--ABOUT THE VIDEO--
Plan on a little over 10 minutes to view
the video. It's a nice time to take a
rest and relax to the music.
Before I get angry comments about the
video, let me explain. It doesn't have
much structure and doesn't try too hard
to follow any story line. The first
6 pictures relate to Johannes
Gutenberg (c. 1400 -- February 3, 1468),
German goldsmith and printer, who is
credited with inventing movable type
printing in Europe (c. 1439) and mechanical
printing globally. His major work was the
Gutenberg Bible.
The middle section is random pictures that
I always wanted to use in a video, but they
didn't fit anywhere. I used some of them
here as they seemed to fit the mood of the
music, at least somewhat. And yes, I snuck
in one picture of bodybuilder and
weightlifter John Grimek (1910 - 1998),
who represented the United States in
weightlifting at the 1936 Olympic Games
in Berlin and held all the bodybuilding
titles of the day.
The last section tells a couple of classic
tales and some Egyptian history in
pictures. Many of the images came from
http://www.gutenberg.org, which has thousands of public domain books and pictures. With that out of the way, I hope you enjoy it.
