I know there's about 1000 things I should have or would like to have for the trip, but I can't do much about it. Feel free to chime in anyway with your thoughts or suggestions. I do have a detailed plan for some redundancy in file backup.

Here's a shot from yesterday. This is Julie, a young doctor from New York City who flew into Wmass for the shoot. ISO200; f/11; 1/160s. Shoot-thru umbrella camera right, up a bit. Snooted and gelled flash gently lighting the background.
