I've worked with videographer Larry Baker for 15 years .. and as a co-worker, there's no one better. He's not only an amazing photographer and editor, but he thinks like a reporter and when we team up, my job is very easy.
We were at Derby Downs Friday covering the "Super Kids Classic" race when Larry got the idea to give the story a first-person look. He wanted to ride down in one of the special cars.
Just understand that while the SK cars are built for two people (one special-needs competitor and one local derby driver to steer) the cars are not made for full-grown adults.
Larry was not to be denied.
With my son Jacob (age 11 and one of the local derby drivers who was steering for the day), Larry scrunched his entire body AND his camera into the car for a ride down the hill.
I had my handi-cam with me .. so I grabbed a good shot of Larry's ride. In the background, you'll hear former radio personality Mark Richards calling the play-by-play. For a short time, he thought I was the one driving, but eventually figured out it was Jacob.
Jacob told me that driving straight was easy, the hard part was getting the car to stop because the brake pad isn't designed for that much weight.
Anyway, Larry's video was top-notch and was a great part of the story-telling in our piece for Channel 3 News. I just wanted you to know what lengths someone had to go to to get that shot.

I'm the sort of hombre who passions to seek unprecedented stuff. Right now I am constructing my own pv panels. I'm doing it all alone without the help of my staff. I'm using the net as the only path to acheive this. I came across a very brilliant site which explains how to create solar panels and wind generators. The site explains all the steps needed for photovoltaic panel building.
I'm not really sure about how accurate the info given there is. If some experts over here who have experience with these things can have a look and give your feedback in the site it will be grand and I'd really appreciate it, because I really passion [URL=http://solar-panel-construction.com/diy-solar-panel-construction-is-it-really-possible]solar panel construction[/URL].

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it
better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
