"As the shadows of winter pass/May your warmth replace your cold days at last."

So narrates Elliot Gray Van Orman in his latest video montage of Rochester and Rochester Hills.

Patch readers first met Van Orman, an Adams High School grad, in February when we showed off his short documentary A Rochester Winter. Today, he premieres his latest film, A Rochester Spring.

"And always dream forever, for you never know what it can bring/Especially with this wonderful Rochester spring," Van Orman reads.

We could not agree more.

Van Orman has a video blog at www.egvoproductions.blogspot.com and a Facebook page at www.facebook.com/egvoproductions.
