Chuck Schumer on Fox News gave us preview of things to come if the Democrats have complete power. He actually compared alternative media or conservative opinion to pornography. The Democrats are itching to re implement the fairness doctrine.
Wow-
The LA Times is holding the tape of Barack Obama at the 2003 Arab American Action Network and will not release it for some reason. Most think that it will show Barack in his true form and not very Presidential.
This is a video for Republicans, Democrats, Conservatives, Liberals....all Americans.
We the People have a choice to make. In just a few days we will vote in one of the most important elections in our lifetime.
The United States is the greatest country on the face of the Earth if not all of history. We the People need to get it back on track. We've done it before. Not because someone gave us a handout but because Americans pull together, overcome adversity and rise to the occasion. That's how our country was built.
We've put men on the moon, we've overcome evil empires, we stood up against aggression in the Cold War. We go to the aide of countries devastated by a tsunamis and other natural disasters.
American athletes don't win gold medals because their government train them for years, they win because of hard work and dedication.
It's time to stop looking at what's in it for me and start fighting to put our country back on the right path.
Enjoy the video and feel free to comment!

Unless John McCain can work a miracle Sen Barack Obama will certainly win the 2008 Presidential election. John McCain is clearly concentrating on to few states win the election.
Here's a few videos to get your weekend started off right. Enjoy!
Have you ever watched a documentary that used stills (photos) with music for drama? Maybe the stills faded into (crossfade) one another, or slowly panned across the screen. Well this is known as the Ken Burns effect.
It is called that because the famous documentary filmmaker Ken Burns uses the effect, I hate to say effect, in many of his films. His most recent film was entitled "The War", a seven part documentary that aired on PBS.
As I got into film making I used a lot of my photos in my work. At the time I didn't realize I was using the Ken Burns effect.
For photographers though it opens up new ways to express your photographic creativity. With inexpensive video editing tools you can take your images to a new level. You will even begin to shoot differently.
To show off your work you can burn them to DVDs for playing on large screen TVs or use YouTube or Flickr's new video function to display your work.
Keep the old camera clicking. There's nothing like a moment captured in time. But look for new ways to display those moments.
In some of my upcoming posts I will offer tutorials on how to do the Ken Burns effect and tools you can use.

Flickr has made the leap to video...sort of. As I write this I am renderin a short sneek-peek of a documentary I am working on to upload to Flickr.
The first thing to note is that Flickr is not becoming a YouTube. You can only upload 90 seconds of video. While YouTube, MetaCafe, etc... users may find this useless for video I think it will be useful in the photography world.
Why? Because a lot of my documentaries have photos with music. This can take photographers into a new realm of people "seeing" their images. The old "Ken Burns" effect could possibly take over Flickr. Hmmm maybe I should start a Ken Burns group real quick...
Anyway if photographers grasp this concept I think they can take their photos to a new level.
