A few shots from my little Thanksgiving vacation out in Arizona

Cool aerial shots. Do you rig the camera on your helmet?

Thanks. The rig looks like this - although the 7D and the flash have been replaced with a D200 and an SB-800

These shots are just plain COOL! Great work, thanks for the shot that shows your setup.

Wow. I did a tandem jump there in April of '01. What a cool experience.

Geez, what does that rig weigh?? Is that a video camera above the Konica?

That's a video camera. The whole rig weighs in at just over 13 lbs.

I shot tandem videos for years - it's a great feeling jumping with people for their very first time. It's also a pretty cool gig when you get paid to do something you'd gladly do for free.
