eventually MJ.

Letus are working on it hence no information. When it is done the relay will fit directly onto the ex3 body. But the relay will be quite expensive, they are using very high quality glass.

Great job Philip! Death Valley is humungous, and six hours is indeed not enough! (Although most tourists say it’s plenty Hope you were able to live out your Star Wars fantasies while out in Zabriskie Point.

Good luck in Japan!

Impressive! I’m even more impressed about how much kit you bring with you on a shoot. I get stressed going through security with a video camera, a few harddrives and my laptop and praying my sticks make it as checked baggage along with the lights in my suicase. You bring the kitchen sink!

Love reading/watching your site. Thanks for posting so much good stuff.

Great choice of font.
Good decision to embrace the public and not get frustrated going for the empty wilderness look. More patient, smooth editing is developing to the advantage of the final product,thanks for finding the time to keep us up with the word tour.

Hey Phil,
Good meeting you in Vegas. I wish I knew you were headed to Japan. My girlfriend grew up in Tokyo. She could have told you all about it. We go there once a year to see her mom (right outside of Shibuya in Tokyo). Anyway I would love to see another Philip Bloom Letus short from Nikko. I’m sure you will end up in that part of the country at some point. Have a good time!
