Accounting 101- Southwest Airlines Style

During Southwest's recent Shareholder's meeting, they invited their "rapping flight attendant" to perform a rap about GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). Watch the video below for a humorous look at understanding GAAP.

Manual Video Comes to the 5D Mark II!

Finally! Canon announced that a firmware update for the 5D Mark II, my main camera, will be made available in June that will allow the user to manually control the exposure when in Video mode.  I think that this update is going to be a major step forward in the use of the 5DII as a combination camera, shooting both stills and video.  After I apply this firmware update to my camera, I have a feeling that I will be using the video mode a lot more than I do now.  I was thinking about purchasing a consumer grade camcorder to explore the realm of videography this summer.  That thought has now left my mind after this announcement, because soon I will be shooting 1080p video with 35mm depth-of-field.  Oh yeah, I'll also be able to shoot 21.1mp stills at the same time!  Life is going to be good come June.  Thanks for a great Birthday Gift Canon!

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme...

Were all in attendance at the final weekend of Scarborough Faire and so was I.  Scarborough Faire is a Renaissance themed festival beginning the first weekend in April and ending on Memorial Day.  The varied events and shows with period costumes make Scarborough Faire an interesting and very enjoyable photographic experience.  The photo at the right is one of the photos I took at the Faire on Saturday, May 23, immediately following a rain storm and the gentlemen in period costume is continuing to enjoy the Faire despite the inclement weather that forced many people to take cover under various pavilions.  Does anyone else know of any other Renaissance festivals happening in or around Texas in the near future?  If so, please let me know because I enjoy making images at these events.

Breaking the Silence

After several months of not posting, I'm back! Over the past few months I feel that I have evolved photographically and I'm looking forward to my continued evolution. If you would like to follow my evolution as a photographer as well as get any updates on my various projects, please subscribe or follow my blog. Also, follow me on Twitter.
