Seems everyone agrees on plan – data storage on 3 different places – OK. From this jump off, it seems very unclear on path to take. And I can not find a good series that has completed the steps. I guess there are so many options, any effort is better then doing nothing.

Perhaps it is just me, but I have spent a lot of my time trying to find out solution with drobo.

Drobo has confused me though. Many conflicting real world results, now the product has been in the field, both great and horrible.

I bought Drobo, stemming from Fredrick’s and Macbreak peoples gushing over it. But now what? I have been reading recently how important it is to back up your drobo. What? Backing up my back up? Would this mean there needs to be 4 places for data (not just 3)?

I find articles about how to use the Drobo seem to have stopped since early 2009, eccept from resellers. Even the people Macbreak don’t mention drobo anymore – why not? But I hear them embrace NAS solutions.

I hope it is just me, but I find the supporters for drobo kind of faded away.

Thanks, I really have been enjoying your photography blog

Thanks!

After following the the TWiP podcast with cultish fever since the first episode and attending as many of the local meetups as possible in the Bay Area, the opportunity to attend the first TWiP workshop was too good to pass up.

When you have a day job the ability to dedicate yourself entirely to photography (even just for a weekend) can be limited. While it took a lot of effort and resource to attend the workshop, the reward from doing so was immeasurable.

From the first moments it was immediately apparent how much work Joseph and Frederick had put into the planning and preparations of the workshop. After a fun first evening of conversation, burgers, beer, and prizes it was time to get a good night’s sleep for a long day of shooting. Waking up at 6am and packing all of your gear can be incredibly tough, but the experiences and lessons learned from that day are still being digested even weeks later.

The two biggest takeaways from the workshop were accessibility and opportunity. Having the opportunity to shoot such an amazing model under such amazing conditions is something none of us would be able to setup on our own. The access to gear (thanks BorrowLenses.com!) and instruction from world-class photographers in Joseph and Frederick was exponentially as impressive.

As with any opportunity to learn you can only take away from the event as much as you put into it. The truly unique factor was how eager everyone at the workshop was to produce incredible shots. From Frederick & Joseph, to Latti (model) & Alma (makeup artist), to everyone involved at the workshop it was truly an event dedicated to growth photographically and beyond…

If you’ve been on the fence about signing up for a workshop like TWiP Joshua Tree, do it and you won’t regret it

Great site… Keep up the good work. Found you through my sub to TWIP on iTunes.

A- T1i book is the last thing I need.
M-anuals are all I need to use the camera.

L-et me reiterare.
Y-ou should not give the T1i book to me.
I-have no need for it.
N-o really.
G-ive it to someone else.

Thanks Frederick………..

I’d love the Canon50D book.
