A Taste of Maine with Nick and Max

On Saturday I walked around Cape Elizabeth Maine with Nick and Max. Here are some photos from our day.

Max or Johnny Knoxville?

Lost Boy?

1080p with my 5D Mark II. I just got a Vimeo plus account and I hope to incorporate videos into my repertoire and become a video artist like Knox Harrington.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II

This morning at around 9:30 AM, UPS is supposed to drop off my new Canon 5D Mark II. On Wednesday, much to my glee and surprise, my Canon 24-105mm f4.0L lens arrived ahead of schedule. Five months ago, I decided to get an a Canon XSI on a whim that I may enjoy photography. This camera opened my eyes to a new world and a passion that I never new existed.

One of the reasons I went with the 5D Mark II over a used Canon 1D or Canon 50D is the Mark II's ability to shoot 1080P video. Vincent Laforet, a Pulitzer Prize winning photographer, shot this video with a Mark II and a handful of supper nice lenses.

I hope cool things will happen with my new Camera, right now (Thursday Night), I feel like a six-year-old on Christmas Eve.

Hopefully with my with my 5D and the 24-105mm I will be able to take pictures like this, yours truly at 3 years old.

I Want To Fly

I often dream that I can fly. Not in the Superman, defying gravity and flying straight up kind of way, but in the Batman, jumping off a building and gliding way. This unceasing desire drives me to search the internet every couple months for the latest and greatest in human gliding. Sometime in I will do this.

This is most dangerous sport in the world, I wonder why.

For $1500 you can get a state-of-the-art Phoenix Vampire 3 wingsuit. Its about as close to Batman as you can get.

Think of a wonderful thought...
