Touring Scotland
Touring this historic, romantic and ruggedly beautiful land, from it's craggy ocean shores to its North Sea islands--from its mist-shrouded mountains to its ancient cities. This is Scotland! Embarking from the colorful Borders and Hadrian's Wall we travel to the abbeys, and to Gretna Green. To Ayr, Dumfries and Culzean Castle, with its memories of General Eisenhower. And on to the Cinderella city of Glasgow and Loch Lomond. To Oban, Ben Nevis, Glenfinnan and haunting Glencoe. Excursion to fabled island--Skye, holy Iona and "Fingal's Cave"--and on to the Orkneys and the Shetlands, renowned for their loveable ponies.

The photographs show various groups of pilgrims in search of extraordinary and spiritual experiences, which are contrasted with the ordinariness of village life.

As the dissociated convenience of the Internet and globalized corporate culture continue to shut down brick-and-mortar video stores, what will happen to the longstanding, local hangouts with their rugged individuals known as clerks and the communities who love them? Videosyncracy follows three very different video rental stores as they negotiate their survival in three distinct Los Angeles neighborhoods: Old Bank DVD in the Downtown arts district, Vidiots in sunny seaside Santa Monica, and Eddie Brandt’s Saturday Matinee in bustling North Hollywood. Their stories chronicle not only the birth and twilight of a particular kind of corner store, but also decades of personal lives intertwined with those of their communities, the new challenges and facilities of a rapidly changing world, and an enduring love of the movies, a slice of Americana on the brink of disappearance yet defiant to the end.
