Well time flies... people get busy and forget they have a blog. In a wink of an eye almost two years have passed since we last posted something here. Our bad.
Michael keeps working on video. Wedding videography has dwindled down while documentaries have picked up. In the past few months he has done one right after the other. He had a chance to go to north Texas to interview a @Kibramoahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05758109295876029545noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4397915774805791236.post-56595539161499385602012-03-21T17:04:00.001-05:002012-03-21T17:06:58.090-05:00Edith on TVEdith was featured on a Jonesboro, AR TV station while teaching a class.

Many who read it thought it was good and recommended I re-print it somewhere. So I'm re-printing it here. The president of the church had asked for an informative 'blurb' about what all Edith has gone through to get her green card. I started writing and realized there was just too much information to condense down into a paragraph.

No special reason just a good time. Sometimes we grill so we don't have to cook all week. The meat is done so all we have to do is make side dishes.Tonight we cooked steaks, chicken and burgers. Plus we put some fixin's in foil and baked them. We ate the burgers but since we had the charcoal going, why waste it? We threw on all the other meat!It's great, and now Jay / Edithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15861954945282995632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4397915774805791236.post-61543737161726923192011-03-04T15:13:00.000-06:002011-03-04T15:14:43.592-06:00Unboxing the Canon HV40In an unrelenting effort to go totally HD I purchased a Canon HV40 for my company. This gives me a total of three HD cameras for wedding production. I have an HV30, HV40 and Flip Ultra HD.During weddings I use the Flip to catch angles by hiding it in the floral arrangement or on a balcony. With the new HV40 we now have two HD cameras to shoot with and run & gun.

We went to dinner on Saturday to Phoenicia. It's a Lebanese restaurant in Ocean Springs. Then to the Hard Rock Casino to watch a concert. The Pink Floyd Experience was playing.I've never seen the actual Pink Floyd and since the band is older they may never tour again. So, this is the next best thing and they were every bit a good Pink Floyd replacement.
