It's still a bit primitive looking, but I was able to find a widget, modify it, specify what tag to pull from Flickr, and then load it into this blog entry in about 20 minutes.

I think the applications for this sort of widget authoring platform is promising. Zembly also lets you author apps/widgets for Facebook, Meebo, Twitter, etc. Check it out.

Here is a collage of some of my favorite shots from our session together.

We organized a shoot at his studio, where he would hang a large painting, I would light and shoot it, and then move on to the next. All in all it was enjoyable to work with an artist and to see his work move to a site where others can appreciate it too.

SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON OF G9 AND 5D copy

So I picked up the Canon G9 as my little pocket photo companion. For fun, and out of curiousity, I wanted to do a completely unscientific test of the G9 compared to the 5D. I put my remote 580EX on a stand and alternated shooting between the G9 and the 5D using the Speedlight Transmitter from roughly the same spot.

The result are above. To see a higher resolution version of the photo, click here.

For web based imagery, the G9 seems to be a great solution for shooting in situations or environments where I just don't want to risk taking the 5D. At roughly $450 - $500 (you can find some sale pricing online), this is well worth the money. It also takes reasonably good video, which I'm pleased with.

Of course, it's not a 5D and never will be, but still a TON of fun.
