    Theresa, from the Buzz, is throwing her annual party on Saturday, Dec. 13th at Dirt.





    We have a little more notice this time and it's between holidays. It will be a lot of fun and will have plenty of photographic opportunities!

    you could rent one. you could rent it online since we have time before the party or you could get it locally from light tec.

    http://lighttec.com/houston_canon.html

    their rentals are daily, but if you rent on friday, you get it for the whole weekend for the price of one day.

    I would love to come but I need a body to shoot with as well as a place to stay. I am only about 200 shy of a new 40d..........

    I'm sure someone can crash out at our place. It's not far from dirt and all that happy ****.

    It is an open loft so you may want to bring a sleeping bag depending on if we a have a sofa by then..

    But the space is open and safe LOL

    would you be able to grab one for G and we pay you? We have time issues where we can't get to the place in time to rent it. They're close over the weekend I believe and tomorrow makes it impossible for us to get there.

    danm, it depends on what you want to shoot. if you want body shots or head shots. if you go too wide, you will have to get too close for head shots and i found that people don't generally like the camera right in their face.

    17-55 is what i have been using and it is a good compromise.



    Gilbert, i'm looking forward to meeting you too.

    24-105 it is then. it sounds like they have two 550 speedlights, those should work, i guess.

    ok other stupid questions:

    what level of dress is everyone planning? i have no clue what is appropriate these days

    what time is everyone planning on showing up?

    party doesn't start until 10, i'll probably get there at 930 to be safe.


    does everyone know how to get there?

    here is a map of the location:

    http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Ho...dress=222+Yale


    it is on the downtown side of I-10.


    give me a call if you need to.
