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.Quote:

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

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.Quote:
