  1. Not a problem. For others: if you are not comfortable with Paypal and prefer to send a check as well, send me an email at iwanvdschoor (at) yahoo.com asking for my address.. Iwan
  2. It's been suggested that any excess go toward a tuition fund for the girls. They attend a private school and I know that having them attend that school was very important to JP. I'll make sure that happens.
  3. I am just reposting this. I live about 15 minutes from Antioch, if any people are coming in from out of town, my house is your house, just let me know. Thanks, Iwan
  4. Everyone, Feel free to email me the full res photos at: iwanvdschoor (at) gmail.com I'll put them on a CD and get them to Corinne by Sunday night.
  5. JP, I don't know where to start, how to ever thank you enough for what you did for me over the years from when I started showing up in Byron.. The only person I ever trusted enough to take me on a tandem.. cause that was the next thing you were going to talk me into doing.. "Let's both get our rating!" The numerous times you gave me advice on flying the camera, the roadtrips to boogies.. you trusting me enough to bring me to Eloy a couple of years ago.. The list goes on and on.. you were one of my "dads away from home" HOTTEPE!! Your crazy hollish friend..
  6. Landing area is huge.. outs.. not so nice, make your decision up high whether you are going to make it back or not.. there are more than enough outs, but you need to be ready... I've only landed way off once, other than that I always ended up back at the airport. Jumpships.. just when you think its gonna be a long wait for the next load.. they pull out another plane.. it's like magic I think he has a Beech 99, Twin Otter, King Air right now, but I heard there might even be 2 otters, not sure I love Lodi!
  7. JP, I am going to miss you brother.. I still can't believe it, but unfortunately there is no way around this one.. I am going to miss you tremendously.. Love, Iwan
  8. That is exactly it.. HDV is stored on the tape in a compressed format and the camera has to uncompress it to play it... For good info on this that I found that explains HDV a bit: http://www.highdef.com/library/what_is_hdv.htm
  9. I saw the same with my HC-1. The owner of the video concession told me not to shoot with it anymore (I only had to use it once, when I forgot my TRV17) I dont use the HC-1 for tandem videos, because we dont have a HD-DVD or Blu-ray burner yet.. so why use my nice HD camera if my TRV-17 will do the job just fine.. I only use my HD camera for non tandem jumps..
  10. I format the card after every tandem, reason being that we use a cd burner to dump the photos from the card onto a cd (no pc in between) If you delete the pics, the customer will get a cd with a lot of empty folders on there, and just the latest folders on the disc will have their pictures in there. The second reason for formatting is it takes 2 seconds, vs.. a lot longer.. I dont have time in between tandems
  11. well ditto! Usually I get an advanced copy Where's my video biotch?! BWAHHHHHHHHH The reason yours is slightly delayed is because you get 10 copies They are sent out today.. there was a problem with the first batch of dvds...
  12. you should have it today or tomorrow now that its being sent using postage
  13. Dude.. if you are looking for a ride, you should tell them : anybody have room for 2 more and some luggage? TallFreak
  14. the mac should be in today In that case. stop calling it a PC!!!! and then congratulations are in order!
  15. Don't go back to sleep, but at least come back to bed!
  16. dammit.. that will mean you'll be posting even more nonsense on here.. at a higher speed... he he.. .sorry you bought a PC though..
  17. Give me something left to wonder about any day of the week..... Of course all naked NEVER loses it's sexiness..
  18. he he.. yeah.. tell him.. I wouldn't mind.. but talk to my man about that before I say yes..
  19. damn...i shuold have added that to my poll. lets go drinking! Any chance you two might make it closer to me? where are you? there is a mexican place by my house that has happy hour from 11-8. lets do margaritas! ouch.. margaritas with Pop.. Turtle.. all I can say is.. RUN!!!!
  20. :3:0 Back at the old home DZ in Belgium.. got a couple of fun jumps in on Sunday... It's good to be back..
  21. Unless you want to do something really extremely wide, the 8mm is out. I have one for my 20D, and i have used it maybe 10 times.. and only for real specialty shots.. I think the 10-22 will do the trick for you on a 400D, the 8mm is so wide you have to be on top of your subject and distortion is HUGE Iwan
  22. :8:0 Got a couple in on Saturday, then got on the plane to Europe and got 3 more in on Monday at my old home DZ in Belgium (Hoevenen).. Good times.. good times..
  23. Um.. it's a skydiving video Bonnie.. don't get any crazy ideas now..
