Only your webserver seems borked. I can see the URLs in your post, if I choose to quote your post, but even pasting the image links into a new browser window will not work. It looks like the subdomain "m-mason" is not properly linked because the server tries to find http://.smugmug.com That extra period after the forward slashes has no place in there. Or maybe it's that smugmug doesn't like hot-linking.

Apparently, this guy likes to carry hoods around his arm. So he is using a 24-70L without it's hood I guess......
I'll put this into proper perspective by adding the background story (Another copy/paste from the avatar topic.)
My first ever taste of party photography was at the Mysteryland dance festival in 2004, where this shot was taken. Backstage access, the whole lot, just freelancing the whole day. The only catch was I had to carry some glassware for the guy in the shot with the 1DMk II. The 24-70L was sitting in my back pocket. I was prancing around with a Powershot G3 at that time, along with the lens in my pocket, I didn't have my 10D back then.

Pretty nice.
I was at the time, sort of anyway, just for once...
The guy in the picture, a good friend of mine, did a lot of party photography (still does, only less often) and asked me if I wanted to tag along for a day at Mysteryland. I've been a visitor to dance events like these (Dance Valley, Extrema Outdoors) for years, so it'd be very interesting to see it from a different side. I could join, free entrance and backstage access, on the condition that I'd carry some of his lenses. I had carte blanche to shoot what I wanted. I had to arrange a camera so I borrowed a Powershot G3 because I didn't have my 10D back then.
My portfolio reflects what I've done since: Concerts, festivals and clubs, some just for the fun of it, other gigs for publication on the web. Once every 2 months or so. Let's just say I'm very happy that I've got a set of custom made ear plugs I love this kind of photography.
In normal life I'm a graduate student Materials Science & Engineering.
i have the same filter holder. its great. bc you attach it to any lens using the adapters. it also has several slots so you can mix you filters to get amazing pictures...
the best way to save money is to buy them in sets...
