Pebble and Twine: two great connected objects that go together like peanut butter and chocolate.

Twine, the easiest way to connect your objects to the Internet, will integrate the Pebble smartwatch as an output to rules. In Twine's web app, you'll be able to send notification of real-world events, like a basement flooding or a door opening, to your Pebble. The possibilities multiply with these two devices, and we expect our backers will come up with yet more great ideas.

First video making experience, first highline i tried...
I shot this film in the Verdon, in "Cirque de Sordidon".
At first, i'm a photographer, but this time i decided to film what i saw (i'm not on the video).

Try standing up on a highline is not the easyest thing i did, making my own video of this amazing trip neither.

I Really hope you'll like it...
Thanks to every body who was there, it was such an amazing moment!!!

This project was created with the same spirit that america was founded on. Our intentions are to connect everyone in america through the lens of this camera and social networking sites. We can't do this without you. We want to tell your story and show your city or town through photographs of you, and people you know. As we travel around america looking for people and places to shoot you will be able to keep track of where we are going and help us decide where we go next. Join us in our journey by liking our facebook to get yourself photographed by us.

An extra special thanks to Brandon Rein, Scotty Hoffman and Trevor Atwater.
