Ok, so we wrapped the job for Nike on Monday in Sao Paulo, flew up to Mexico City over night, then I hopped a plane back to LA. Here's a note to self and those who are listening. Be sure and register your equipment thoroughly with customs when traveling internationally. I got reamed by the customs officer when coming back into the states. Luckily I had some of my gear listed, but apparently you're supposed to create a form specifically for the gear you're carrying on that trip when you leave the states. I "could have bought" something and brought it back across and would had to pay duties and taxes. A little overboard I know, but that's our government for you. Electronic gear is cheaper in the states anyways, why would I want to go overseas and purchase something that costs 50% more then pay even more taxes on it? Apparently US Customs does. Lesson learned.

Leica D-Lux 3
My first Leica. Probably the best point and shoot camera on the market. I've been looking for one of these for a while. It has full manual controls, shoots RAW 10.1 megapixels, and you can change the aspect ratio on the fly from 35mm ratio to wideframe landscape ratio. It was a total impulse buy yesterday. I trekked around LA trying to find a black one because everyone was sold out. Makes for a great little spycam. More info on the Leica Website.
