backyard play

I was playing around with a Vivitar ETTL flash with an Omni bounce diffuser on my 7D with a 70-200mm f2.8L lens. Would've been better off with no flash, but trying weird combos is still interesting.

















Making your own slide strap for $12.00

I recently lost my $60.00 Black Rapids strap for a single SLR, so I built this from parts at Home Depot for 12 bucks. The camera rests on your hip until you pull to your eye and shoot, then it slides back to the hip. This works way better than having a beast hanging around your neck for hours. I've even attached a small bag for batteries, memory, and a cleaning cloth. I also use two mounting points to disperse the load and prevent catastrophic clip failure.








curly peppers

I'm getting some strange peppers this year, but they're tasting good, no where near as hot as last year's medley.



Low Land Cajun Boil

I shot a wedding today and witnessed the largest cajun boil I've ever seen go down.

Here's a link explaining it better:

Brendan Jaccarino took some pics of me and my new girlfriend at a wedding we shot the other day.
