Once in a while I do a short video on some matches. Usually memories a book of matches I’ve kept when going somewhere, doing whatever I did. Places that handed out matches, which they do less and less because of the recent horror of smoking, so matches are a sort of endangered species.
I never smoked, but I collected, haphazardly and without specific purpose, matches.
I got this one from the Grand Canyon when I first visited.
And here’s the LINK TO THE VIDEO I made and have fun. Thanks for dropping by. V++

Another in my series of stories & memories from a bag full of matches and match boxes I have collected over the years.
Put my hand in, feel around, pick one out. This time, it’s White Nights.
This is its story.
THIS IS THE LINK

In my continuing series, MATCHES, which consists of me reaching into a plastic bag filled with matches I’ve collected over the years, then pulling one out, and making a short video on what I immediately recall about them.

I picked these matches up in a eatery in Boston. I was in town for a different reason. To experience something glorious and historic. The experience ended in a small, sharp expletive.
The following video was inspired by the matchbook from the Union Oyster House.

I’m introducing a new series of videos, or Digital Stories, on matches—match books I have collected from places I’ve been. These videos will be short, none running longer than two minutes. They will consist of whatever arises from of my memory when I hold the matches in my hand. I’ve been collecting matches for decades and I’ll be reaching into the jar, pulling one out, see what I remember.
Is this not just too, too exciting?
By the way, Digital Storytelling is based on the use of mostly still images, told in the personal voice of the storyteller, using images from one’s personal collection. I’ve been doing this for years. For more info, check out Center for Digital Storytelling.
Here’s the first one book of matches. Tagawa.
