Stop Action


Stop Action 4, originally uploaded by toephoto.

This is one frame from a series of stop action shots I did last month. Christian is doing flips off a friend's boat. I'm snapping with my new 40D, which captures 6.5 frames per second.

Check it.

Harrington Design launches Web site we hope you'll never need.

Malcolm AnthonyWe're excited to be relaunching Malcolm Anthony's new Web site. Malcolm is one of the most experienced DUI and criminal defense attorneys in North Florida. Our challenge was to position his firm as "The Beaches Lawyer" and we did so by designing a bright and approachable site with simple, yet engaging graphics.

Chris Salvador, the lead designer, employed a slew of new AJAX techniques to make the site more user-friendly.

Take a look and let me know what you think. And look for the coasters we designed for him at your favorite beach bar.

God forbid, you ever get into trouble but if do, call Malcolm at 285-4LAW. As a matter of fact, put that number into your cell right now. Cause ya' neva know.

Yay for ADD and technology!

I've been saying for years that ADD isn't a deficiency, it's just a new mindset not readily accepted or understood by those who don't have it.

I've also thought that traditional media (broadcast TV, the mainstream music and movie industries, etc.) spend too much time and energy being afraid of new technology when they are some of the few who have the capital and power to be early adopters.

Here's ever-more support for my theories.
