I had the pleasure of spending the day with Hammer and his production crew. Hammer was working on his latest video which will be released November 1st - it's an inspirational song about our reaction to the September 11th terrorist events. The money generated by the song is being donated to a fund to help the families of the victims of this attack. Hammer and his production manager Darnell really have their act together - what a fun day it was.

We started the day at XM Satellite Radio studios; shooting in the studio and on a set. The second part of the day's work was done at the National Cathedral. After spending the day with Hammer I was incredibly impressed by his talent and hard work - not to mention he's one of the nicest guys you could meet.

These are the first pictures I've taken with my new Nikon D1X - the images were reduced to 25% of their original size! Using only available lighting; here's the shots of the day.
