YouTube is a wonderful thing. I posted a video just after I opened my 7D a little over a year ago, mainly out of excitement and desire to get something out of the camera and online. After I posted it I began receiving emails asking about the gear in the video, so I posted a follow-up video on where to find stuff. Since then I posted another video focusing on the audio setup and now tonight I just posted one more focusing on an off-camera way of doing things.
I absolutely love these tools and the gear I've been given to use. This equipment has allowed me to grow and learn in creative ways to efficiently get projects DONE. :)
For the nerds, here are the four videos, consecutively. T original is at the top and the one I shot tonight is at the bottom. For the rest of us, I'll post something less nerdy soon. I promise. I think I've BEEN promising that since 300 something posts ago... lol
I've been extremely happy with Apple's ".mac" service through the years of my Apple fan-boy-hood. A few years ago they reformatted the servers to be "me.com" instead of "mac.com". To avoid a nerd riot they assured us that the mac.com addresses would still be online, and would just forward the messages onward, but really, the servers began slowly changing everyone over to me.com.
I held out as long as I could.
Let's be honest I LOVE having the mac name in my email address. I wear it with pride. :) But, things are changing and there really is no guarantee that tomorrow they won't pull the plug on the mac addresses. They've kindly asked us to switch so I will comply. I don't want to, none of us do, but I don't want my email not to work so I will cooperate. :)
So, I'll begin emailing out as CameronMagee@me.com. Hopefully it won't cause too much confusion. Just with "me" being so close to "mac" I thought I'd better do a quick post.
Laura is also at a me address, if you need that I'd be happy to email it to you, I just didn't want to post it out in the open on here.
Thanks for putting up with my nerdy posts. People have been asking for engagement stories or pictures, I'll try to get something up from that soon. Thanks for being patient and reading along!
A lot of planning and discussing has been going on since that moment, and the past 5 days have been an absolute whirlwind of taking care of business. I can proudly say my girl is on the ball, we've got a date, a time, a place and a photographer already booked. :)

My good friend Bryan Buettemeyer is shooting our big day for us, you can check out his work on his site, here:
Blog, rest assured I will keep you posted as things get finalized and fall into place. But for now, definitely mark that date in your books. We want anyone who wants to come to be there. We're not the formal uppity type, so we won't be making it a limited invite-only date. Her church is huge, let's fill it friends. :)
thanks for reading! -Cameron
Sorry I don't have any awesome pictures. Bryan is doing engagement photos for us, and as soon as it warms up, I'll get them on here. :)
A little fun personal goal would be to touch all 50 states by the time I'm 50 years old. :) For a 20 year old, God has blessed me with a lot more opportunities that I could have ever dreamed of. Check out this list of his works!
Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maryland Minnesota Mississippi Missouri New Jersey New Mexico New York Ohio Oklahoma Tennessee Texas Virginia West Virginia
WAITING Alaska California Colorado Connecticut Delaware Hawaii Idaho Maine Massachusetts Michigan Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire North Carolina North Dakota Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Utah Vermont Washington Wisconsin Wyoming
Quick side note: he made all 50 of them. :D
-thank you, Jesus, for sending me. May all my journeys be in your name, forever.
Sin. What is sin? In our world to offend someone is the worst sin. "who am I to tell you you're wrong? Only you can decide" Sin is bigger than that. Christ has died for our sin. What is sin? Gen 3:1-7 She does not eat because she is hungry for food. We want power. He has given them everything but she wants this one thing. To be his equal. "I know what God says about this one thing, but I want the freedom to do what I want to do. The temptation is one thing. I want all the benefits of the A without the work. I want everyone to think I'm smart when I'm not." You're breaking relationships with everyone in the classroom. That's what sin is. Breaking relationships. But why should we care about people who want to do their own thing? Sin leads to death. Anytime we sin there are consequences. They got what they wanted. The knowledge. You get what you want, it's just you also get the knowledge that comes with it. You get the sex but you also get the giant list that comes with it. The snake didn't say anything about that. Sin will always give to that instant pleasure but the next morning you will be awoken to the list of consequences. Romans 6:23 Sin is doing so much more than you realize. It's killing us. Sin kills our relationship with him, which means death. As Americans we think we can do what we want but, but we ARE dependent beings. There's nothing we can do about that. Think about breathing. "I DON'T NEED TO BE A SLAVE TO THIS OXYGEN JUNK ANYMORE" If you take oxygen with you you can go anywhere. Just like Christ. :D Like it or not, we need Him like we need air. We need that relationship. Sin takes over. Gen 6:5-6 Rom 1:21-23 Sometimes temptation... You know it's wrong and you can't take it anymore so you finally just do it, but you wake up and it's aware. It eats us alive. Rom 1:28-32 Evil is always right there with you. Sin has corrupted us. "I have a headache" WELL STOP You just can't. You can just 'make it stop'. It happens again and again. Because we are all sinners. When we broke relationship with God. All of our lives are in danger. But God is continuing to watch after us, even if we don't want him to. The wages of sin is death. Lev. 17:11 Blood is the only thing that can sacrifice for your soul. Well if you sin, the law, that he created, says to kill something. Think about the animals. You sin so you kill one. But the next day you sin again. Uh oh. The blood of an animal cannot fix man. It's aspirin to cancer. When you sin you make promises to Him. "I'll do a couple of things and it'll fix it" "God let me do it one time you owe me I'm good to you" We are sick. We have a problem with sin period. Whether you want to believe it or not. It is in every one of us. Matt. 1:21 Matt. 20:28 John. 1:29 Acts. 13:38 Rom. 3:23-25 Only a non-sick person could take the place for our sick sin life. He lives all the way through, sinless. Then he says, "I will give my life for you." Think heart transplant. You need a heart from a a clean person. Everyone else is sick. If someone gave you theirs they would die. Christ says, "I'll die". You can be the best person ever and serve him forever, but it doesn't fix that you're sick inside. It's not Eve's fault, you sinned this week. One sin keeps us from God. It ends with new life in Jesus Christ. The grave can't keep him because it wasn't his sins that killed him. He doesn't make you a baby again he gives you a new life today. Because Jesus now lives in me, I can speak to God. I never have to worry about sin again because he lives inside of me. "I think I was saved at 4" Doesn't matter. DO YOU HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM? You have to ask. "God I have tried to stop sinning but I can't. Jesus come inside of me so that I can be redeemed and healed from my sickness." God has been chasing me. I want him to save me so then I may give him the glory forever.
