Sidewalk project!!

A buddy of mine is really involved in arts and charitable giving. This weekend he had a great project where artists can put up their art and the procedes go to charity!! www.sidewalkproject.org

Anywho since my "art" was on display I thought I would take pictures there. Packed up some of my off camera lighting equipment (barebones: stand, flash, and pocketwizards) and was off. To my surprise there was an incredible singer there who was the "Headliner" of the show... Great stuff!! kinda sappy songs but very talented nonetheless!!! You can find him at: http://www.myspace.com/tjeaustin

here are some of the pics:

diy r-strap

Just reposting the post i submitted on DIYphotography.net

Here is a quick R-Strap recipe by Hee Soo Shin:

1. Take a strap from a messenger bag. You can take one from a bag you no longer use, or buy a new one for close to nothing at goodwill.

2. For this hack, Hee Soo, took one of the quick connects by Bogen tripod, but you can also use a 3/4 bolt with an extension. Or,
you can use an L bracket from the bottom part of a cactus v2s receiver mount.

3. Use a buckle to fasten the two ends of the strap together...

4. For shoulder pad, you can use what ever came with the messenger bag strap, or use a shoulder strap pad from a guitar store(7 bucks))

Voila... DIY R-strap.. it's super comfortable and the great part is at weddings when you have to have 2 camera's with flashunit in the hotshoe it's totally out of your way and you don't have 2 flash units sticking up at you.

They turned out better than i thought they would.. But , always being hard on myself, I know I can do better... Gotta think more before I click the shutter... To my credit, however, these were all taken with my single back-up camera and ONE lens... Just shows that the gear doesn't matter... anyways here's some teasers!! (LMK if there are problems with the pictures displaying..)

Oh and if you want any pictures, I have allowed downloads on the site (check the right side of each picture)... Also check the slideshow... I love the song it's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

Oh and there are NO pictures of me so don't ask... hahaha

Congrats

Congrats Billy and Mei Mei Kim....

Many more photos will be up soon once I get clearance from the happy couple!!
