We shot the Jungle Chickens today to give them rough material for their new CD’s artwork. These cats are hard as nails and their music will rock your socks. Here are 3 of my out-takes from the session. Keep an ear to the pavement kids, their new album drops soon. ~h

A new recipe straight out of elbe’s edibles kitchen tonight… Triple Chocolate Cupcakes with Ganache Glaze. These things are seriously the bomb. I just ate half of one as a taste test and I am zinging with delight.
Delicious!

Wow.
I had read good things about SANYO’s eneloop Ni-MH rechargeable batteries when it comes to powering personal speedlites so I decided to pick up a set and run them through the paces. All I can say is wow.
They outperformed my expectations and still leave me almost speechless. Unlike conventional rechargeable batteries, eneloop promises to have their charge right out of the package and this they did, full power right out of the package. They promised a faster recycle time then any of my previous batteries and boy did they deliver here as well. I’ve been popping away with my speedlites for 2 days now and finally ran out my first set. Into the charger they went and were back at full power within a couple of hours. Wow.
I can not say enough about this technology. They don’t cost much at all to pick up and they will last for over 1500 charges. My set of 8 AA’s, 4 AAA’s and Charger cost me around $25. You really can’t beat this when you count up all the AA’s you will run through in a single speedlite session.
Bravo eneloop! Bravo SANYO!

I saw my old friend Aaron Gritzka today. Aaron is a talented multi-media artist and occasional co-conspirator. We spent some time catching up on life before I pulled out my camera and softbox to capture these 3 frames. Thanks Aaron!
