This is Whitney and Jamie at the Palace of Fine Arts in SF. We casted them (among a few others to come) to have new material for the upcoming Strobist Info book. They were awesome!

Speaking of the book, y'all have been extremely patient. I've finally received word from Peachpit Publishing and they're excited about it. In related news, did you know David Hobby owns the "strobist" name? Thus my tentative title "Strobist Info" may become "Strobist® Info" ....

David, if you're reading this, name your favorite whiskey and I'll send a bottle your way if you lend borrowing rights to name :)

strobist info: (withheld)

Took a brief trip to Tahoe this last weekend for Thanksgiving. Stuck the camera out the window for a moment while driving over El Dorado Hills just past Sacramento.

Straight out tha camera.

This is James Buckhouse, a marketing chap at Twitter. This shot was taken during our bi-monthly intranet office shoots and I figured I'd share the info with folks since it's quite a common setup.

Shot at the Flash Bullet studios, this is Sara Haider, Technical lead of Administration tools at Twitter Inc.
