I could use some help finding the best repair shop for a Canon 200mm 1.8 lens. I need a cleaning and check up on this lens. It is a pretty special lens, so I am looking for the best. Drop me an email if you have a suggestion.
Thank you,

Lightroom Recall!
Just a quick heads up on Lightroom. If you updated to Lightroom 1.4, Adobe has recalled it! Adobe's suggestion is to revert to version 1.3.1. The instructions for reverting aren't completely clear for the Mac. You have to remove the Lightroom .app file and then find and delete the .pkg Lightroom file. Then you can download and install the 1.3.1 version.

"I" Tunes
I have been thinking a lot lately about how I use music in my business. I must admit, this is partially because I have been surfing other websites to see who is using what. I occurred to me that my "use" of music goes beyond advertising or marketing and is really fundamental to the work flow of my business.
I use music as a backdrop while I am working and consciously use it to push my brain one way or the other. I discovered a while ago that if I had to be creative in a non creative environment that hard core jazz was great for getting creative juices flowing and allowing a different perspective on my work. Now, if I am stuck and can't seem to get a fresh idea, I turn to jazz to re-set my brain.
I also listen to a lot of modern alternative music such as the Flaming Lips or Tim Seely. This type of fair seems to drive me to a rhythmic free flowing state that can be a little like a trance. I am very productive and focused while still very relaxed.
One category of music I wish I had more of: melancholy. Sounds strange, I know, but sometimes I just want a whole album of sad songs. It seems like I need to exercise my emotions sometimes and a good album full of melancholy does the trick. I certainly wouldn't call the whole album sad, bu my current single melancholy champion is Buddy Miller's "A Showman's Life". It is off of his (surprise, surprise) Midnight and Lonesome album. I save this album for my time spent with those dramatic black and white conversions.
