I’m going to Hollywood. It’s time for Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk. There are definitely some cool locations including: Paris, Beijing, Sydney, London, Vancouver and New York but I think I’ll be at one of the best. We’re talking HOLLYWOOD. And in the spirit of cool and arty photography I’m going into be shooting in the RAW mode, no .JPG for me. No compression for me. My photos need to be natural, I’m not losing any pixels when I don’t need to. Everyone there will be shooting RAW and I want to fit in. Note to self: Make sure to clear all my digital flash memory cards.
It will definitely be a different kind of shoot for me, more of a free flow. It’s usually work related stuff for me or I use my point-and-shoot for family stuff. Details and photos to come over the weekend.
More Miscellaneous: I get 60 free days of MoblieMe. I’m not sure what I’ll do with all the money I save :-)

Note from the Oympics:
From Fox Sports: “NBC fails to show Michael Phelps record-breaking swim after moving the swimming finals to suit its advertisers, US television giant NBC didn't show Michael Phelps' historic swim live yesterday. The juggeranut network haggled with Olympic authorities and other networks around the world for several years to have the swimming finals moved to the mornings to cater for the US prime time television audience.
At one stage, NBC threatened to withdraw their nine figure rights deal if the finals were not switched to mornings. Swimming bodies complained about the change because of the way it would affect the swimmers' preparation. They were forced to re-arrange all lead up swimming events to ensure swimmers were well prepared for the dramatic change.
But we can reveal today that Michael Phelps' and other major swimming finals have not been telecast live into the US even though the events have started in prime time in the US. When Phelps swam for his tenth Olympic gold medal yesterday, Los Angeles NBC was screening entertainment program, Access Hollywood.”
