Hey… your podcast is killer compared to that fruit rollup germie guy from tips from the top! You guys need to do an 2 part episode based on your "studiolighting on the cheap" section of your website! Talk about makeshift tools, techniques, and workarounds for broke photographers. Your photography podcast are the best! All hail King Laup of the Bees!

Those $10 64 meg CF cards actually aren't that great a deal - you can buy a 1G CF card (equivalent to 16 64meg cards) for $30 or less online.
