Visit Raleigh: Spotlight on individuals who love what they do!

November 1, 2011 by Dave12 Comments

We spent a few days last week touring downtown Raleigh, visiting some very good restaurants and world class museums – not to mention a historic filled Segway tour and a late night ghost story infused pub crawl!

I recently finished an article about my time in Raleigh:

and here is a video highlighting a few people I interviewed who show a passion for what they do:

    Thank you for featuring people who love their jobs, Dave! It’s refreshing to learn about others who are passionate and lead fulfilling lives. This was an uplifting way to end my day. Cheers!

    P.S. Which program do you use to compile and edit your videos?

    David,
    I’m jealous you are going to Ethiopia and Botswana, incredibly jealous. I’m African and both countries are at the top of my must-visit list. All the best and have fun.

    Heather – thanks for the nice comment. I use Windows Live Movie Maker – because its included with Microsoft Windows, and its fairly easy to use. I shoot the video with an iPhone and also a Cannon G10. I’m trying to save up for the Canon 5d Mark II – very expensive 🙁 …..but shoots amazing video 🙂

    Passport Stamps – yea, when I think about it, I really need to spend more time visiting Africa – This will be my 6th trip but I still feel like I haven’t seen much yet – its such a big continent. This is a trip I’m *really* looking forward to 🙂

    Hey Dave, Happy Thanksgiving. You are in my stomping ground in 1970’s
    I had a Haunted Hotel in Saluda.NC Hwy 173 I think.
    Between Tryon and Flatrock.
    My cousin was all American and lives in Raliegh
    he was a coach there. That segway looks like fun at Seventy, I’ll pass. The restaurant sounds great.My favorite art THE DUTCH MASTERS.
