June/July 2009
.JPG)
I just shot my 30,000th image for the year, so I thought I'd cobble some of my recent photos into a slideshow. I shot these images in June /July of 2009 in Austin, Aspen, Pensacola, San Diego, and the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
These images were all captured on one of the following:
- Canon EOS 50D with a Canon BG-E2 battery grip and a Canon L-series image-stabilized, ultra-sonic telescopic zoom lens (EF 100-400mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM) with an ET-83C hood.
- Canon EOS 40D with an image-stabilized, ultra-sonic telescopic zoom lens (EF-S 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM).
The images are compiled into an 17 Meg (4:23) Adobe Flash slideshow(hello.swf) that you should be able to open and view with any browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc.). To view the slideshow, just click on the photo above. If you want to view the slideshow as a Windows executable, you can play this version (hello.exe), and it allows you to play, pause, skip forward, backwards, etc.
Image post-processing was done in Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. The slideshow was created using Imagematics Stillmotion Pro.
The soundtrack is Hello It's Me by Todd Rundgren. I chose this song because when I was in college, I saw that someone owned one of his CD's and I've never heard a singe song by Todd Rundgren that I liked in the least. So, I was always perplexed by why he would have bought that CD. Then I heard this song in the background of a movie recently (The Virgin Suicides, I think?) and I googled it and finally found one song that Todd Rundgren sings that I actually like, and this made me feel a lot better. Like a salve for 20 years of angst.
Lyrics in the extended entry.

HELLO IT'S ME
TODD RUNDGREN
Hello, it's me, I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much but something's wrong
there's something here that doesn't last too long.
Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine.
Seeing you, or seeing anything as much as I do you,
I take for granted that you're always there,
I take for granted that you just don't care.
Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through.
It's important to me
that you know you are free
Cause I never want to make you change for me
Think of me, you know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
or if I ever need a reason to smile and spend the night if you think I should
It's important to me
that you know you are free
Cause I never want to make you change for me
Think of me you know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
or if I ever need a reason to smile and spend the night if you think I should
Think of me...think of me...think of me
