Live Life

It has been over a year since I created my production entitled The Maritimes. Since then, it has been viewed by hundreds of people and has received countless acclaimed responses. It is the most successful out of all of my productions thus far. So, by popular demand, I have now created a production focusing just on our beautiful city of Saint John. Since this year is the 225th birthday of the oldest incorporated city in Canada, I thought what a better way to commemorate this very historic year than to make a video highlighting the key points in our history. I am very proud of this video and it has been in the back of my mind for the past year. You may recognize some of the photography in this from some of my previous videos. I have also added some newer pictures as well. Once again, in true Maritime fashion, I have used another song by The Rankin Family entitled Rise Again! I'm sure all of you will know and love this song! I really am looking forward to seeing how this video will be received and incorporated into Saint John's 225th birthday celebrations this year! I will keep you all updated with these developments! I hope this video touches a special place in your heart as it did mine! We all should be proud of our city! Happy 225th Birthday Saint John! We love you!!!

Nicely done! We should all spend more time being tourists in our own city.
