Forgiveness requested in advance...

[Ticheli]

A couple of days after I shot the Alabama test for Barry, I had to have some minor, but rather painful surgery and I've been exploring the joys of Lortabs ever since.

I know it's not smart to have access to phones or the internet while high; I hope I will be forgiven for posting this. My disclaimer, in addition to having impaired judgement, is that I have a 5DII and think it has a valid place in the mix...


When the colors dance 'round
Like a drunk on the town
That's 5 d'moire

When the banding lights shine
Like you've had too much wine
That's 5 d'moire

The controls are a kludge
and change with a nudge
That's 5 d'moire

The inputs aren't pro
And slo-mo's no go
That's 5 d'moire

When too hot it shuts down
You say with a frown
That's 5 d'moire

And if Jello's your thing
You can sing ding-a-ling
That's 5 d'moire

OK, mods, please don't ban me...

Good shooting and best regards,

Leo

Okay, as a 5D owner, and as a fan of Ol' Deano, that was pretty amusing.
Even more so with the backstory.

For some reason I seem to read this song in my head as if it were Cee Lo Green's "F**k You" song.

 

[Steve Kahn]

Lol!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

 

[ilauzirika]

Hahaha....

 

[izoneguy]

Speedy recovery - let's hope you have moire surgery.

 

[Ticheli]

Thank you, guys! You're a great bunch. I'm not supposed to lift anything over ten pounds for six weeks; now I have a good reason to leave the Red (fifty pounds with Cooke zoom and all accessories) in the case and dance around with the AF100!

Not only is it a a great camera, it's... wait for it... a medical necessity!

Good shooting and best regards,

Leo

That's hilarious! I hear the song being sung as I read. Best wishes.

 

[hyphygreek]

Bravo sir! Bravo!

No moire, please! No, actually I loved it!
Feel better soon, and gentle lifting on the AF100!

 

[Marc Villafan]

Just don't pop one of these babies on the AF100 and you'll be fine.

Hahahahaha!

Sounds very much like Johnny Cash "Nobody"
which describes the life of a DP pretty accurately.
Enjoy the medicine.

 

[CraigM]

A medical necessity? Hmm, wonder if Blue Cross will cover it. Maybe in physical therapy you can start out lifting a GH2, then a AF100 then your Red. Best wishes for a speedy recovery Leo.

Very nice Leo... coming from a musician - could you do us a favor and consider adding the bridge after your next Lortab?

It's my hope that someone genuinely musical could help with my doggerel lyrics. Have a crack at it my friend; I'm now cutting back on the Lortab and could use a bit of cheer!

Good shooting and best regards,
