I’m not the most prolific vlogger, but I’ve been a Vimeo Plus member for years. I like the interface and layout of the site, and their password protection so I can share things privately with friends or clients. Plus I feel like I’m part of a larger community of people making the kind of videos I wish I could pull off, but that I do try to learn from!
Here are a handful of my favorite videos on Vimeo, some of which I’ve shared here before, and some that I haven’t.
Shake it Little Tina from Adam Carpenter.
Beauty of Mathematics from Parachutes.
beet cake from tiger in a jar.
Symmetry from The Mercadantes.
Breath from The Mercadantes.
Traffic Signs & Jake The Rapper / COOKIE JAR – Directed by Ben&Julia from Ben&Julia.

Look inside a beautiful, out of print book about clouds.
I’ve been trying to branch out from my usual coffee favorites (cafe mocha when it’s cold out, iced coffee when it’s hot), following this guide so I have an idea of what goes into each drink.
p.s. For the locals: Sugar Fixé here in Oak Park makes excellent mochas and has the best scones. Walnut poppy seed.

I have to include the full title of Alison’s post here, because it’s just too good. “How to get a professional photographer to follow you around while you dance (without being nude or having any real dance skills): a 15 year plan.”
