Good stuff so far. To those that have sent PM's thanks. I'm going to sort through all of the applicants and begin contacting you next week. Never realized we had so many interested people here. I've even added a photography forum to the next site just for you guys.

If you haven't been contacted yet, do not worry. I've just been too swamped to sort through all the applicants we received. Will keep this thread updated!

Thank you for your consideration

I'd like to be considered as well Tony. I'm a student at Purdue University in middle Indiana. I've been using DSLRs for a year and a half, and am currently working on a website to break into the automotive photography business. This sounds like a great idea to add to my portfolio. I can also write a bit, and I imagine that I could turn in a perfectly acceptable article.
All of the gear in the world doesn't mean **** if you can't use it, but I'll list mine to show that my stuff is capable.
-Canon 40D with grip
-Canon 28 f/1.8, 50 f/1.8, and 100 f/2.0 razorsharp primes
-Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 for the interesting perspective shots
-(2x) Vivitar 285HVs, umbrellas, stands, etc are coming very soon for a portable flash setup
Processing is done in Lightroom 2 and Photoshop CS3. I also use Photomatix to make HDRs.
Here is some of my work. The bike was taken with an old P+S.

Thanks for the kind words sir! No, none of the above were taken with the Tokina, although the lens is proving to be an invaluable addition to my bag. I firmly believe that whenever I advance enough to move up to full frame, the Tokina will stay with me. Even though it is for aps-c sensor cameras, on a full-frame mount it would be usable without vignetting from about 14mm.
Here is a quick example of what I've done with the Toke. Wide aperture at 11mm is awesome...
Sorry to go O/T!
