“As breathtaking as large, panoramic photos often are, the process of creating them is, to many photographers, a much less attractive prospect. While painstakingly stitching together images from a recent vacation, Technische Universität Berlin graduate Jonas Pfeil came up with a better idea: a spherical camera, called a camera-ball, that can take 360-degree panoramas in a single snap. Once the softball-sized sphere is tossed into the air, a built-in accelerometer tells when the ball has reached its zenith. Then a microcontroller triggers simultaneous action by 36 two-megapixel cellphone cameras, capturing a mosaic of images.”

Just spent this past Saturday in PA running the Tough Mudder in PA. We raised $4,113 for Wounded Warrior Project. We originally wanted to raise $1,500 to wear just wedding dresses, but things quickly escalated. The word got out and we hit $1,500 quickly. So, we up’ed the ante. At $2,000 we would carry bouquets, at $3000 we would wear professionally applied make-up, and at $4000 everyone who donated will receive a 8x10 photo all signed by the brides. Let’s just say I still have lip stick on and have a lot of picture sorting to do.
check out http://muddercam.com/swampwedding/ for more of the story. And more pictures (currently being sorted through, trust me we have tons)
Thank you everyone who donated (even though none of you read this blog lol).
and Thank you Wounded Warrior Project for supporting our Troops.
