quick update

1- Received my second Cyber Sync receiver, decided that the optical slaves were just not enough to rely on after the trouble I had at Dante's shoot with the physical separation of the strobes.  I can now also trip both of my speedlights by remote if I need; so cool.  I like the Cyber Syncs, my only complaint is there is not lanyard attachment or pouch that i can get from them.  Makes things slightly difficult when they are hanging on my stands.

2- Did an update to mhambel.com wanted to simplify the navigation a bit, the layout remains the same but there is now less options as I combined the bio and about pages.  At the same time though I broke out the about page into distinctive sections that address certain aspects.  I also rewrote my bio, i want to add to it but i like this version a lot more.

3- Sending out a page suggestion soon on facebook.  Please be a fan!

4- Starting to work on the concepts and shot list for the calendar project.  Hope to shoot that in May.
5- Got to use thee 4x5 large format camera this weekend.  We had our first assignment, portrait.  We had to do four frames, I brought the camera to the convention and had Andrew pose in the hotel room text messaging, not very exciting since it was a technical assignment but I'm excited to see the results.

6- Made my B&H Canon Wish List.  Anyone want to donate to the cause? j/k
