Snow pictures from around the house.  I didn’t realize I moved to the Northwest Territories (Canada) until today.  Around three feet of snow fell total in our area of South Jersey.  Stay warm and enjoy the snow or lack of it.

Christmas is on December 18th for me this year

Altogether my Think Tank Security’s bag weight comes in at 35 pounds, which is a low enough for domestic and some international flights.  My biggest gripe with the Security was setting the bag locks.  I spent thirty minutes or more to finally get the rear lock’s combination switch to update.  In the bag picture on the bottom right you can also observe that the bag doesn’t seem to be hollowed out to form a flat wall as well.  I believe its because it needs room for the wheels or maybe I just need to air the bag out some.

Getting down to brass tacks, here’s the highlights:

Canon 40d

My three favorite lenses:  17-55is, 70-300is and a 100 or 50 prime depending on my shoot.

4 mixed Pocket Wizards and a PW mini

Lots of batteries in a small Lowepro AW20

2  ‘Justin’ clamps

Small 22inch Westcott umbrella

Alienbee B800 monolight

Complete Speedlight Pro flash mod kit

Canon 430exII and 2 540ez

Flexible minipod, 2 lens hoods and an air blower

Some quick outtakes from a NJstrobist meetup at Dynalite world headquarters in Union, NJ.

Happy Thanksgiving.  I am now cat sitting for my sister this holiday season.  Poofy cat is already fond of my bedside bookshelf it seems.

One of my oldest NJ friends from lanpartying got married to another friend of mine and I was lucky enough to be invited to the festivities. Best wishes Devin and Steph.
