Our CSR at Crawfordsville is Mike Binford. Most of our work that RRD produces in done in Menasha, WI (old Banta plant), Eldridge, IA and Jefferson City, MO (both are old VonHoffmann plants). RRD prints a lot of our books.

Since you were a CSR you know that very few press OK's go smooth.

That's why I was wishing you best of luck.

Mike and I graduated from high school together. Be sure and make his day as difficult as possible.

Be safe on your travels.

Very nice as usual Kevin.

Thanks Danny. Hope all is well in warm southern California.

No doubt...some of the BEST I've seen!

solid work Kevin, you balanced that lighting very very well. Man I wish parents here bought s&@! so I'd have an excuse to validate buying strobes instead of speedlights. I'll live vicariously through you until that happens.

Thanks Scott. I wish parents here did as well. If it weren't for the portrait side of things making some money the strobes would have to be on the sales block because sports sales don't even cover the cost of the modeling light bulbs. Pretty depressing.

crazy right? keep up the great work though man. one makes you better at the other so it's all good.

Wow these are tack sharp!

Kevin, absolutely amazing as usual. Every ting from the lighting, to capture and now full body shots from under the basket with the 24-70. Maybe you will need to shoot with two bodies from now on. One with the 70-200 and one w/the 24-70. I learn so much from you. Thanks.

Thanks. I have tried the two bodies for basketball thing before and for me it seems like I always have the wrong one in my hand for the play that happens. Kinda like when I try to decide which line to get in for the bank drive up. I always pick the wrong one.

I love that look.. Now to get some 110ws strobes.

You should see me try and find my way out of a revolving door.
