My buddy and I partnered up and went in on a studio together. Got the keys last week, 1700 sq ft to mess around with. Cleaning and painting the floors, mounting background hooks, and moving equipment in this week. Building a 16' cyclorama, makeup and wardrobe room, product shooting area, and the office over the next month. I'll update as things progress :)

Awesome.....judging by your current gallery, I'm sure you'll put the place to great use. Can't wait to see some of the work that comes out of the place.

It's getting there. Should have all the panels in for the cyc this weekend, and then it's time to move onto the makeup and wardrobe areas. Those should go fast.

I'm thoroughly jealous.

Haha I just wish they were cheaper. But after working with them for the past couple years, I can't imagine going back to sync cords :)

Power Watch?

pocket wizards. used for wirelessly triggering strobes.

considering this is a hobby for me.. they are way too expensive... so I went with ebay cactus v2's :)

My only experience with ebay remotes wasn't a very good one. They didn't work :(

I don't like paying for PWs, but at least I don't worry when I work with them :)
