Video is the new buzz

We are working hard to do more video storytelling on the site. Our first video effort premiered in 2000. Staff photojournalist Josh Meltzer did a video story on professional wrestler Tony Atlas -- I've kept it on the site just to show where we started from.

Most recently I did a story on the Cooper family, who water ski on Smith Mountain Lake. (It was also great to get out on the lake for a day, and get away from Web development -- how I miss the days back when I was a photojournalist.)

Last month, I also did a video story on Clay Johnson a local martial arts teacher.

We are trying to do more video as we learn the tools and software to do so.

Of course, if you want some really cool video produced daily check out the TimesCast.
