mmm, here is a side note: i'm just back from the Chicago our world underwater. Backscatter had a booth just a few yard from Reef photo. I, from Aquatica was sharing a table with Chris Parson (CP) from Nauticam at the Backscatter booth... let me tell how it ended, first let start with what did not happen, none of us required stitches, bandages or required the uses of a jock strap for that matter, all 15'' aluminum strobe arms where left on the table, none being used as blunt object, what did happen is we ended having a nice weekend shooting the breeze, talking underwater photography between us and the crowd , chatting over coffee & sandwich and mostly bitching about our calves, kneecaps and the concrete floor. Nothing exceptional in itself as this is what we usually end up doing at these shows.
Pretty much nothing to do with this thread but a lot to do about this industry.
