They are awesome... both in the quality of the product and in their service. As for learning resources... strobist.com is a great place to start. Their focus is on off-camera strobes... but the same principles and techniques apply to studio lighting as well. The local bookstore or even used bookstore... or heck even the library... is going to be full of great books about lighting. Nothing new is worth learning first... the basics haven't changed in years... so you'll be good with anything you choose. Or, come to Orange County and just hang out!

I am going to have to come there for a week and be a intern :) I would love to learn how you are doing this. I also need to invest in LIGHTING. It's the one area that I have always been weak in. Got any suggestions as to where I can learn more by reading up on it or maybe even a website? I love this lighting.

The exposure was done with my Alien Bees studio strobes and ringflash with a battery pack. I overpowered the sun by about a stop and a half... that and the wrap-around lighting gave it the look it has. This was actually done with very minimal adustments, I did them all in Lightroom and only used PS to clone out some dust and resize/sharpen for web. Hey David,
