SuperJo Skydives! Aerial Poetry!
Hello friends, Check out my Vancouver Skydive! My dear friend Rob jumped first, as shown in the video, and Alan witnessed us both from the ground. It was easily the most exciting thing I've ever done. I recommend it for everyone. Jo
Skydiving Photos
Here are skydiving pictures. A friend asked me to take pictures of his first jump. I used the Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 VR lens and the Nikon D300 camera. This man is a photographer for the skydiving company. He would jump ahead of the jumpers and take their pictures in the air. This is how you look when you get ready to jump tandem.
"FlickrMania" Part Uno
Nothing special today, just a minor update. Been standing next to my freezer trying to escape the scorching sun. "The shade is a tool, a device, a savior!" Anyone know where that's from? A lyric, perhaps. So yesterday was interesting. Aside from going another holiday without someone to love, I managed to haul my camera around for some quick photos. Check em' out below, either click on the photo or click here. This linkage will take you straight to my flickr page where you can add me, smack me or

Today's Hero: Bobby Brannigan | GreatOutdoors.com
Bobby did, he turned to his caregiver and said, "Lets go Skydiving"! Heck, I can fall out of a plane, no problem. Bobby & Becky Brannigan That is exactly what Bobby did and it was off to the airport. Bobby suited up and jumped tandem ...
My “Top Ten” list…
Or; “Ten things about me, that you wish you didn’t know…” (10) When I was a kid, I wanted to grow up to be a rock star, and a writer, and an artist, and a ninja, or a pirate. Oh yeah, or a terrorist. (It’s really too bad my gene pool is devoid of anything resembling talent.) (09) I’m a drug addict. I live off adrenaline. I’ve skydived, bungee jumped, base jumped, scuba’d for depth, rock-climbed, and bike raced. (I’ve also nearly killed myself doing every single one of those things.) (0
Michael Andrew Learning To Skydive Sky Dive Utah
I would really love to become a skydiving photographer, so this is the first step towards that goal. Granted, this video may not have much to do anything about photography, but it has a lot to do with overcoming fears (as I was so scared the first time I did this I nearly passed out). I hope you enjoy it.
Skydiving: Skydiving Photography Considerations
Being a skydiving photographer is just as extreme as being a skydiver. So if you plan on becoming one, there are some considerations that you might want to deliberate on first before you go out and buy your camera. ...

A year in the making but we have finally completed the new Honda Accord TV commercial. There have been a lot of challenges along the way, we have learnt a lot and met some amazing people. Thank you to all those who have been involved in the making of this film. It is certainly a testament to the philosophy "Difficult Is Worth Doing." So here it is the new Honda ad: "Jump." We hope you enjoy it. The campaign continues from Sunday, 1 June when 'Jump', the main TV advert, debuted. Filmed in the Mojave Desert, California, the ad features a large team of skydivers attempting to form shapes in the sky that hint at new technologies on the Honda Accord. These shapes include a suspension spring, a camera, a steering wheel; and ultimately the word 'Accord'. Both ads are based on the wisdom of Honda's founder, Soichiro Honda, who once said 'Difficult is worth doing'. This philosophy is expressed through Honda's new Accord, created by a development team working together to overcome engineering challenges. As well as giving the car a host of technological innovations that improve safety and equipment levels, the engineers 'played tug-of-war' with the project budget to ensure the Accord excels in all the right areas - maximising the comfort and support of its front seats, for example. "The campaign has been difficult, but it was definitely worth doing!" says Harry Cooklin, Marketing Communications Manager of Honda (UK). "We are always looking to move the boundaries when it comes to our advertising, and so being involved in the UK's first truly live TV advert is perfect for us. It provides the ideal platform to take us into the final phase of the Accord campaign." Both ads follow a strategy of gradually building momentum and noise for the concept of 'Difficult Is Worth Doing' in the run up to the launch of the new car. The first activity broke on 21 April with a national poster campaign, followed by press and digital advertising. On 12 May a teaser TV campaign began featuring five short unbranded films depicting seemingly abstract glimpses of a skydiving team preparing themselves for a large event. The only clue as to what company, or product, is behind the short films is a web address at the end (www.difficultisworthdoing.com). The campaign was devised by Honda UK's core agency team of Wieden & Kennedy, Starcom, Collective and Hicklin Slade & Partners. 'Jump' was created by Tony Davidson and Kim Papworth of Wieden & Kennedy.
