    Mike,

    While you are drinking your six pack, I thought you would enjoy my feature of the event on my blog. I know it has been awhile since the event but I have had a million things going at once and just got around to working with my pictures. You would also be proud of the things I have incorporated into my short film. Here is the link:

    There were a lot of tips/pointers provided by each of the presenters. I learned so much and it was indeed an eye opener to be able to accomplish huge tasks by not having to spend a lot of money if you do not really have too! *Wow* ;-)

    Really enjoyed this meetup!! Got a ton of ideas and learned some things that were problems but was not aware of how to correct them.

    Oh yes, stopped by a thrift store after the meetup and found a HUGE windshield reflector that I can use to make my own reflector screen for under $2.00. I'm on a roll!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Photog's,
    I have some bad news. I've been sick for a few days and I think I'll still be contagious by tomorrow... I dont want to risk getting anyone sick... and honestly I dont feel well enough to present. Here's the link for 2 of my projects. Michael Kelly has a version of the Battery Pack I was going to present, I'll ask him to bring his along for you guys to see. I hope you all have a wonderful time!

    Note: This is a demonstration workshop and not a shootout. You are welcome to bring your camera to take pictures of the DIY equipment but we will not be shooting models. (But maybe so of the attendees. :-) )
