Got 10 minutes to spare? Even if you don’t watch this video – shot and narrated by photographer Zack Arias. A story with a much deeper message than just the struggles of a photographer comparing himself to others.

Once I purchased my Canon 7D in October last year I knew it would be the start of a new hideous lens and camera accessories addiction. I purchased my first prime lens – the Canon 50mm 1.4f in December to experiment with more portrait photography. Love it. However, I find myself currently fascinated by the new infinite possibilities of videography with the 7D and more wide angled lens.

This morning I hacked the snow off my car windscreen and drove to Wimbledon Park to snap some shots of the snow on my Canon 7D. The UK is currently experiencing some pretty cold and icy weather.

I found some very cautious swans crossing the frozen lake, and put together this video montage trying to capture the moment.

So I’ve blogged/bragged about my mates band The Brothers Streep before, but that was way back in November 2006. They’ve grown in band members AND groupies since then, but their latest feature on national television here in the UK should hopefully take them one step closer to global domination.
