Chatty's birthday party mariachi band

I’ve been a bad blogger, but with one holiday after another things have been slow around here. However I do have a backlog of photos to post and will hopefully be better about putting them out there in the coming days. To get things going, here’s a shot from my neighbor Chatty’s kick-ass 40th birthday party, which was held a friend’s backyard in Venice. They decided to go all out by hiring a Mexican mariachi band for entertainment a taco truck to cater. As stark as the photo looks, it really was a good time.

P.S.  I’m still working on the Haiti fundraiser and will post details as soon as I have things figured out. I still haven’t landed a venue, but even if that doesn’t work out I’ll hold the fundraiser online. Hopefully both!

Mustang Sally on the Santa Monica Pier from David Zentz on Vimeo.

A few weeks ago I borrowed my friend Matt’s 5D Mark II to try out its video capabilities. I hadn’t shot video using a DSLR, so I thought we’d go out to the Santa Monica Pier to give it a try. Of course it turned out to be cloudy, but there was enough going on that I could test it out at least. Fortunately we found this kid dancing around to a rendition of Mustang Sally, which is both entertaining and gave me some natural sound to cut the video to. Enjoy.
