I had the absolute pleasure of traveling to Waikiki a few weeks ago to be a part of a joyous celebration of Jinny and Dan's union in marriage. And when I say joyous, I really mean it because everyone was so happy! It was an intimate and beautiful wedding held on the balcony of the Sheraton Waikiki overlooking the ocean with a gentle cool breeze beneath the warm sun and blue sky. What more can you ask for?
Working alongside the wedding photographers of L'amour Photography, I would have to say that the wedding was planned perfectly by Katy Castillo of Katy Castillo Weddings. Throughout the entire day, you just couldn't wipe the smile off the groom's face. From the first look moment when he yelled "Oh my God!" to the crazy dancing he performed into the night, he was simply a very happy man. Thank you for letting us be a part of your special moment.
Here is the wedding highlight of Jinny and Dan's wedding.
For those technical geeks, I used 2 Canon 7Ds, 1 slider, 1 Glidecam 4000pro, 1 Tokina 11-16mm f2.8, 1 Canon EF 50mm f1.4, 1 Canon EF 70-200 f2.8, a few sticks, and a lot of energy. Thanks to my 2nd shooter, George.
I finally got the 7D this week. I had been using the Panasonic GH1 for the past several months and loved the look and small form factor of shooting HD video with these small DSLRs. The GH1 was nice...but now the 7D.
I wanted to see how the glidecam would function with the 7D on it since it is much lighter than the HMC150 I had been using on the glidecam. With the Tokina 11-16mm lens, it wasn't too bad. I had to get used to the lighter weight but slowly I seemed to get the hang of it.
The UofW campus is a lovely place and it was a cold but lovely day. And I got to end it with a deliciously tasty treat from Lois @ Haagen Dazs. MMMMM.
Have you guys ever wondered what happens to those reality TV show stars after their 15 minutes of fame are up? I mean, they're not really "stars" in the true sense of the word...they were regular people like you and me before they seized their "15 minutes of fame." So what do they do after their time is up?
James Sun, who was a finalist on Season 6 of Donald Trump's show, The Apprentice, answers that question by allowing us to see what he does now in a given day, several years after the show aired. If you ever saw that season of The Apprentice, you'll probably agree that James should have won as he clearly out-performed everyone on the show. However, in retrospect, it all worked out for James because he has been able to leverage his appearance on the show and the "fame" that followed to bigger and better opportunities. He not only runs his own internet company, Geopage.com, he is also currently hosting a new show to be aired on BBC and National Geographic called "Sun Tzu War on Business." Both in business and entertainment, I think it's safe to say that James is no longer an apprentice.
Here is a short trailer for "A Day in the Llife: James Sun". Main web feature is coming soon.
