I Feel the Need, the Need for Speed

At the Modern Media Man Conference I was able to test drive a Chevy Camaro. Getting into this car was a dream. The seat hugged me in a real manly way and I felt like I was in the cockpit of a fighter jet (not that I know what that is like but that is how I described it, actually I said rocket ship). This was the stuff of little boys dreams. Now, as a big boy I was channeling my little boy self being so excited that I was driving the car that is a Transformer. It was certainly a much better ride than my boring old sensible Honda Civic.

I can understand now why Chris Brogan drives two towns over for a pack of gum. 🙂

I took the video camera along with me once again to capture the experience.


Chevrolet was an amazing sponsor for this event and I can’t thank them enough for supporting Dads and Dad Bloggers by being a sponsor.

Disclosure: – The video was shot on the versatile Kodak PlaySport camera that I received for free to film the Roger Williams Paddle back in July. I’ve quickly made it my favorite video camera and in a pinch still camera.

Heading to Digital Days Boston

Later this morning I’m heading up to Boston to attend Digital Days, a digital photography seminar. I ran a contest this past month to give away 6 2-Day passes to Digital Days in Palm Springs, Boston, San Francisco, New York, Nashville and Atlanta. We had many great submissions and one of the winners, Paul Richardson, sent me photos that he took at the Palm Springs Digital Days event as well as a statement about the great time he had there.

I’ve just spent one of the best weekends of my life getting to know more about photography, both the technical aspects and creativity. Digital Days is such a wonderful workshop for camera hacks like me. I met some nice people and the event staff was really great. The classroom work was extremely informative and the model shoot was so fun. I highly recommend attending the event if it comes to a town near you. So, thanks to BenSpark.com for the opportunity to attend.

Here are some of Paul’s shots from the live model shoot on day two.

I think that Paul did some amazing work. I hope that mine are just as good. Can’t wait to see what this event is all about. So much to learn.
