Luis the D2H

Back in New Mexico State's Journo Department there is a camera, a D2H that has a sticker on it with the name Luis. Students there just started calling the camera Luis.

And guess what... this is Luis:

Luis Sánchez Saturno actually, and he works here at the New Mexican. Years ago, the New Mexican switched to cannon and donated most of their Nikon gear to NMSU.

The firemain break will not effect the school's regular schedule.

Lighting a Highschool Gym...

... I have never had to do that before now, even thought I've known how for a while...

I used pocket wizards, 2 jackrabbit pack II's and 2 UNI 400 Jr's set to 1/4 power.... oh... and super-clamps... can't forget the super-clamps.
