Here's a photo from the wedding. This weekend I'll be cleaning up some of the photos so I may add one or two later, but for now this will have to do.

I discovered what a pain in the ass it is to shoot weddings. I don't think I'd want to do it as a living, or even as a part-time gig. Changing light conditions, things jumping into the frame, people blinking, etc. Add to that the inherent problems of shooting candids. Not to mention problems with high contrast when shooting in midday light, and then switching over to a very dimly-lit reception. I'm used to nature photography, where everthing is slow and methodical, the camera is in full manual mode, etc. Anyway, I still managed to get a handful of decent photos. Nice thing is that these days nearly everyone has a decent digital camera, so there was no shortage of photos.

Ian and Elizabeth...congratulations, again.

First, I want to give a huge congratulations to Ian and Elizabeth, who just got married last Saturday. I'll have some pictures up soon from the wedding. Thanks for letting me be a part of your day, and hope to see you guys soon. Next, I want to wish my friend Jason and crew good luck when they go to Japan in a little over a week. Jason will be blogging the trip on his new site, so keep an eye on his site for updates and photos. Finally, I've upgraded to MT 3.2 which has more tools for dealing with spammers, so I've enabled comments again, for now.

Yeah, I stole that quote from Bugs Bunny, so what? I also have to say "so what" to the highly-anticipated, super-secret, market-shocking announcement from Apple about their phone/music player combo. Ummm, hi...I've been playing music on my phone for well over a year now. Actually, I take that back. To be completely honest, I very briefly did, but then stopped when the realities of low-capacity SD memory cards, low battery life, etc., sort of killed that idea. I thought it would be cool...it wasn't...and still isn't.

This ground-breaking deal doesn't make much sense to me. Last I checked, most kids have phones AND iPods already. So we're going to try to sell them yet *another* device that costs as much as their iPod, yet has 1/80th of the storage capacity? Oh, sure, SD cards will increase in capacity and get cheaper as the years go on and battery life will go up. At the very least, this idea is a bit premature. It'll be interesting to see how the market takes to it.

My buddy Ian points out that my entry on dating a geek (which is really just a link) is the 8th link listed on a Google search of "date a geek". Don't ask me how that happened. Here is another good read, through one of links on the first page of hits.
