Many thanks to Colin for letting us use his fancy camera and Katherine for helping us schlep. If you're curious about our photo set-up take a look. We bought a giant backing sheet for $60 and rented the lights, amp, radios, and bike stand for $100 from Pro Camera Rental.

We love our current jobs - working with Chapter Three doing open source web strategy and development - but its important to mix it up and blend the style and substance of our lives. Look for this to break out big.
