Photographers’ geek time

Here is a photo pit at the Beijing’s Olympics. Others have counted 38 Canons and 45 Nikons. And 3 females.

Also, check out this NFL Maden 09 video game trailer. Look at the sideline. You will see a lot of photographers, and some of them are even chimping!

Make sure you caption correctly

I have been told many time to write down my captions correctly, because you never know when the copy editor will just copy and past them without even looking at it. Well, here is the proof in this Top 20 Jay Leno Headlines. You can fast-forward to the number 1 at the very end, but the whole thing is funny as hell, so enjoy!

Can You Spare Some Change?

Wonder if Cindy would mind if I take a mortgage on the house to buy this 1200mm lens.

To give you a sense of scale, here is another photo. Cute asian girl is not included in the price.

Bravia Stop-motion commercial

After the “Balls” commercial:

And the “paint” commercial:

Bravia amazes us again with the “Play-Do” commercial. The fun part for us is that it is actualy a stop-motion movie. See how they did it on the Bravia website (click Play-do ad for the movie, and then “watch the making of”)

A photographer shut down an airport

I was ready to ask questions, but he had a few for me. “Are you Eileen Blass” Yup, I said. “Are you flying out on Delta?” Uh huh. “Did you check a large black bag?” Yes. Then I heard my heartbeat in my head. Andrea and I looked at each other. Huh? This was my entire fault?

I stepped outside to catch my breath. Oh…my…God…the media had arrived. Live TV trucks, a reporter doing a stand up, video being shot, a still photographer walking around, a man carrying a reporter’s notebook. It was “breaking news.” Watching the scene unfold, I felt like I was watching my own funeral. It was creepy.

That is funny, except when you are the onw involved, I guess!
