ABSOLUTELY NON PHOTO SUBJECT - VEHICLE WAS KEYED IN PARKING GARAGE
I went to Gander Mountain to look at the offerings of new winter gloves.....haven't purchased any in over 5 yrs.....time for new ones.....after finishing at GM I return to my Isuzu Trooper to find the drivers door KEYED.......Well for what ever reason I had a bad feeling about the full sized black dodge 4x4 that was parked next to me.....and across the white line on my side of the parking space....so I wrote down the lic plate number: SEDGWICK COUNTY KANSAS TAG SFJ 988 FULL SIZED BLACK DODGE 4X4.......
So I call the police to report a crime.......and got a case number.....well you can guess what I was told................
Asked the B**** that was supposed to be taking my info to speak to her supervisor and she f****** hung up on me and I had already been on hold for over 40 minutes............

NIKON's SB900 AS WIRELESS REMOTE - GOTTA LOVE IT
Been Playing trying to get use to a sophisticated flash...the SB900 as a wireless remote flash......on flash bracket, camera rotator type....Stroboframe R4B.......gotta love not needing a cable wrapped around the upright or getting into the way of the viewfinder......I have had so many cam mfg'er cables and 3rd party back up cables just quit no warning just quit......
I tried to use the SB900 as a wireless remote when I first got it, I could not get it work on a flash bracket and just recently redid my settings and have no idea what changes I actually made that made this start working but I am so glad to see that no matter the orientation, landscape or portrait, that the flash sees, feels, hears or what ever it does for communication but it works........even outdoors pointed into direct sunlight it still works like a charm........OH boy no more cables.......
THE HOUSE CLEANING SALE IS STILL HAPPENING ON EBAY.......................

ADDONICS SATA CF CARD READER / WRITER
Well I received my ADDONICS CF CARD READER / WRITER ADAPTER.....very well built and easy install......came with everything to install in the pci slots or in the front panel in a 3.5 drive bay.
The unit it self is well built and the CF slot has metal guide slots for the card to slide in.....comes with a push button ejector .
I could not get my computer to recognize it......I tried everything I could think of and also what the mother board company suggested for me to do and also what the tech from ADDONICS suggested I do......unfortunately it has to go back since I just do not have the patience to keep working with it.....as that keeps me from shooting pix.....
Working with ADDONICS was a pleasure as no one got snooty or just left me hanging waiting for an answer to my inquiry(s).........
I'll wait until I get another computer and probably will try the reader again, maybe a different MOBO might work better but this box is less than a year old so not ready to replace it yet............

I HATE DECEIVERS AND CRIMINALS.....A very long post....
Those damn internet scammers.....I hate them with a passion.....about a month ago I was contacted by a gentleman that said he lived in the KC area, and while traveling (for business) he was trying to put together a surprise for his wife of 5 yrs.....a wedding recepting party for their 5th anniversary......Kool....I told him that I could recommend some really good photogs in the KC area and that I live In Wichita.
He fully realized that I lived in Wichita and all that and that it might cost him more to have me travel to KC but that was fine and he asked for a quote and gave me the date and hotel that the party was to be at.....He said that all the hotel reservations for booking the party hall was already done.
I did a map quest and google maps to compare the distance from my house to the even address in KC and took a quick look into booking a room at the same hotel for convenience.....got prices made a quote. All is good. He had more questions......and I GLADLY answered and he made reference to my website and the photos that had been published in the book "WICHITA VISIONS" and how he liked the photos.....How he liked what he saw in general on my Website and FlikR.......so I knew he was checking out my work........Then he made a mistake he sent me an email that did not have his name on it......it was some other guys name and the ending domain extension was no longer a hotmail.com the dot com had changed to a foreign country.......so I immediately called the hotel in KC and no hall booking for that day was on their books nor with any reservation center across the country.....so I played along and told him that I would payment in one of 2 forms....either by CASHIERS CHECK or wired by WESTERN UNION....no personal or business checks or money orders would be accepted and I put a deadline on it...........explaining I had done business this way for over 30 yrs........He wrote back saying his financial officer would be sending the money............
So I made one more demand.....real real name and I explained to him what made me leery of his requests and that the hotel in downtown KC had no bookings for that date for a wedding anniversary party.............I have never heard back from him......
I cannot believe that these criminals think all people that offer services on the web are so damn guilable......did this scammer not realize that any photog would check wit the Hotel for guidelines and floor plans and such that we need to know so we can set up and be ready for our work in advance......did he truly think I would drive almost 4 hours on the day of the shoot and jump out of my car with a camera and flash and just shoot away.....HOLY MOLY......not quite............
Also check IP addresses of all business related emails.......
Right after the above job went belly up...I get another offer for a wedding in California......ok great, I have shot in San Fran., Sacramento, Hollywood, and Santa Monica....not like it is my first time to be hired to travel for a photography shoot......and she was asking all the right questions wanting a detailed list for the quote....what type of equipment I used....actually stated she did not want a photog with an entry level camera....I explained that it was not the camera so much as it was the person behind it......I tried to get her to let me refer her to a few local California photos...... but no she was very satisfied with what she lad learned from talking to me and wanted me to make a quote.....so I did.....a week went by and then 2 and then a surprise an email that I would receive my fee on the following Tuesday......so I promptly replied to her....do not forget that money must be in the form of a CASHIERS CHECK or WESTERN UNION money transfer...no personal or business checks or money orders would be accepted..........Well on Thursday I received a overnight envelope with a return addy of KENNEDY SPACE CENTER SR405 ORLANDO FL 32899......NO NAME.....AND A CHECK FOR MORE THAN THE QUOTED AMOUNT.......$4k MORE THAN THE QUOTED PRICE....Methinks I smell a scam.....so off to the bank and tell the teller, whom I know from the years of banking there, of my suspicions ..... well they can't just scan the routing number to see if it is any good and then she has me take a seat while she does something else.....something else.....she smiles and disappears.....about 15 minutes later she comes back to inform me that this is a SCAM.....the account had been closed for a very long time.....so I came home and told the SCAMMER that the bank would have to hold the check for almost a month and as I had previously stated the funds had to be in the form of a CASHIERS CHECK OR WESTERN UNION money transfer.......I get a reply...go ahead and deposit the wedding has been postponed to later date and I was given a date.......How stupid do these people think other legitimate business people are.........I cannot believe this.....then she asked me to forward the overpayment to the caterer but did not give me a name or address for the caterer.....but being the nice guy I am I asked her for this info.....waiting for next email......
OH I have damn near unlimited email space and I do not throw away email pertaining to my business and I almost never discuss details by phone...only by email....that way we all have proof of what transpired during discussions..........
turned out this scammer all of a sudden had an IP address that I could check (all previous ones would not check at all thru what is my IP dot com) and it was a NIGERIAN IP for a yahoo.it (yahoo Italy) account.....Hmmmmmmmm
Another fatal mistake was she had been referencing Santa Monica Ca and then all of a sudden it was in Santos Montana CA.................
Have to hold all evidence just in Case the FBI should want to make a case...in other words they are not interested in to looking into how someone got the checks from a closed account or whoi actually sent it to me from........not Orlando Florida but Indianapolis IN.......yup it actually originated in Indianapolis........

GARY FONG STYLE DIFFUSERS
I really do not know how the Gary Fong style of diffusers have gotten so popular.....they really are:
1- very ugly...looks like a tupperware bowl attached to your flash
2- is heavy and will cause stress on the flash head over time
3- are made flash model specific....so if you have say an arsenal of flashes...lets say Nikon SB600, 800 and 900 and a Vivatar 285HV.....then it would take 4 gary fong styled diffusers to be able to have one to use on each flash......With a LumiQuest Soft box or a Bounce diffuser....one will fit all the flashes due to the way the difuser attaches to the flash head......by a velcro strap....and zI have never had one come loose in the many decades of using the original LumiQuest Softbox.
4-take up lot of room in a cam bag.....a least all of the LumiQuest line folds flat and take up vey little room, I actually slide mine between the padded cam bag wall and the outer shell.....so I do not loose any actual cam bag real Estate..............
I like the LumiQuest brand as they are well made and not really expensive.....a lot of people swear by the DO IT YOURSELF diffusers but I do not want a client questioning my abilities because they recognize a piece of equiptment as HOMEMADE.........just my 'umble opinon.

WATERMARKS, COPYRIGHTS AND SIGNATURES
Watermarks, copyrights and signatures are all ways for an artist to TRY and safe guard his work from internet theives......for what little it actually does......it does slow them down a bit especially if you toss in the right clik prohibitor (for what little good that does)........however I have been catching all kinds of hell of the use of watermarks on some forums I constantly frequent.
TIME
These same forums do not any......yes I sad any type of security for the posters and tha is ok, I do not mind but I will take the time to try and prohibit the easy access to my images that I worked my ass of to produce.......these same bitchers, keep asking.....can you post large images......wholly snotball cheese brain......why the hell would I post larger images with no security for my work...Lets get real........I have been praised by several publsihers for the watermarking of my website galleries and now some snotballed cheese brain asks me to take away my security and openly post larger images so they can ge stolen and easily used with having to go in Photoshop and do a shit load of cloning that due to the type and size of the watermarks, copyright notice and my signature is going to take several hours of work.............I DON'T FREAKIN THINK SO!!!!
I am sure these are actually well meaning forum participants that do not realize that they are virtually asking you to just openly give away my images to any Dickless tom or harry that is looking for free art.......and I cannot do that............
Rant done for n0w.......................................................................................i think.

Built in Light meter......not in the cam but inside of me
I just noticed a funny....no not funny but very cool thing about my shooting.....since getting the Nikon D300's and a Sigma Bigma (50-500mm) lens and the persistent shooting of wildlife in Manual mode.......that is totally manual man..............I have been able to damn near just look at where a deer or duck or egret is setting and go let me see I am always at either f11 or f8 and the shutter needs to be........at 1/125 and I am normally with in less than 1/2 of a stop off.....pic will either be a touch under or over exposed but still very usable.......not is the time to widen that and get away from the city lakes to open fields and see if I can get my internal lightmeter working on top of all situations I get into outdoors........................
This was my own explanation to myself of how i was able all those years ago, when shooting concerts I was able to walk in and take a look at the lighting as the lighting engineers were running tests on the different combos and i was able to pick a shutter speed and an aperture and get an over 80% good keeper shots...........
