deal with the discouragement I was feeling, I bought a video camera and taped my friends as they put their shoes back together.

Why Did You Leave Us Scamp's?


About a year and a half ago, I found myself making frequent trips to the DMV Express in the Lloyd Mall. As it turns out that particular DMV has strange hours and I would leave feeling distraught that I had ventured so far into a mall without much of a reward. Thankfully, around the corner from the DMV was Scamp's, where you could take cute small puppies out of their pin and play with them. I developed a particular liking to an adorable golden retriever, whom I couldn't afford let alone possess.

Rozzell Medina and I went to Scamp's one early afternoon to see what animals wanted to run free and tug at ropes when we found that Scamp's had closed down. We noticed that around the entrance were photos of pets bought at Scamp's. We decided, then, to make a small shrine for the pets. Although you can't read it, we also left a note asking Scamp's why they had left us. Also unavailable in the video is the sound of a woman approaching Scamp's and yelling, "Noooooo...", we cut the camera off a little too soon for her voice to be heard.
