I have sent a couple requests as well and never heard a thing.

I think IS is little too hyped up lately. It only helps you control camera shake and shooting static objects in lower light. Nothing a fast lens can solve anyways. What range lens were you looking for? ~Ben

I have a 3 lens, 2 camera setup for skiing and snowkiting. -Tokina 12-24 f/4 -Canon 24-70L f/2.8 -Canon 70-200L f/2.8 IS the 24-70 is by for the bread and butter lens for most of my shooting. Its weather sealed as well which is nice. I use the 12-24 for mainly park skiing when i'm really...

Last post..... Don't buy from Best Buy if you buy New. They charge way too much and are clueless to anything photography. I shop at http://www.bhphotovideo.com/ and they rock. Some of the best prices around for new camera gear. Watch the prices on the memory though, you can get a better...

Here are a couple good online Classifieds area to find deals http://photography-on-the.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=14 http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/board/10 when your new, buy used. The cheaper lenses have really poor resale values and if you buy them used, you shouldn't take too much of...

If you have 500-600 bucks, pick up a used Canon 20D. It is a f'n awsome camera for the price now. It will OWN any of the lower end DSLR's. The image quality is great on them and it shoots at 5frame per second, so you can do some pretty good sequence shots with it. Fairly large buffer if you...

I have some web design skills. Drop me a line with your questions. If you decide you still want that shot of you for your promo stuff, let me know. I'm done with most of my gigs now for 2007. I'm focusing mainly on snowkiting this winter, so i'll have time to hook up with you. ~Ben

Yeah it was funny. Worth the read at least.

I was pretty stoked to see the snow out my office window today.

Thats prety sick Alex. I'd imagine i'll see that in action in the future.

If you have access to a lap pool, I would say get some swimming in. I turned into a chunk in college and did this to get back in shape. I swim 1 mile (70 lengths) 3 days a week and it really has done wonders for me. You get really lean and it is super low stress. So you are not putting...

Depends where you live. There is a huge community growing now and the kites keep getting safer every year. We have private lake surrounded by rolling farmland near us. The landowner also kites so we build up a huge park on the lake and the hills every winter. I only go to the ski hill on...

Crashing hurts and we have the bruises to prove it. Only bummer with kiting is if you don't let go of the power to kill the kite, you will just get tea bagged into shit. so always let go of the bar if you are beyond recovering.

and I live in Minnesota. I drive out to Cape hatteras every summer to go windsurfing...takes me about 26 hours to drive. I hate have spendy stuff just sitting on a truck someplace. I dropped about 1600 on a kite and some other kiting stuff. Thats a lot of money for me.

I got a wicked ingrown toenail on my right foot. I fricken hate ingrown's...

i'm a portfolio analyst and a photographer...yeah i'm old (25ys)

I ordered a new kite(SS Fuel) for kiteskiing last friday from Real Kiteboarding out in cape hatteras North Carolina. They shipped it FedEx ground on monday...I have been tracking it online and it sat charlotte, NC for 2 days, now its sitting in grove City, OH for 2+ days.....WTF. I wanted to go...

I started to kiteski this year and it sooo sick. I was out with a bunch of my boarder friends jamming this past weekend. I am the photographer in the group so I didn't get pics of me, but I thought the pics turned out pretty good.
