Here’s one from a year ago that I shot down in the Bahamas:

I lost this in the great computer crash of ‘09, so the only copy that remained was on youtube, which until recently had disabled the audio.  Well, the music’s workin now, so enjoy.  Despite the marginal quality, It’s still relaxing for me to watch.

Woo!

What’s up and coming?  Some wedding pictures, some pictures from the Bahamas (from way back in February) and a video and some pictures from MINIs on Top 2009.  Nice.  I think I have some shots from tulip fest in there too.

Stay tuned, it’s about to get busy up in here.

]]> http://benmartinphotography.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=51 News: This kid got published! http://benmartinphotography.com/blog/?p=38 http://benmartinphotography.com/blog/?p=38#comments Tue, 16 Sep 2008 20:28:06 +0000 Ben http://benmartinphotography.com/blog/?p=38 I found out today that I had five of my photo’s chosen to be published in a Mini Cooper Magazine, MC2 (squared), from the recent Mini’s on Top event where I was one of 3 “official” photographers.  I know it’s not Road & Track but I’m pretty excited about it, it is published nationally and viewed by scounds of rabid Mini drivers, that’s right - scounds (I’d like to see Road & Track pull those kind of numbers).

I wish I could scan the pages and post them here, but that would violate MC2’s copyright (even though they are my pictures….)  I can show you what they used: this little number was a full page spread - neato.   UPDATE: The thumbnails at the bottom show the other pictures that were chosen for publication (congrats to me for getting a gallery to work on my blog!  woo-hoo!)
