Gitzo’s New Hero!

I am please to announce that Gitzo, a makers of world class tripods, has finally added me to they’re “Local Heroes” program. I am in good company. Other “Heroes” are my good friend and fellow Lumen Dei leader David duChemin, and Art Wolfe (a fellow Lexar Pro and an outstanding photographer). You can check it out here.

This is a program where select photographers who have given back to their community are highlighted by Gitzo. I was asked to join back in August of 2006. But I guess it takes time. Why don’t you visit it and tell the rest of us what you think? There are some really great photographers linked to this program.

I have been back in the States now for about 4 weeks and all I have shot is a baby for a friend. (That sounds bad, doesn’t it?) So I leave Tuesday for three weeks in Thailand. A board meeting with an organization I shoot for. I really hope to carve out some time to shoot.

If you recall, I had quite a hassle carrying on my photo equipment back in the summer of ’06. Think Tank Photo a maker of quality bags has sent me a bag to review. It is their newest roller bag called the “Airport International“. I am excited to give it a try and write a review for this blog as well as for Lexar. Pray it makes it on time. They shipped it overland and it is due to arrive on Monday. I leave bright and early Tuesday.
