Thank you Tim. Chris is currently traveling away from Chicago on assignment, but I'm sure he will have more to say when he gets back.

AP has been very good to me and I can't imagine doing anything else.

Sorry I dropped off for a bit. Thank you all for the great advice. Now on to trying it out :-)

Really enjoyed the Dean Collins video; took me back to my early days in photo assisting at a commercial studio. When i first saw that he did 12 interiors in a day I thought, "Bullshit!" and then he talked about having two carts with identical equipment on them so that while one room was being photographed the other equipment cart was being moved to the next room. Genius! Or, should I say, a typical commercial photographer - solving seemingly insurmountable obstacles with simple solutions.

I would go with genuis, rather than "typical". As one who had the pleasure of meeting Dean at a couple of seminars, he reminded me of Robin Williams. Although one was a brilliant comedian and the other a brilliant photographer and educator, they had that one thing in common, i.e., a mind that moved at the speed of light. We lost both of them way too soon.
