DM Photo's 5D Mark II Used to Film the Season Finale of Fox's House!

Okay, so it's not the actual 5D Mark II we own, but it's the same make and model.  Regardless, pretty sweet!  The same camera we use for your weddings and portraits has become the first still camera to be used filming a network television show!  Read about it there: http://www.petapixel.com/2010/04/09/house-season-finale-filmed-entirely-with-canon-5d-mark-ii/

Pitching for the Major Leagues

That's what Ben does for a living - he's a pitcher for the Texas Rangers.  We photographed him and his fiance a few weeks ago at a local golf resort.  Awesome people, both of them.  Down to earth and really easy to work with.  Here are a few photos, including behind the scenes, and a link to a video interview with Ben at the bottom (this is from a few years ago, when he was with the Giants).

And here's the link I promised

Green Building Council, Sheryl Crow, and Al Gore

This post is long overdue.  Last November (2009) DM Photo was selected to be the official photographers for the US Green Building Council's annual convention (held in Phoenix last year). Affectionately termed "Greenbuild", there were over 30,000 attendees during the course of a full week.  The convention was held in the Phoenix Convention Center, although we traveled to several hotels in the area, and Chase Field.  Mostly we covered experts giving lectures in dimly lit conference rooms, but Wednesday night we got VIP passes to Chase Field and were given carte blanche to the entire stadium.  This was particularly exciting since Sheryl Crow was performing (pretty cool) and Al Gore was giving a speech (not as cool, but still...he's famous, so....).  Here are a few images from Chase Field:
