Pigs-n-Heat at the SDC
This is the first time we've attended the event and it certainly was fun. The organizers did a great job. Chuck a Puck was especially fun to watch. McGruff the Crime Dog was also in attendance and posed for a few pictures.
Lots of pictures below, enjoy...

Happy 80th Birthday Albert
The Sigma Rho boys along with Dave and Mark threw quite the party for our friend Albert's 80th birthday.
Albert's a great guy, a great friend, and well deserving of the accolades.
Albert always says his birth was responsible for the great stock market crash of '29 and he started the depression. Quite the opposite as Albert is the last person you could possibly be depressed around.
Happy Birthday Albert!
ALL THE PARTY PICS

Laser Direct Imaging
The latest very cool piece of equipment installed at Calumet Electronics. This is laser direct imaging. Yes, a solid-state laser complete with prism and the space-age rocket-looking air cleaning system.
I may not work for NASA, but for Calumet, MI, this is pretty darn cool.

SB-900 Test at 6:00am
These are the first test shots with the new SB-900 flash at 6:00 am. At this time of the morning, the only models available were our cats, Finnegan and Rachael. As you can see Finnie is a willing model, but Rachael is a little shy. The flash is awesome. A little noisy with its ability to zoom and following the lens, but well worth it. As I said when I used the SB-800s, Nikon's slogan should be:
"Let there be light and let it be perfect"
