Every day for a couple of weeks has been like my birthday, I have gotten to look forward to the postie arriving every morning to see what he might bring me. This has mainly been because of my (admittedly excessive) eBay activities, but also this morning two special deliveries cheered me right up.
My latest eBay arrival was actually one of my first purchases. Big tip, if you want something quick do not pay by cheque, move on to the next auction where paypal is accepted. I “won” this SB-28 flash on the 9th of September, it arrived on the 30th! I will be doing a review of these flashes along with the SB-26 and how they compare to my 580ex soon now I have got some use out of them.
The surprise parcels this morning were my moo cards and my first ever published photograph.
First the moo cards. They are really really nice. I will definitely be buying a set even though I don’t really have a pressing need for them like Mark.
I’m not sure what the done thing is with these cards, do you just take a random selection of your recent pictures (as I did with the free 10) or choose only your best work (if not your own choice, in who’s opinion? interestingness?) or is it better to actually design an image to use?
The best parcel has to be the British Airways in-flight magazine with my picture in it! For the professionals who see your work in print all the time you will probably think this is really lame but it was quite a moment for me when I opened up this magazine and saw my name under my photograph.
Maybe next time someone might be willing to even pay me…
Seeing as I didn’t win the Strobist competition (boo!) I have ordered a set of Dean Collins DVDs and am also considering buying a set of “ebay radio slaves” so hopefully soon I will have another “birthday moment” soon, heh.

Ahh to be published, tis my ambition, well right after appearing on “Deal no Deal”.
Well done Chris major accomplishment.
My moo cards arrived yesterday and my 11 month old son has made off with them and “hidden” them.
You would love the USA version of deal or no deal (well actually you would probably not even recognise it as the same game), instead of the east and west wing they have a bunch of models, it looks more like miss world than a Noel Edmunds daytime tv show.
