Photography
I rock Canon gear, my flavors are usually in night and model photography, but I've got a passion for it all. When my eyes first met the viewfinder, it was like love at first click.
Design
I'm a graphic designer by trade and by degree. Everything we use requires a design, from the fingers you're typing with to the can of diet coke on your desk (how can you drink that crap, I mean really?) and I like to take a part in making the world a pretty place.
What else?
Everything. If someone wrote a tutorial, manual, guidebook, or pamphlet on it, I can do it, may have done it before, or would at least be able to give it an earnest try. I'm a mean rock climbing cook who can fix your car and rewire you're house. Oh, I run a pc repair business, I've been a drummer for 11 years, and I like cats.

Let's talk about Vista. Aug 10
I've been saying the same things for the last year and a half, but now that I feel Vista has matured to a robust vintage, while Microsoft bumbles their way through a half-hearted attempt at a product revitalizing marketing campaign, I'd like to return to the points I've al...
Once upon a downtime...
Well, I don't have any really. I've got too many hobbies for my own good. But I do like the history channel, the discovery channel, I'm a scrubs fan, and I've recently taken on the task of watching the entire Stargate:SG1 series. Les Stroud from Survivorman is awesome. Keith and The Girl and This Week in Tech regularly grace my ipod.
Sound Waves
If its got a beat or a melody, theres a good chance I like it. Ska, Jazz, Rock, Punk, Symphonic, Opera, Bluegrass, Rockabilly, Blues, Pop, etcetera, etcetera. My tunes for the summer are: RX Bandits, Martin Sexton, Mika, and Amy Winehouse.
I can has pretty moving pictures?
O' Brother, Where Art Thou? Has thou seen The Shawshank Redemption? Catch Me If You Can, the Big Fish are coming for The Gangs of New York. See what I did there?

You know what? Don't see enough of you on virb. Can I invite you to some fun groups (assuming you want to play on the place)? It probably seems really quiet around here but it isn't really...

LOL! How's it going, my friend? I really have not improved much at all over the past few months...been too busy to work on it. I did dabble in a little HDR and *gasp* kinda liked it (I know, call me a joiner).

Thank you good man! You've gotta way with words. BBF!

Hi again - and thanks for the friend add. See you around the place - feel free to join any or all of the groups and join in the fun.

I may as well add a comment on your profile before I start following you on twitter (seems only polite). I too love cats (having two of my own) and also photography. That's about it - hello - and see you over on twitter if you follow back (/madmoo)

Home sweet home is central Georgia, the buckle of the proverbial bible belt and one of the last places on earth where you can still see the stars because the city lights don't make such a glow as to drown them out. I am, however, originally from eastern Mass - I just don't call it home anymore because the only thing there for me now is my relatives. And I only half like them :P

I was indeed curious...and I was going to give you a week or so to break it in before I asked your thoughts on it. I would imagine that it would be quite top heavy on the 350/400D. A monopod might be an alternative to add some weight and stability until you can upgrade to a heavier camera body? I usually pick up new equipment with my tax refunds, but I'm not so sure I can wait on this one...gonna have to sit on my hands or my "treasurer" will shoot me.

Oh, but the hot lamps come in handy in the dead of winter! I'm hittin' the hay. Catch you on the flip side.

I had noticed that on the BH site, too. I had been turned on to strobist.com as an "affordable" alternative by a couple of my flickr contacts, but by the time I invest in everything I'd need there (and with flashes that aren't fully in sync), I could just as easily have spent a little more for the transmitter and either the 430EX or 580EX. A good lighting system is definitely my next investment though.

That's it...rub it in. :-P I thought I might be able to pick up a 580 EX Mark I when the Mark II came out, but they're nowhere to be found...everybody must have had the same idea.

Yeah I want to but I've been too busy to get out and take a good picture and you cant use old ones. So I might see what I can do this week. I havent even had a chance to check out everyone's submissions yet.

You must have commented on my profile as I was responding to your latest blog! (incidentally there were two of them - one showed a blank page when you clicked the link). Anyway, no problems - I see you on twitter so it really doesn't matter too much to me. Whatever works for you. (and a flickr account is really easy to set up and free too - you can probably do it in 5 or 10 mins, assuming you have a yahoo account - and maybe even if not). See you around.
