Achchch!… the suspense over the Outdoor Retailer winter market news is killing me! Especially living here in Japan where everyone is awake when all you people in the States are sleeping and vice versa. And then the articles keep coming one at a time, like little doses of cream to my coffee, just enough to change the hue, but not enough to taste any changes… but good enough to want to drink more!
I’d like to ask one favor of the BPL staff drooling over the new ware… might the photographers turn up their camera sensitivity (higher ISO, say around 400 or so) and turn off their flashes? I think the photos will then not be so dark and full of shadows. As it is the gear is really hard to make out in the photos.
And I’d love another, more representative photo of the Granite Gear Northern Light Tarp… as it is I can’t understand what I am looking at.
I know… I know… *grumble, grumble*… It’s just the anticipation 16 hours ahead is driving me nuts…
Coming back just a little later and a whole list of items appeared! Ah, the joys of time lag!
