Yeah I’m home! Wee 
Hey photo chick ... I’ll be in NYC later today at around 5 ...home by 7 If had more time id take you to east Harlem, the NW side of Columbia university, long island city, governors island, statue of liberty park (by the names), china town's SE section, Little Italy, Times square at 730 ish (time is important) -- bring an orange 86 filter, a neutral blue, at least 3 different polarizer’s, a flash with a bounce card, and a light meter as reflected light is a bitch near Columbia.
You will need a 200mm for Governers Island... but not for anything else. Wide angle is needed for most shots. If you have a HD lens -- you’re all set for 99% of all the pics.
Have fun shooting and make sure you pay attention to shutter speed as the light reflected on the glass buildings makes auto adjustments pretty much useless.

Aright I just put a turbo in. Anyone know the best place to get my car tuned? I want someone who has experience with turbo RX-8's. I don't mind having to drive a couple hundred miles to get the best tuning either. I thought I remember some great tuner being in pennslyvania? Or maybe I'm remembering wrong.
