Weddings: "HOW TO SHOOT A GREAT SHOT"
Last Friday my buddy Mike Colon asked me to help him out at a wedding, I have been inspired by this guy and thought I had seen it all, but last friday, showing his Super Ninja form, he was in style and in perfect form. In all my years, i have never seen a photographer with such amazing moves, and amazing results, This is truly a revolutionary style.
I was honored to shoot with him, (Thanks for having me Mike, I had a smashing great time!), and got to thinking; so this inspired me to post this shot from a wedding last month. First is my shot, then Rachel shot this one of me in action. Crazy, its taken me a few months to perfect this toss, but it gets amazing results...
For the record:
Mike catching the camera: 16
Ground catching the camera: 0 (lets hope i keep it that way!..)
Cost of Camera and lens if dropped: $4,500 (1d mk2 + 15mm fisheye)
Cost of getting the shot of the bridal party surpised: Priceless

you guys are like cool circus-ninja photogs....fun!
I love this photo! Are you sure it wasn't Ninja Colon soaring through the air that took this arial shot with you "pretending" to toss the camera? ;-)
I gotta figure out how to do that, man. You're awesome! Thanks for sharing at PartnerCon. I look forward to learning more from you and hopefully shooting together someday.
