This clip of a horse race shot by photographer Dan Chung is a testament to how much potential there is in the new dslr's from Canon. The video was shot at 60fps on Canon's new camera, and slowed down to 23.93fps. The possibilities are limitless with video becoming a prominent medium for work in the industry. With print publications moving to online solutions and camera technology becoming more hybrid than ever, video as well as still production is the future.
In the coming year, I'll be putting that technology to the test creating a new product line. I look forward to development and I look forward to the possibilities... More to come...
I picked up a Canon Powershot G10 a couple days ago, and I love carrying what amounts to a rangefider/point & shoot - perfect street camera and personal/family camera on those days where hauling big gear just isn't in the cards. Totally shocked with the output of the G10, I've heard only the best things about it and it certainly lives up to its reviews. It is not in anyway a replacement for the larger SLRs, but works great for being compact, 100percent controllable and awesome all around. For the shot of Gabe and I, I put a 580exII in the hotshoe of the G10 and aimed it up at the ceiling - iso 80 with fantastic results.
Friend and colleague, Grant Perry, of Grant Deb Photographers in Newport News, VA wrote a killer article about how to make sure your wedding photographer is right for you, and how to go about choosing the person who will ultimately record your awesome wedding day. It definitely shouldn't be all about price, nor should it be all about the photographer's work - obviously the work needs to be top notch (and both Grant and Deb have it hooked up in the skills department) - It should be about the connection you have with the photog and the passion and energy they have for creating dope images for you...

I was contracted by the Virginia Arts Festival to bring a fresh, creative look to the International Tattoo this year. Thanks to Kelly Harlan for all your hard work and for making sure I had all the access I needed to do what I do. Here are some of my favorites...
At a numerous points during the show I was onstage with the band. This made for some unique perspectives of concert photography. This was a fantastic shoot, and with the dynamic range of the 5DmarkII there was NO problem getting what I wanted out of the night. Total blast. Thanks to Jason Ratliff from the Sandler Center for taking care of me, thanks to Wullie - Dave's road manager, to Stephanie at PRA Records, and to the guys in the two bands for making the photographing about as cool as it could have been.
I passed this old house in a field on my way to pick up cookies from Shockley's Sweet Shoppe near Red Mill in Va Beach. I love the look of the tree out front.
