New photo gallery online

I’ve added a new photo gallery link to the top of all the pages and have implemented a photo gallery Flickr plugin for WordPress. I like Flickr, and think this will be easier than installing a third party photo gallery software. We’ll see.

Check out my photos of Coastal Drive West, a photo shoot I went on with my cousin and photography mentor Donald Tipton.

I’ve taken a serious interest in honing my photography skills, and Don was kind enough to let me assist him on a shoot. He even gave me a few pointers along the way!

Digital Camera Followup

I just wanted to follow-up on the digital camera. I sent the camera back again at Beach Camera’s expense. After they had posession for several days I called to check on the exchange (since the quality manager promised to ship my new camera the day the old one arrived). They finally shipped the camera the next day and I received it early last week.

I am glad that the whole ordeal is finished… and I have a camera that works. Unfortunately though I just saw that Canon is releasing a new updated version of the Digital Rebel that is 8 MP, black body and a newer image processor. I have a feeling this camera will be on eBay soon!

Still no camera…

I still don’t have a camera… BeachCamera received it on Friday and still hasn’t mailed the replacement (the second replacement) out to me yet. I called this morning and they promised to mail it today. Hopefully I will get it sometime this wee – I have a photoshoot with a client I have been putting off since the first of February!

New Digital Camera

Well, I’ve been using my Canon A70 3.2 MP camera long enough. I finally upgraded to a real camera… Canon Digital Rebel 6.2 MP SLR with a 18-55MM AF lens. It came in last Friday just as I was leaving to go to Miami for a trade show. I took it to Miami and took quite a few photos. Unfortunately I forgot the tripod so the scenic photos are a little blurry.

Anyway, I got the camera home and it started malfunctioning. I just sent it back in to get it replaced. Everytime the automatic flash would deploy it gave an error message. It’ll probably take over a week for them to get it and send another one out… I was really looking forward to getting out and learning a little about photogrpahy.

Well, when the new camera comes hopefully it won’t have any problems and I can hit the ground running…
