It was very good, although i'm sure this was like 6,000 calories...

LOL! Yeah it was. It was handheld at 1/5 sec and the lens I had was 2lbs...no IS though :(

Fried Cheesecake is one of my favorites! The food shots are fantastic! Although my favorite is the one of your godson. What a great portrait!! One of the best shots I've seen from you period!

[kameraguy]

Thanks guys, I appreciate the support!

Wow, it looks like I need to clean the sensor of the 10D...that last shot has spots galore. Sorry!!

Thanks Mark, glad you like that portrait. I got lucky as he is such a wild kid...wayyy too much energy. To have him stop for a moment was a rare opportunity in itself :p

I loved the fried cheescake. I guess it's popular in Washington? Over here this was the first restaurant I've been that offered it. I thought fried ice-cream was wild...but the concept of frying cheescake blew me away so i had to try it. Would love to have this more often!

umm, so where are all the wedding photos? :rofl:

[redline]

10D huh? So how many bodies do you have?! :D

I've had fried cheesecake on the east coast, but I'm sure it was a West Coast thing, they are always ahead of the curve.

[kameraguy]

I have a few bodies, not that I collect them or anything :p

Digital: D30, 10D, 20D, 1DMKII, Leica Digilux 2 (in repair), Canon G5
Film: EOS 1N, Mamiya 645, Konica Hexar Rhodium

But to be honest. I haven't shot film in like four years...

Nice collection! I bet that Leica is a neat camera. 1DMKII is also a nice rig!
