I love to hear people talk about their childhood, their stories, their perspective, the little details. It is especially interesting, when you have a photo to refer to.

So, here is what I hope is a start to a great collaborative project. I would like for all of you to submit your favorite childhood photos. As an example, I have used my favorite photo from my childhood as a start.

To learn how to submit your own favorite childhood photos, check this page for instructions and guidelines. To see other submissions, check here.

Sometimes, the best place to think is on the road. Music by Hisato Higuchi. Buy the album on iTunes. You can view or download the larger-sized photos or watch the slideshow.

It is always intriguing to see yourself through other people’s eyes. Ajit wrote this and it is loosely based on the conflict in my creative life. It was shot, acted and edited by me.

Apologies for not being more frequent. I have been quite busy with work. However, things should start getting back to normal very soon. There are a lot of exciting projects sitting in the wings waiting to be edited.

This is the unofficial opening scene to a documentary completed last year. It is currently playing at select PBS stations, check your local listings.

Riding In Stride (25:30 mins.) probes the age-old relationship between girls, women and horses by documenting girls on ponies and women at the racetrack, including interviews with veteran jockey PJ Cooksey, trainer Joan Scott, and bestselling author Mary Midkiff. Riding in Stride focuses on women who have carried that passion into their adult lives and reveals what it takes for women to make it in the racing industry while staying dedicated to their love for horses.

This opening scene was split up in the final cut for many logistical reasons. But I have always had a fondness for it in its original state.

Riding in Stride was directed by Rachel Connolly, edited by me (Ajit Anthony Prem) with music composed by Carmela Sinco. If you would like to buy a DVD, go to Premhart.com.

My favorite memories associated with California are those simple spontaneous trips south of the border to a small campground in Mexico.

Just a small chaotic piece that reflects some of my thoughts and anxieties.

September 7th marks three exciting years since meeting my Wife. In that time, my life has changed dramatically for the best. It seems like I finally have a life!

This video should certainly remind you of being forced to sit through the family vacation videos by your parents. If it doesn’t then you should watch it a couple of times.

Music: Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra

Part one of a series of Blurring video podcasts. Everyday stuff, everyday conversations and all that drama it carries.
