A familiar name in photography circles just took a very impressive turn:

For those not familiar, Ming walks a very interesting line between working photographer, gear head and blogger. I've enjoyed his blog and photoessays, yet it was always clear how picky he was about gear -- he wrote at great length on the subject.
Anyway, FYI on the story. No sure exactly what sort of access/influence this gives him, but it sounds a great deal more than just being a consultant / explorer of light / etc. Good on him.
