Seeing the videos from people from around the world as windows into their life, little holes we can peek through.

My first video on a blog was a so-called momentshowing - I showed part of my surrounding in the wintertime in Bergen.

Since then, videoblogging has developed far and wide, and “youtubing” has become a verb, and there are hundreds of new shows popping up, from around the world.

The last months I have, for personal reasons, been pretty much away from the scene, only talking with my friends and contacts within the vlogosphere now and then. And now I return to see what is going on, and I notice these lumiere videos popping up here and there. I talk with Andreas, who points me to this post on his site where he explains the context for it.

This holds truth, to me.

The limitations help me get started on this thing called videoblogging again. Putting videos on a blog.

So my first lumiere video is a scene from my room earlier today. I had not shaved, or taken a shower yet. The bare wall behind me, the trees outside.

A lumiere video, as Andreas has defined it, has the following rules:

* 60 seconds max.
* Fixed camera
* No audio
* No zoom
* No edit
* No effects

Minimalist videoblogging, yay! See all the other lumiere videos here.
