Shepard will formally announce his candidacy at 303 Williams Avenue, Suite 1311 in Huntsville at 11:00 AM.

Great questions and responses!

Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we have a winner.

Money may be the Mother's milk of politics, but it is the arsenic of Democracy.

The only problem (4.00 / 1)

with the video is that Shepard appears to be sitting in cave, the light is so dim.

Unfortunately, I'm still getting the hang of this snazzy video camera that Mooncat bought for me to tote around. We thought that sitting Taze next to the lamp would provide attractive lighting for the scene.

Unfortunately, the $#%% camera focused too much on the lamp light. You'd never know he was sitting in a well-lit hotel hallway. Instead he appears to be in an interior room at the Munsters' house.

I'm not short. I'm fun size!!

The real problem ... (0.00 / 0)

Is that the shot wasn't tight enough. You need to force yourself to zoom in on the subject's face. A little of the tie is all right, but no one want's to see the whole jacket front -- esp. when it's on YouTube and the screen is only 5" anyway. The head is everything.

Work harder and work smarter!
