Good news! Your last podcast (like your very first one) works on my iPod. Looks like something got resolved which is great because I prefer being able to watch the podcasts when I am away from the computer I spend all day at!

Just so you you know your podcasts still don’t play on a “pod”. Yours is still the only podcast I subscribe to that I have to watch in iTunes because it won’t play on my iPod Touch.

Glad to hear you will be making more though because I certainly learn a lot from hearing about how you look at images. Thanks again for all that you are willing to share!

It looks to me like Anna is benefitting from a large fill reflector on the right and the nice light on her face is coming through the parasol. The hot light on the dress indicates the lack of a diffuser on that side. I just like to deconstruct lighting scenarios.

Those Lite Panels look great.

Book yourself a stopover in Taipei on the way to or from Thailand. I’ll show you some cool places to shoot (and eat authentic Chinese food).

And if you don’t need to add light, but just want catch-lights where there were none, there’s always Photoshop.

The litepanels are expensive, but handy. I’m looking at them for portable, small-quarters lighting of video portraits. Up close a 12×12 would be a decently soft light.

I love the Quadra Ranger, just started playing with the two light kit.

Great shots! I was just joking when I said on my blog that you “cheated.”

Congrats on the podcast renewal – I’ve tried to jump into the flickr group and offer up some opinions and constructive feedback; some people are VERY defensive of their images. Don’t make them public if you don’t want me to say something!

I’ve used MPIX as my Gallery print maker lately – I did a few through costco, but found them a hastle and not much cheaper. It looks like APC does some bigger prints sizes too – which is probably great with your new 5DMKII – did you get any smaller res. files done big? Do you use something like Genuine fractals to upscale or are you recklessly printing downscale from recommended sample size?

RC posted a pick of the Quadra on Twitter… I told him he should have warned me it was NSFW cuz that’s stuff is so nice it’s light-porn.

Speaking of – very sweet light panels – Vistek carries them here in Ottawa but WOW $500+ buys me babysitting for half a month.

You’re on a Mac frenzy of late, I’ve said it before; it’s all that big book money going to your mac habit. Maybe you’ll get a drobopro next.

All those flights! I get tired just thinking of all the travel you do. Enjoy your rest in Thailand.
