    Good to see Mike's attending...

    As for gear safety, suggest we say that only the owner(s) do the swapping.
    More later,

    Everything went fine at the MD Polkfest because we had designated folks that were allowed to swap the gear, noone else.

    I volunteer to be a designated drinker! I'm already staff photographer, but need something else to help my photographic creativity along.

    Troy, how are those bushes coming along? All primed for battle with Mark?

    John,

    Being a Canon fan own a Digital Rebel old style hack'd with 10s software, using a Tamron 28-75mm lens 1:2.8, and a 550EX Canon flash. I sure you could shot 35 pictures to my 15 - 20, as I know your gear is like 4 to 1 to mine. Still a lot of camera for me and always learning.
