spring fever

My dear blog reader,

Sorry I haven't been in touch much lately. I've had recurring bouts of spring fever, and just when I think I'm ready to resume blogging (or any number of other worthwhile indoor activities), I succumb once again to the great outdoors.

It's not that I haven't been thinking about the blog. I'm still trying out the chest-cam (photo above), but to be honest about it -- and this is where the fever may be causing delusions -- I'm actually considering a helmet cam to connect to the ol' Sony Hi-8 -- one step backwards to an analog format, but a couple of steps forward from still shots to video with stereo audio.

So if you've had any experience with (or just care to share your opinion about) helmet cams such as the VioSport, or Helmetcamera.com, or others, let me know what you think.

I want to be able to shoot photos while I'm mountain biking. Not stop the bike and get out the camera. Snap what I'm seeing while I'm riding. I guess a helmet cam with an electronic viewfinder goggle and remote shutter release on the handle bars would be nice, but not exactly affordable. What I'm trying instead is adapting a GameBoy Advance holster ($5.00) to hold the camera on my chest. Above is a test shot while walking on campus today. Perhaps I'll incorporate a bubble level -- or adjust my posture -- or claim the camera angle is intentional. The next step? Actually get on the bike and try this.

Ahhh...

Just returning from a three day weekend. Also took a break from blogging, but not digital photography. So I do have some new photos. Stay tuned.
