Travel Post - Day 1 and 2

If you don’t know, I’m spending this week in Houston, TX.  I’m on a photo/video shoot for Cadillac V-Series Performance Lab

Here are a few snapshots from my trip thus far, and my personal observations:

- Gas is only $3.50/gal in Texas.

- Video conversion (from Mac to PC) seems to be the bane of my existence.  Thankfully, I think I’ve found a simple solution.

- I feel like such a Yankee when I can’t understand the locals’ southern drawl.

- It took me two days to find the alternative rock station on my rental car’s XM radio.

- You can fit a large Pizza Hut pizza in your mini-fridge if you take out the shelves.

- I came into this project thinking I was mainly the “video” guy (and I mostly am).  But, when I was greeted by a Cadillac girl, I told her I was from Green Sky Creative, and she said, “Oh, so you must be the photographer.”  Big gulp.  I thought I would be part of a group.  Nope.  Just me.

- I set a new personal record for myself.  I took 743 photos in a half day.  However, I’m afraid that at least 60-70% are rubbish.

- The next two days will be strictly video.  Phew.
