Many of you have heard of DROBO lately! It’s really cool and a very smart storage system!! It’s basically a RAID storage system at a MUCH lower price than RAID systems are known to be!! In their words, it’s “The world’s first storage ROBOT! Fully automated data storage that ensures that your data is always protected, your capacity is unlimited and requires no special knowledge or expertise!” It’s a GENIUS thing for weddings because you can keep updating your storage capacity as you add more events and not need to continue stacking up external hard drives on your desk! Ok, maybe I’m the only one who does that! AND….EVEN better, they JUST announced a STELLAR deal on the DROBO with HARDDRIVES!! You can get the DROBO system WITH 4 TB of STORAGE for $1075!! STEAL!!! It’s normally $1600, so that is a GOOD savings for a RAID storage system, complete protection and reliability on the safety of your DATA and 4 TB’s of storage!! WOW!!

(i’m laughing to myself right now!) i hate them for being sooo freaking inventive and inspired WITHOUT fail…and i love their work like CRAZY. hence, love/hate, hate/love. Regardless of my feelings, they are clearly one the BEST photogs of our time! NO doubt. i just wanted to show you this and tell you that a) if YOU can see images like this just happen as you are on a normal shoot, then KUDOS TO YOU my friend….you are cooler than me and b) this image makes me want to be a better photographer for more reasons than one. period.
