DCD Kayaking Has Gone HD!

Well, after about 6 days of waiting in anticipation, my Canon Vixia HV-30 arrived. I didn't think it was possible, but life is better in HD. The picture on this thing is so crisp, and so clear that sometimes it looks fake. I have only good things to say about this camera and if your are looking to move into the world of HD, do it. This blog is done with mediocrity and has moved on to a new realm, to High Definition.

I made this video pretty quick with a bunch of random shots of kids and stuff at the lock. Youtube HD looks great.
Can't wait to shoot some real kayaking.

I Like Waterfalls

Here is a quick video of some of the waterfalls that I have run in the past year or so. Shot in New York and Washington, two of my favorite places to be. There will be plenty more waterfalls to come... See you on the water.

Black Fest 2009

Black Fest was a blast. People came from all over the east coast and Canada to witness such a spectacular river. The Black has a great atmosphere, great people, and great boating. Uncle Jim, Mike The Flair, and myself, completed a run on Saturday that goes down in Black river history complete with swims, carnage (not us) and Jim trying to be helpful. He succeeded in slipping and falling while chasing a boat, which resulted in 5 stitches. He had a tetnis shot about 3 weeks prior to this incident, so he had that going for him. He still had the heart to race and placed 8th. Mikey secured a solid 6th place after a very fair start. I had the lead for a moment, and lost it, and then took second.
