We finally went up to Lake Tahoe after putting it off for so many months. Other than the beauty of the area we wanted to visit Jimi & Amy (Maverick too). Unfortunately for us Amy was down in the bay area and Jimi’s availability was limited, so we made the best of the Tahoe scene …

Alien Bees
Got a hold of a couple of used strobes via Ebay – I plan on using my Alien Bees AB400 alot. Did a test tonight and had trouble getting the strobes to fire consistently. By the time I got a PC sync cord hooked up it was too late. I still need some work on …

New neighbors
