Amazing Grace was written by John Newton, a slave trader who nearly died in a shipwreck, and who eventually became a minister. He penned the famous words of "Amazing Grace" for a sermon for his 1773 New Year's service at the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul. In 1970, Judy Collins' version gave the song new life. Collins said she believes the song is one of "hope and healing. It has a feeling about surviving terrible things. But it gives you a moment of hope. Sometimes that's all you need, isn't it?"

Had a few things planned for Halloween but lost track of time so here are a few shots from today.

Going through footage from a few days ago

Robin’s art for Chalk It Up Sandusky. I put up a 360 camera, walked away, had some drinks in OhTaco while I waited for the time-lapse to finish. All in a day’s work.

On the bay

DARK WAS THE DAY When we started kicking around ideas for the eclipse I wanted to get back to our roots. Do our own thing our own way. After some debate, I encouraged Chase to perform a song that could capture a mood instead of a tune that could easily be translated into something literal. Was it the right choice? For me, yeah, it was definitely the right choice. And I’ll say this, yesterday when we stood on a rooftop watching the sun hide behind the moon, and silhouettes of birds darting to fading light on the horizon, darkness has never felt so good.

Another Sunrise Sunday

Experimenting with timelapse. Not great clouds today. Better clouds would’ve sold the effect more. #hyperlapse #djimini4pro #dji

There's no place south of the North Pole that celebrates the holiday season better than Castle Noel in Medina County. *this video was created for Medina County Convention & Visitors Bureau
