Red Sky After Christmas (iPhone Picture)

Victor Cajiao — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 18:39:11 +0000

I was able to take this picture with my iPhone this morning on my way to coffee (Actually right outside of starbucks) I used the iPhone and then used OnOne Software Genuine Fractals to enlarge it to 1280X800.
Who said “The best camera is the one with you?” Well it is.

I spent some time this morning taking the great Kelby Training class WordPress Basics for photographers 2. Rafael “RC” Concepcion is a great teacher and he covered how to turn a Zoomify export into a blog post. This is my example. Thanks to Kelby Training, one of the best money investments so far this year. I have to get RC on the show. RC if you read this, please contact me.

Cirque du Soleil “Love” Review and Photo-Audio Backstage Tour

bbusschots — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 04:01:30 +0000

To say that Cirque Du Soleil’s “Love” at the Las Vegas Mirage Hotel was a work of passion would be an easy copout. However, this past week George Starcher and I were given the opportunity to get free tickets to see “Love” and experience the Beatles music in a way that must be seen to be believed. Yes, the show was fantastic; yes, you should make a point of going next time you are in Las Vegas. Those are easy things to say after experienceing the show and the music.

The highlight for George and I was the backstage tour we recorded. In this photo and audio motage recorded backstage, you will meet Ben Stephenson, the Assistant Head Carpenter for the show; and Gavin Whitely, the Audio Production Chair for “Love.” These two guys were filled with knowledge and a passion for their work and the music that leaps into the camera and microphone.

We were most impressed with how what we saw backstage, translated into a polished production that is more about the music than just the entertainment. Thanks to the folks at Cirque du Soleil for a chance to see this show from the inside out. We hope you enjoy this video as much as George and I did.

The music you hear is NOT the Beatles it’s a cover band

TSBV: Saturday at Point Vicente Lighthouse

My wife Mary and I got to go to San Pedro California yesterday and shoot the Point Vicente Lighthouse. This is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the U.S. I wanted to try out the new Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 and we don’t need much of an excuse to go out and shoot. Enjoy.
