Only after the last tree has been cut down.

And what the fuck do I do when I'm travelling, working on a creative project and have no access to the internet, or just want to work offline?

I have an original one of these. The design is really clean and beautiful.

£3000 on two D700 cameras from SLR Hut. US/UK company (their address is an accomodation addresss in London). It looked a bit (read: really) dodgy but they did have some good online reviews and their prices were very keen.

I'd forgotten about that, you're absolutely right.

You got there before me! I totally agree.

I doubt that any kind of psychological testing can prepare people for the kind of potential issues that might arise as you are basically permanently marooned on what amounts to a desert planet. If fact it's a much bigger challenge than a desert as they have a breathable atmosphere and normally are completely and…

Too true. Printing your currency in more than two colours would make it much harder to conterfeit and reproroduce too and you wouldn't want that would you?

My personal advice is to always make sure that the gear that you take is in a carry on size bag. I use a ThinkTank Airport Accelerator (http://www.thinktankphoto.com/products/airport-accelerator.aspx) which lets me carry a huge amount of gear into the cabin with me rather than submitting it to the tender embraces of…
