Added a Strobist softbox to my gear recently to complement my recent acquisition of the PocketWizard Plus II's for some really great soft diffuse off-camera lighting.

Just received delivery of two PocketWizard Plus II's. Looking forward to trying out some creative off-camera flash photography.

With the recent acquisition of a Drobo Robot storage device, my backup problems have disappeared...for now.
