Regular readers here may know that our daughter Stephanie and son-in-law Dan have been puppy raisers for the Guide Dogs for the Blind organization. It is a labor of love for them, a big commitment, and something they are passionate about.
Today, when Steph was about to take Rubina (their Guide Dog puppy) out for a walk, I asked if I could tag along and "interview" her about the role the puppy-raisers have in this organization.
This is nothing like the motorcycle, scooter, music, and travel videos I usually make. I've never done an interview video, nor in a "walking about" situation. I admire the passion Steph has for this and appreciate the opportunity to visit with her and have her share her experiences.
This is easily the most significant video I have made. I put mics on both of us, but wanted this to be off-the-cuff; no rehearsal, and Steph didn't know what I was going to ask...
We walked about a mile and a half, visiting along the way - then I went to work getting the video ready to be shown. I hope you enjoy it.

Jim (and Stephanie, and Rubina)..Thank you for the beautiful and informative piece on the journey with the Guide Dogs association and Steph and Dans love of Rubina and Blaine(?) I am now more educated on what they do and must say I am super impressed. Their selflessness in the training with the pups is admirable. They are amazing...and Rubina is beautiful!
Thank you for the informative video..which you do so well!
Thank you for the kind words. I enjoyed making that video and learned a lot, too... about the guide dogs program and handling the camera in that walking situation. Rubina is a sweet girl.
