to celebrate sasquatch

like Billy Ray Cyrus
getting all Achy Breaky
bigfoot is tired of us
wants our cameras shaky

all that blur
almost his symbol
does it occur 
because of hand tremble

the sd cards
we shot them full
it's kind of hard 
to learn the gimbal

to celebrate sasquatch
the gimbal I'll learn
as he waits & watches
from the ferns

Around 3 weeks ago I took some photos and video to put on this blog. When I got ready to edit the video I realized that the footage really wasn’t smooth or “cinematic” enough to use. So in preparation for the Red River Gorge Bigfoot Fest I purchased a gimbal. I anticipated that there would be a learning curve in getting it paired with the camera and learning how to use it. But hopefully it will allow me to return from Red River Gorge with video footage that we can put up on the blog this time.

So the blog should be pretty close to having a you tube channel. I am in the process of registering and learning how to fly a drone to shoot video footage to put on this blog. When I told my nephew that I was going to get a gimbal he suggested that I should consider a chicken. He then sent me a video in support of his recommendation. I have included a link to the short (2:28) video below. And I will have to admit it would be pretty dramatic and hilarious to show up with a chicken. But I think that in the interest of logistics and convenience I will just try to learn the gimbal at this point.

I guess if I were out in the woods trying to video tape bigfoot that the chicken could do double duty as a lure. But as you already know if you have read the blog I have no interest in trying to get a picture of bigfoot. But we are planning on taking several pictures at Red River Gorge. Who knows we may even take a few of you : )

night in the day

a shadow
is the night
knows that slow
hides in sight

as it sneaks
thru the day
does not speak
it hides away

it is still
remains and lurks
the canvas it fills
like a painter works

it is where 
mind rarely sees
like the blur
there in the trees

Try to take some time to look at the information on the Bigfoot Festival at Red River Gorge. It may be educational to just look at the list of speakers and list of activities. The line up of speakers is impressive.

The Kentucky Bigfoot Research Organization has been around for 3 decades. Its founder and president is Charles or Charlie Raymond. He has kind of been the ambassador for all things bigfoot in Kentucky for some time. He is also the author of Bluegrass Bigfoot. This is the 1st bigfoot book I ever read. I have read a lot more books since then. But that is still the book I would recommend that you start with.

Who better to write a book introducing you to the world of bigfoot than someone who has travelled all over the state and country doing it for thirty years. It’s a good first step into the world that this blog draws inspiration from. I still find myself going back to look something up in it from time to time. After you have read several books on the subject it will probably become a little more difficult to remember exactly which book a story was in. Or if it was in an internet podcast or video. At that point you are probably getting pretty well versed on the subject.

Hope this is a great day for you!

I am linking a You Tube Short that I shot at the 2025 Pope Lick Goatman Festival. In it Charlie talks about his new book.

Here is the link to the video.
