I visited Mark Rabiner in his studio here in Portland, OR. He had a photo
shoot session. He used his M6 with studio flashes. I am not talking about
little twinkies here folks. I am talking about Balcar units.

No tripod here either. He shot handheld. It was a great experience seeing
him in action. If you think seeing his works is a treat, his studio work
is an all you can eat buffet. The man is so full of energy. Bravo, Mark.
