Welcome to another view from paradise! I took my first solo hike not too long ago and while I was out I filmed a little vlog for you, dear reader, discussing the level of editing I choose to do on my videos and why.

If you've watched any of my vlogs or tutorials thus far, then you've noticed that I pretty must just let my vids roll, rather than breaking up and hyper-editing the dialog sections. Many other vloggers do a lot more editing in that regard than I do, which turns out looking really nice and professional, but daaaaaaang..... it takes a lot of time! Time that I would personally rather be spending at my easel!

That's pretty much reason Numero Uno for my decision to keep the editing to a minimum, but go ahead and check out my short 4 minute vlog to hear the other two reasons as well. If you're a vlogger also, perhaps you'll also agree that there's a reason to my rhyme and be able to decide on the level of editing you want to commit to, too. PLUS the whole time you get to enjoy the great view of Honolulu and the Pacific Ocean from the back of Pauoa Valley. Yay! What a great place to have a lil chat!!

[ Side Note: The pic up top is actually from my Kuli'ou'ou hike, and not the hike from this vlog... but hey, you understand - somehow it's harder to get epic shots of yourself when you're in the middle of the wilderness alone.... go figure ;) ]
