Windows 7 feature review: Libraries

By Brett · Comments (0)
Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

windows_7_vienna_logo This is an update to my Windows 7 experience and a look at one of my favorite features. I’ve been using Windows 7 full time for about a week now and it’s really beginning to feel like home. The virtual tour software that I use in my business installed and runs like a champ, so unless Microsoft really screws up the pricing model when they release Windows 7 (i.e. make it too expensive) then I don’t see any reason why I’d have to go back to XP.

Release Windows 7!

I think it’s ready too Kelly!

Kelly Poe is a big fan of Windows 7. So big he started a site to campaign for the release of Windows 7, the newest operating system from Microsoft. I just voted yes!

As Kelly says though, I want Microsoft to take all the necessary time it needs to make sure it is fully baked. Just don’t put it off waiting on more Vista revenue. It ain’t gonna happen! Read More→

Windows 7 Beta Review

By Brett · Comments (0)
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

unofficial-windows7-logoWhen Windows Vista was launched I was just starting my Middle Tennessee and Northern Alabama Virtual Tour company. I was advised to avoid Vista at that time because of the propriatery virtual tour and photo stitching software that I would be using.

Fast forward a couple of years and I still have only touched one system running Vista. I’m going to be a bit more brave with Windows 7. I downloaded the beta over the weekend and installed it on my old system. Read More→

I first saw this video on Strobist.com and I just had to share it. You will get the most mileage out of this if you keep up with the digital photography community online. If not, it will still be pretty funny. Enjoy!

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Recently Kyle Johnson and I partnered up to start producing highlight films for high school sports starting with Loretto High School. Running back and defensive back Cody Cozart was the first victim. Take a look and please let us know what you think by leaving a comment. If you know of a college recruiter looking for a good running back, feel free to share.

David Weathers Charities Golf Tournament

By Brett · Comments (0)
Thursday, November 13th, 2008

We have a local celebrity in Loretto, TN. David Weathers has been a Major League Baseball player for a lot of years and for a lot of teams. If I’m not mistaken he has also played in five World Series. He currently plays for the Cincinnati Reds.

A great guy, David and his wife Kelli started David Weathers Charities in 2003 to champion causes for children in Lawrence County, TN. We’re very proud of him for that because they do a lot for the community.

David and I played baseball together back in the late eighties at Loretto High School. This year I volunteered to be the photographer at the Celebrity Golf Tournament that the charity hosts annually. The event was held at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail course in Muscle Shoals, AL. Read More→

A camera lens rental company review

By Brett · Comments (0)
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

A couple of weeks ago I wanted to use a Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR lens on a photo shoot that I had coming up , but I wasn’t prepared to spend the almost $1700 MSRP for a new one. Luckily now there are several lens rental companies that have sprung up to meet the needs of photogs like me who are getting started and realize the difference that a pro lens can make, but aren’t quite prepared to fork over that much dough.

Even renting such a lens costs more than the kit lens on your DSLR so I wanted to find a good company to rent from at the best price and service combination. As usual I researched several companies and I think I found a gem. More after the jump. . . Read More→
