What's with all these old threads being dug up the last couple days? This one is 2 years old and I just saw a thread that's almost 7 years old.

Maybe they miss Frank?

I read a couple of them too and saw Frank's name and realized they were old.

I'll admit to kind of missing the dose of "just shut up and make pictures" he brought to this forum. Like a lot of other technical pursuits, we can get caught up in the gadgetry from time to time.

Yeah, I agree. We all need a little kick in the seat of our pants from time to time just to remind us that it's really all about the image.

I think the problem with Frank is he also sometimes kicked on the other side!

I got turned away at the Canadian border once, US client. I am probably on some BS list but I really couldn't care less. I have no desire to visit Canada again, honestly nothing personal to any Canadians. My experience (aside from that one) is that I have been harassed more by my own government than by any other at a border. Funny how that has been.

I generally find that once you know them people are good; government agencies, well they can be another issue...

For purposes of clarity, I use the term government agency, rather than government organization, as it implies something that it may be totally lacking...

In short: if you plan to do work in US - you required to have a visa. Period. And you will also get a bit nudged if you bringing prints through border for sale.

... and possibly to show prints even if they are NFS.

Its kinda hard to tell.. Theoretically they cant really limit it, if its not going with with intent of business purpose But practically, it , as always, depends on particular officer at border. Some are really nice guys and some are just complete and utter... Well.. Not nice ones. All shades. I had my carbon tripod disassembled and broken by customs in CHI, for example. Just b/c he felt like it.
