Everyone knows that the Mojo is a huge blues fan and even the term “mojo” has blues roots. When I got the call to shoot a blues legend at the HOB, my reaction was “Oh yeah! A few images from last night.

Blues Legend
Five time Grammy award winner Buddy Guy cranks out another jam session at the House of Blues.
December Tweetup
Sunday, December 7th at The Coffee Groundz cafe. Throughout the afternoon, you can expect live music, grilling, networking, socializing, drink specials and questionable OHs (overheard tweetable comments)
J.R. is an excellent host and has really introduced a lot of people to the Coffee Groundz who otherwise might not visit. With the power of Twitter, good drinks (they serve alcohol too!) and free wifi, this place is always buzzin’.
With over a hundred attendees so far, this will get real exciting, real fast. The cafe even opens up to a spacious outdoor patio with plenty of space to mingle.
I’ll be making a brief appearance because that is my birthday and family will be in town. Tweet you there! You can also follow me on Twitter as @mojodenbow

Video Mojo Now In HD
**UPDATE**
Flip Mino HD Test from Mojo Denbow on Vimeo.
After discovering a great deal on this ultra-portable HD camera from Amazon.com, I ordered immediately. Initial tests do not disappoint but did not have enough time in the day to put it through it’s paces. Please give me feedback after viewing!!
What is very impressive to me right out of the box was the fact that this camera will store 2GB (1 hour) of HD footage. Very compact and lighter than our 1st gen 30 minute Flip camera. Here is my mobile phone side-by-side as a comparison. Amazing!
**ORIGINAL POST**
As a way to preserve memories and maintain a video blog, we have just upgraded our video mojo. Originally we purchased a Sony Handi cam but the transfer/edit process is a time suck. Then we purchased the super, easy to use 1st gen Flip camera. Now that Flip has introduced the Flip Mino in high definition for up to an hour, I had to jump on it. The deal from Amazon.com included free tripod and action mount too (great for watching me fly head over heels as I crash the bicycle).
More details and video review as soon as it arrives (next day) on Video Mojo!

What's In Your Bag?
‘
Several people are always asking me “what kind of photo gear do you have?” which leads to this post. Here is a peek inside to the bodies and lenses that assist with my photo mojo…
Nikon D200– this is my primary camera and is quite the handful. With the metal body, longer, heavier lenses, battery pack and speed light it can literally be a pain in the neck! Quite fun to use and has really forced me to focus on details because there are no “idiot” modes like automatic settings.
Nikon D90- the 90 is one of Nikon’s latest releases that is packed with a lot of features. This is Wonderwife’s camera although I am allowed to use it on occasions!
Lens-
Tamron 70-300mm telephoto zoom/micro
Sigma 10-20mm wide angle, 24-70mm
Nikon 18-55mm, 50mm, 18-105mm, 18-200mm
Toy lens: Lensbaby, fisheye
Nikon Creative Lighting System: SB-800, SB-400
Show Off
Now that I have shown mine, it is time to show us yours! Anyone getting something nice in their stockings this holiday?

Portfolio Building Special!
For a limited time only, Photo Mojo is waiving all sitting fees. Wow, you just saved yourself $100! Just visit the website to check the calendar and then fill in the blanks in the contact section. Couldn’t be easier, couldn’t be cheaper.
Why am I doing this? Well, just like the article title implies, I want to expand the portfolio with shiny, happy faces. Portraits, events, you name it and we’ll shoot it.
While I am thankful for the blessings I have in my life, I also enjoy giving back. I’m considering giving away an entire session and media disc for free.
Remember when I mentioned “limited time only” earlier? That means hurry!

This weekend I had an opportunity to document the Via Colori street art festival in downtown Houston, Texas. I am always in constant awe at how artistic and creative people can be. Not-so-secretly, I envy them and their talents. Big thanks to Tina Bomar with the invite!
