I renewed my subscription again since I have a lot more money these days. Since I've been gone I've been to Iceland and stayed in the Faroe Islands for three months. I've been waiting on a work visa for the Faroes for about five months, and I wouldn't be surprised if I've got that long to go until I get an answer. In the meantime, I'm a web consultant for a storage tank company in Kansas.
Never again will I doubt how awesome a tripod can be. Today I got the Bogen-Manfrotto 055MF3 with 488RC0 ball head and it's just amazing. I needed something that could hold up the massive DA* 16-50mm lens and not be too heavy for mountain hikes. Carbon/mag fiber is totally worth the money. Plus it's really funny having a $400 tripod setup support a Holga.
