pictures of you

July 6th, 2010

thanks to everyone who sent in photos. we got hundreds of shots and, after figuring out a format that would fit as many of them in as possible, I handed them all off to the editor to sort through and sequence. for us, looking at all these faces over and over again has been very powerful. it’s a snapshot of the black lab community and I’m really grateful to all of you. click here to download an 80mb zip of the quicktime movie.

    I’ve watched it several times now. It brings tears to my eyes to hear you sing this song about people you’ve ‘never met’. It has a lot of beautiful people & some dorks too! :0) Black and white photos, color, kids, cats (ok maybe just 1 cat), dogs, friends, family (no Angie?) It has some SCARY looking dudes who scare me. I love the silly faces, the Supermen and the grumpy little witch. Great job guys!!

    Although it feels just a hint like a YouTube tribute video, that touch is exactly what this song needs from it’s video–stirring emotion about meaningful people you know…but not really know. Major kudos for a thoughtful, well-done video. It’s awesome to pick out my fellow BL-loving forum members among the faces I’ve never met…and there’s me towards the end! ;-)

    thanks all, glad you’re liking it as much as we are. all apologies to anyone who wasn’t included — we got many more shots than we could use and I was swamped so I left it to the editor to figure out what to include. you are there in spirit…

    Hahah! So awesome! :D

    Firstly, the fans of black lab a shockingly good looking bunch. The video is really lovely.

    Secondly, I’m in it twice :D Once at 02.33/4 and again at the very end – the guy on the beach with the guitar is me! That has really really made my day!!

    Oh! Ian, I saw you and your woman. Didn’t know that was you at the end but, have been thinking how wonderful that picture is and was gonna ask the guys who and where. Perfect for the last shot. CONGRATULATIONS!! (that editor gets kudos)

    Great video, but the only sad part is the picture I emailed isn’t in the video. I’m going to go in the corner now and cry.

    Absolutely love it. And not just because I made the cut. :) I loved seeing all of those pics… some made me laugh, some made me oooh and ahhh. Awesome. Thanks again for letting us be part of it.

    This song stirs up powerful emotions every time I hear it. And now, with a video attached to the song, adds more to the emotions than words can even describe. Paul, thank you for including me in your video *at the 00:04 mark* and I look forward to all your future endeavors.

    I’m the Warriors fan in 2:55. Good video, I’d like to think I’d feel the same way whether I was in it or not. Very cool concept. Well done, Paul.

    I love it, P! So real and beautiful, just like you… xo

    P.S. Do my eyes deceive, or was that a snapshot of you from years past? Nice!

    wow. I haven’t checked in here in awhile. great to hear from so many of you. I have to say, I still watch the video once in awhile and I think it’s our best ever. seeing all your faces is beautiful. and yes Lorena, there is a shot of me in there from years (many) past.
