DAVID

Dave Strobist

David Hobby was a staff newspaper photojournalist for 20 years before founding Strobist.com, the net's most popular photographic lighting resource, in 2006. Strobist has taught literally millions of photographers around the world how to better use light. His site receives about 100,000 page views a day, from more than 300,000 photographers a month, from nearly every country on the planet. Which all sounds pretty cool unless you read McNally's bio immediately to the right. So please don't.

GEAR

As little as possible. A Nikon body, coupla lenses and as many Nikon SB-800s as I can bring without kicking in excess baggage charges. I am sort of the "anti-McNally."

PHILOSOPHY

If at all possible, wear shorts. If in doubt, wear shorts.

WORK

Occasionally, if truly required. I'd rather be taking pictures.

FAVORITE QUOTE

"Other than that, Ms. Lincoln, how was the play?" (Which applies to photo shoots more often than you might think.)

RESOURCES

Strobist.com has more than 2,000 posts of free lighting information, and is worth every penny.

Also available: Strobist Lighting Seminar (DVD boxed set, June 2008).

THE CREW

Drew Gurian

Production Supervisor

Drew abandoned his wild ride of a life as a rock & roll drummer to embrace the security and stability of freelance photography. Last year, he was the one who said "Let's go on tour!"

Drew's Twitter

Tricia Masturzo

Tour Producer

An organizational whiz, whose initial efforts got the bus rolling. She organized dates, times and venues, as well as a reasonably sane path for the bus to follow.



Jeff Snyder

AKA, "The Big Guy", Jeff cannot only shoot with the best, he can conjure hard to get, just announced yesterday type cameras and lenses out of thin air. We think he's got the presidents of all the big photo manufacturers on speed dial.

Lynn DelMastro

Executive Tour Producer

She may be small, but she's from New York and is capable of doing more jobs and juggling more details in a single day than a flight controller at JFK during the holidays.



Mike Grippi

Photo & Road Assistant

Also known as "The Karaoke King" of Ridgefield, Grippi will, as his name suggests, be gripping and moving lighting, stands, etc. If he sings too much on the bus, he gets to travel with the luggage.

Mike's Twitter

Monica

An organizational force of nature who has the magic of the web somehow embedded in her DNA. She will run the tickets, answer the questions, and as always, deliver the goods.

Karen Lenz

Road Manager / Tour Producer

AKA "Motor City Mama", she'll be the den mother, crew wrangler, and laying the smack down on any venue coordinator who shows up a few chairs short. Her female presence will keep the rest of the bus just this side of caveman.



Mike Cali

Photo & Road Assistant

Will be preparing bowls of "blue only" M&M's, and basically doing whatever we tell him to- including running along side the bus.

Mike's Twitter

Margi

Capable of organizing anything, even photographers, she can run three phone conversations at once. She will man the phones, handle the questions, and tell everybody, including us, where to go.

Huge thanks to Mike Cali & Trevi DelMastro for their production help, and to Rose Green for helping with all travel arrangements!
