Michael Verdi was another person I saw at SXSW. This short video, Wishbone, is genius. Michael’s father, Jerry, was coming off of the drugs after his open heart surgery and he was waxing philisophical about wishbones. Michael was able to capture it on video.

This is why I love technology. If Michael hadn’t had his tiny Sanyo camera in his pocket when his dad started talking, he wouldn’t have been able to capture this moment. I’m just so grateful for the technology that is available right now. I have the same features on my Panasonic and have used it to capture video that has meant something to me. I’m so glad that Michael Verdi was willing to share this with us all.
