  • IT’S HERE IN REALITY!  THE SOFTLIGHT DIFFUSER!

    Thanks
    David Hessemer for helping me re-name the “delta” diffuser.  By
    the time we got to the final product, it completely lost the “wedge”
    shape, because we wanted to have it be the same size as the camera for
    fast storage.

    We tested three different
    formulations before we got the final prototype… just in time for it
    to be reviewed for the Christmas issue of “WIRED” Magazine!

    It was a real beeyotch getting
    this prototype done rapidly, but when Wired Magazine contacts you and
    says they would like to review your product, you get it done!

    I’ll post some comparisons
    tomorrow – it is an absolutely amazing addition to your point-and-shoot
    camera.  It creates soft, portrait-like lighting. 

  • TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED!  I’M COMING TO A CITY NEAR YOU!

    We’ve
    finalized the schedule for the upcoming seminar tour.  I’m going
    to come to a city near you and give you an exciting game-plan for
    pricing/merchandising and promoting your business for a
    super-successful 2006.

    I can’t wait to give this presentation.   But there’s a more important reason I’m doing this announcement now:

    The Ellen DeGeneres show is
    matching our contributions for Katrina survivors to the Red Cross fund
    up to $500,000.  They haven’t hit it yet so I’m going to take
    1/10th of the ticket purchases and donate it to the Red Cross – thereby
    doubling the power of your contribution.  So for every seminar
    ticket you buy, you’ll help the survivors with nearly $16 in aid, per
    $79 ticket.  Plus, you’ll save $50 over the $129 price at the door
    by early registration.

    I’m hitting most of the major
    U.S. Cities.  Spend an evening with me from 6-10:30pm this
    Jan/Feb.  And please, register now so I can donate proceeds from
    your ticket purchase to the Ellen fund!  CLICK HERE!

  • THE PRIVATE SALE OFFER E-MAIL WENT OUT!  you can order!

    OK
    - if you are an owner of the Lightsphere – you WILL get the private
    offering email TONIGHT – so if you do NOT get it – check your junk mail
    box definitely!

    If you opted out of mailings from
    my e-cart – I’m sorry but there’s no way we can add you back to the
    list – we have an “additive” remove database so once you opt out -
    (theoretically) you are off my list forever.  The only way to get
    back on it is to buy something with a different e-mail address.  I
    have periodic cart-sale discounts on my cool products, and I try to not
    annoy you.

    We are running the parts this
    week, and they will be at the new distribution facility by next week,
    and shipping next week via ground service.  I will keep you
    updated on here… NO CRYBABIES!  You can shoot your next gig with
    your old-standby Classic LS2 Portrait-dome diffuser.  So please be patient, I
    was going to put it on hold for another two weeks – but owners of the
    original Lightsphere will get first crack at the totally clear, totally
    flexible and awesome LS2PJ!

    If you get the email, do not give
    out the secret web address – you will only take away from the available
    stock and create a faster sellout.  The LS2PJ’s won’t be available
    to the general public for a few weeks more as we get our shipping
    logistics together.  Remember, if it sells out – keep coming back
    because we are monitoring our stock very carefully!
