Video is simply a different medium to express with. I take a lot of random photographs: I really like it when I find a pretty weed against a building, a nice reflection in a broken car window (junkyard picture). Abandoned houses are full of gems. I find this stuff just walking around the city and being out in the countryside. I rarely take pictures of people. If I want to document a memory, I document the pretty things I see (in general). But I'll take a video of a partially frozen creek that is flanked with snow: It captures the creek in a different way than the still pictures I took. A combination of stillness and the sounds of flowing water and the sun gleaming off of different sparkling and shining surfaces - I just cannot capture that in film the same way, not all at once. (Don't get me wrong, the stills were pretty wonderful). I take video of the fireworks out my window on new years. It is pretty spectacular sometimes (not to mention easier to capture on a cell phone). Yet a video of Northern Lights isn't always more beautiful unless you are seeing them dance in the sky. Of course, maybe I just use these differently than most folks - outside of the hundreds of pet photos I take.
