Sorry for the lack of updates

I have been slacking (aka. working like crazy)! So while I put together some new posts, enjoy this video of puppies sleeping:

BMW GINA Light Visionary Model Concept

I know this is a photography blog, but I also happen to be a HUGE motor head. Just saw this video an amazing BMW concept vehicle. It is a design study asking the question, with todays amazingly strong car frames, do we really need a metal skin for automobiles? What if it was an evolving skin? It is pretty amazing (and a little bit creepy)

Amazing Lamborghini Gallardo ad

Just thought this was so cool

The Flip - mobile video recorder

www.theflip.com

My friend and talented country singer Rockie Lynne was nice enough to give me a Flip Video Ultra Player on a recent trip to Nashville (thanks Rockie!). This cool little device (sells for about $150) takes an hour worth of video in the form of an mpeg4 avi file.

The model I was given has 2 gigs of memory, takes up to 60 minutes of video, has a 1.5" lcd screen (528x132 pixels), captures video at 640x480 at 30 frames per second, has a microphone and speaker for audio capture and playback, works on 2 AA batteries, and has a built-in pop-up USB plug (means no card readers or cables :) ). I plan on keeping this baby in my camera bag. It is so compact!

Here is some sample video I took while I was in-studio with the band 3 Doors Down recently:

One more clip. Here is my loyal companion, Winston Churchill, taking a nap next to my desk:
