Wow. Had to watch it twice to catch the differences, but 17 (!) years in a video…neat.

Good use for a ‘junk’ digi camera. might present it in 2018.

be sure to drop us a line in ’18!
(hopefully will use psychic-communication by then)
That is amazing! the determination to do this everyday or even weekly for 17 years. Hopefully it will pay off now with something.
