My One Second of Fame

Well, the post that I originally planned for tonight will have to wait until later. The photo I need is on Nick's camera...at the shop.

So, I thought I would show you guys this instead. There is a photographer named "Becker." Like Cher or Madonna, in the photography industry he is known by one name. He lives in the LA/Orange County area and is famous for his wedding photography...I'm talking charging $15-25,0000 per wedding. Very high end. Along with being a well-known photographer, he is also very generous in teaching his knowledge to new photographers. If you've ever noticed, his blog is one of the links on my blog....right now, look over to the right...yep, that's his site under "Blogs I Stalk."

In the last few months he has started videoing 2-minute tips on cameras and photography. I download and watch all of them. While in Vegas, he offered to take free headshots of anyone that showed up in a certain spot at a certain time. He was testing out Nikon's new camera. Well, Cydil, Jan, and I all showed up, and here is a very quick video of everyone's free headshots. He also gave us the files; so, I'll show those in a few days.

Here's a link to the video of everyone's headshots. You have about 1 second to see my three headshots...so, pay attention! Click here.

Okay, could you give me hint as to where in the video of head-shots you are? The first time I looked, I got dizzy it went so fast, (No comments!!!) and now I've looked at it about four more times, twice hitting pause throughout to stop the video so I can see still shots, and I STILL can't find you!!!! Just give me a hint -- beginning, middle or end!!! Thanks!!! Mom

I can't even get it to load, so you're one up on me getting to actually see a video! Allison V

Ok, I have to admit. When I read mom's comment this morning, I went to the site and realized that the wrong link had posted...the one that was there was a link to photos from a party Becker hosted in Vegas. I changed it though, and the correct one was out there as of around 9 am.

I just got home and saw your comment, Allison (btw, thanks for leaving a comment!!), and checked it again. The video loaded on my computer here at home. So, I think that it is working.

Ruth, I'm sorry, I am still laughing at the image in my mind of you trying to find Kelly in that wrong video. You're right, the images go SO fast, I can't imagine you trying to pause between each image to find Kelly!!! That must have been quite frustrating to find out your daughter posted the wrong link! ;-)
