Help Out Another Photo Podcaster

July 6, 2006: Our listener Andy send us this note:

Hi Scott, Michael,I’m sorry to say that Chris Marquardt’s studio got burgled the other day (the guy who runs Tips from the Top Floor podcast). He had a lot of gear stolen, which was NOT INSURED, including a brand new Canon 5D, a Canon EF80-200 2.8L lens and a Samsung laptop.

More details can be found here:

Now I know Chris’ runs a similar podcast to yours, but I’m hoping that you might be able to say something on your show about this – if you could perhaps list the stolen equipment and serial numbers and ask people to keep an eye on eBay for suspicious items. It would also be an opportune time to remind people to get their equipment insured and to make a note of serial numbers, should the worst happen.

C’mon guys, I know you would feel awful if this happened to you – please help Chris out. Right, I’m off to make a note of the serial numbers on my gear right now…

looking forward to the next show!

thanks,

Andy

First of all, Andy, how DARE you listen to another podcaster or read his blog! Stop cheating on us!

Naw, just teasing. We’re happy to help out Andy! We’ve also invited Chris to be on the show to help spread the word about what happened to him. Of course, we’ll also pump him for his best photo tips and tricks.

Thanks for alerting us to this, Andy. U da man!

    Micheal and Scott. I’d like to talk to you about doing and interview. I’m photographing the Badwater footrace at the of the month. It a 132 mile race from Badwater, Death Valley to Mt. Whitney Portal. Here is the Web address of the race if you want to learn more, http://www.badwater.com
    I’ve photo’d the race since 2001 and will be doing it again this year. I could take a few minutes during the race to call you and so a short interview for you.
    It’s an eciting event, temps as high as 130F, long distances, etc. There will be about 90 competitors from 14 countries.
    Let me know of your interest and will see what we can arrange.
