Here’s a great multimedia video by the Rocky Mountain News and Media Storm – produced from their 24 hour, round the clock, coverage of the Democratic National Convention..
It’s running time is about 20 minutes – I believe it’s worth the time when you have it, and suggest allowing the clip to load completely before viewing as it will help prevent some choppiness and streaming issues that may occur otherwise.

Just a quick post with some links to share of images from the Olympics..
This is particularly cool – it’s been shown on the NBC broadcasts a number of times, but in case you missed it (or if you want to check it out directly) – it’s a frame by frame sequence of Michael Phelps 1/100th of a second victory in the 100 meter butterfly – by Sports Illustrated’s legendary Heinz Kluetmeier from an underwater remote camera looking straight up at the finish.. amazing.
Additionally, Sports Illustrated has an extended online photo gallery of the games – here
A very nice frame from the Laoshan velodrome, by Mike Powell, is Newsweek’s Picture of the Day – here.
If you like that one, look for the photo also from the velodrome, by Nick Laham of Getty Images from a couple of days ago – it is in this gallery of wonderful pictures from Stern Magazine – please note, some of these images are a bit graphic or risque and may not be “Safe for Work” viewing.. here.

PS – If anybody reads this that knows how trackbacks work, I’d appreciate any help you are willing to provide – I’ve had them work and had them not work.. I’d like to know how to make them work. Thanks!
Ok, I’m back with another note regarding the campaign that I assisted on last week.
Tonight, I’m giving the WordPress iPhone app a trial run. (I think) I can post a picture from my phone, and it gave me an idea that sparked Part 2 of the story which I think you’ll agree has a sort of completed circle vibe to it. ( if that doesn’t make sense, hopefully it will by the time you read the story and if not, hopefully, I will come up with a more sensible analogy for you by then.)
During the four day shoot, I snapped a number of photos on my iphone – in all honesty, I wished I’d had a P & S in my hand, for more control (ie manual settings) however, the job was assisting not shooting, and I was travelling as light as possible.
Anyway, I was flipping through the pictures while on the train today, and one of them is the one below. (that must have been taken while the phone was en route to my pocket)
The orange colored device is called a Vagabond II Portable Power System. This job was my first experience with them. The Vagabond is essentially a battery (cell) with a built in Inverter which provides AC power – outlets – from which you can power a laptop or re-charge a battery, or, in this case, power the lights we were using.
