Check out this short video clip testing the quality difference between film (Nikon F5) and digital (Nikon D700). If for no other reason, you should watch it just to hear the cool British accents!

Our good friends and colleagues, Bill & Kelli Nixon, just posted a really neat wedding on their Blog. In it they have a REALLY COOL shot of the bride & groom dancing on a checkerboard floor with some dramatic lighting in the corners. I LOVED the image as soon as I saw it. Then when I read their post, I was TOTALLY FLATTERED! This image was created at Kelly & Aaron’s wedding at Lowndes Grove Plantation last year. It made the cover of their Storybook Album, and I believe was also in Charleston Magazine. Bill & Kelli, I’m truly blessed to know you. I’m always getting ideas from you two as well…you guys ROCK!

Paige amp; Joe joined their lives in front of a PACKED sanctuary at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Mt. Pleasant last week. Pastor Steve Woods led a spirit-filled service. The celebrations continued at the Carolina Yacht Club long into the night. As Paige amp; Joe made their grand escape by boat, they were treated with a surprise trail of glowing hot-air balloons in the sky. What an AWESOME day for such a COOL couple!!! br /diviframe title=”Showit Web Slideshow” style=”BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000″ src=”http://www.chrisandcami.com/slideshows/PaigeAndJoe/iframe.html” frameborder=”0″ width=”510″ scrolling=”no” height=”690″/iframe/div

Earlier this year, ESPN announced the creation of the Charleston Classic, an eight-team men’s college basketball tournament that is being played this weekend. The tournament will feature 12 games, for three days, and will be the first event held at the 5,000-seat Carolina First Center on the campus of the College of Charleston. I have the privilege of being the official photographer of the event. So on Thursday I got to photograph the Welcoming Ceremony held on the historic Yorktown. General Hugh Grant gave an inspirational message to the young athletes!

Mike Saia, the Communications Manager at the Family Circle Cup, just shared this new add with me. It’s with a photo I took of Serena Williams, last year’s Champion. It appears in Play Tennis Florida, Florida’s official USTA publication – distributed to approximately 60K players throughout the state. Mike is such a great guy! He writes: “Here’s one of my favorite shots from the 08 FCC in one of our first regional ads.”

As you can imagine, they’re gearing up for the 2009 tournament over there at the Family Circle Tennis Center. It’s a TON of work. But that’s an event I look forward to photographing every year!

My good friend Byron shared this with me. It is TRULY INSPIRATIONAL! How many times do we feel like giving up a dream? How many times do we wonder “is it worth it”? How often do we feel sorry for ourselves? Well…watch this for a new perspective and know that ALL things are possible…br /object height=”344″ width=”425″param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/2I0DRk8dFjIamp;hl=enamp;fs=1″param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/2I0DRk8dFjIhl=enfs=1″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”425″ height=”344″/embed/object
