I found your site while reading Strobist and immediately became homesick for San Diego again. I'm out of town on long term family business, but it was good to see familiar places and faces through the eyes of a fellow photographer. I have grabbed your RSS feed to see more as you post. Nice work Rob, all the best. Great photos all around. I found your site while reading Strobist and immediately became homesick for San Diego again.

I get groups asking that from time to time... I need to be quicker on the feet. Anyway thought you deserved to know your joke made someone laugh a lot.

For the past 2 years, I've done this with my assistants and even paid a couple homeless people in Vegas to hold a speed light connected to the off camera cable when I couldn't get my PW cable to work. My last 2 blog post show examples of the assistant holding the light on either a small boom arm or just plain in hand. I started doing this after a couple lights met heavy winds while a student and it works so well for run and gun shooting that it has now become a staple of my environmental work. Thanks for the great work Rob, You're the shiznit! Peace from Minneapolis! I love this post!

I learnt very quickly you need some decent upper body strength especially on fashion shoots where model and phographer are always on the move. A very good work out.
