Wildlife Model Shoots

Great Shots Under “Controlled Conditions”
 
Wildlife model shoots are simply a wonderful, easy way to get great photos of some very elusive animals. You can spend countless hours in the woods, and still never see a wild mountain lion, lynx, fisher, or wolverine. The few bobcats and bears you may have spotted were either crossing the road in front of you or were split-second glimpses as they disappeared into the bush. Photographing these and many other animals is next to impossible in the wild.

The sollution is enter a game farm or wildlife model shoot. In three days time and with lots of film or memory-card space, you can photograph well cared for, sometimes trained, elusive mammals to your heart’s content. Note that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of animal rehabilitation centers, rescue facilities, and drive-through zoos in the US where a person might do some photography, but the wildlife model shoots I am talking about are done at facilities in business specifically for photographers. These are places that have raised their animals for photographers (both video and still) and know just what photographers need and want.

Worst Celebrity Beauty of 2006

What do a plastic surgery mishap, a striking resemblance to Marge Simpson, and a Skelton have in common? They are just three of the ten worst celebrity beauty moments of 2006 according to www.about.com. These  Hollywood celebrities were caught on camera in some of their most unflattering, worst moments that sparked everything from pregnancy rumors to the "somebody give that girl a cheeseburger movement".

Restless Records to Release “Butchering The Beatles”

Features Over 50 of Rock’s Most Notorious Stars

On October 24, 2006 Restless Records will release "Butchering The Beatles" — featuring the BIGGEST, the BADDEST, the HEAVIEST all-star line-up ever assembled to honor what is arguably the greatest band ever — THE BEATLES.

All-in-all, over 50 internationally known recording artists bring their unique bone-crushing slant to these remarkable songs. Produced by Grammy award-winning producer/guitarist Bob Kulick and ace engineer Brett Chassen, "Butchering The Beatles" features 12 new, ass-kicking versions of The Beatles’ chart-topping hits including "Hey Jude," "I Feel Fine," and "Day Tripper," plus the more esoteric "Hey Bulldog," barked out by the legendary Alice Cooper and "Tomorrow Never Knows," uniquely interpreted by the iconic Billy Idol, alongside classic concept songs like "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" and "Magical Mystery Tour."

When asked by Guitar Player magazine what possessed him to go all metal on The Beatles, Bob Kulick stated that, "Beatles songs are the Holy Grail. They’re the best rock songs ever written. These new recordings are totally faithful, yet completely different. Billy Gibbons singing ‘Revolution’ or (Motorhead bassist) Lemmy singing ‘Back In The USSR’ are not exactly Paul McCartney or John Lennon. And of course, the guitar solo sections were lengthened to accommodate all the artists’ solo styles."

You, Me and Dupree

Tijd voor een filmpje, en met het gratis kaartje van de AH en de cadeaubonnen van de familie werd het wel een heel goedkoop avondje uit.
Leuke film, vooral Owen Wilson doet het altijd erg leuk maar wat heeft die gozer een gekke neus. Daar moet ik steeds naar kijken zo apart…
