Normally at the end of the year, we like to look back at all of our wonderful Massachusetts Wedding Photography from the season and just pick out a few favorites and talk about them. This year, we're going to mix it up and talk about the music (so as not to invoke the ire of any clients who might feel slighted because it's not their dress or cake that made the entirely arbitrary cut, also I feel like punting this and just posting Youtube links). These are three songs that got people moving on the dance floors in 2012 in no particular order.Normally at the end of the year, we like to look back at all of our wonderful Massachusetts Wedding Photography from the season and just pick out a few favorites and talk about them.

How can this change help you communicate?
For professional photographers convergence - the coming together of still shooting and video - is still looming on the horizon. Sure many new camera bodies have video built in but for now the still photographer can dip a big toe into the water but remain in the world of static images to tell stories.
In the age of the Internet we've all spent far too many hours browsing through YouTube, leaping from one set of videos to the next in search of a good laugh at The Evolution of Dance [youtube.com], something to rock out to [youtube.com] or a webisode [youtube.com] to kill time with. The amount of material that's out there is incredible, on YouTube alone over 20 hours of video are uploaded every minute (that's right, you can officially never watch every video of someone's cat getting confused by a laser pointer).
This weekend I lucked into working with a 5DmkII, the latest version of the camera that I usually have on hand for weddings. Like all god Canon photographers I had been lusting after this body since rumors about it were circulating the Internet.
Thankfully this past weekend I was free to experiment with its capabilities at a wedding (don't worry, I never use clients for experimentation). My college roommate Tim was getting married and they already had their photographers, so I decided to switch into video mode and kick the tires.
