Your splitting hairs here. Ive learned a TON from strobist.com and I havent spent one dime. Nobody from the site asked me for money, and I didnt have to enter an email address or \"register\" to get to the meat and potatoes of the content.... so for the purposes of this discussion, yea its free. Lets not get into counting david hobbys\' money.
I\'m not criticizing David, I\'m just saying there are other blogs and sources (http://www.dg28.com/) of lighting information that provide as good or better info, but their marketing skills are not on the same level as Hobby\'s. I was just pointing out that he does it to make money, not out of the kindness of his heart. He did a fantastic job of setting up the blog and promoting it to turn it into a revenue stream. He planned it from the start as a business venture. His marketing skills surpass his lighting skill by far.
