For those who have young girls or friends with young girls you are probably receiving your boxes of girl scout cookies by now.

I got 10 myself and one of them were the "All Abouts"
I just noticed that one side of the box has a kid using a 1D & looks like a 300 2.8. The other side has a girl shooting with a 1D & 24-70 2.8 or 24-105 IS and another girls using white poster board to make fill lights!!

Who would have know they would be taught so young!


It all started as a hobby with a Rebel XT & KIT lens. $5K worth of equipment & $0 of income later, all I have to show for it is a harddrive full of pictures and priceless memories!! Yeah it's still worth it :)

Must be a local thing. My niece lives in Ashburn and I noticed the Canon equipment when we got Girl Scout cookies last year. We didn't have those kind of lessons in the Boy Scouts!


My students ask, "Where's that bazooka lens?"

They'll be setting up in front of the local supermarkets in a few days. I doubt you'll have to search very far to find them.

I first saw the Ls on the 1 models on a couple of the lines something like 3 years ago . . . I only buy Samoas and Thin Mints, so it must have been one of those.
