It was funny how you can't tell the team to wait while you take the picture. I hope you summit safely and hope we can see you when you get back. From Maggie Stewart, your greatest fan and Jake-wanna-be. bye Hi Jake I like learning how you photograph Mount Everest. It was funny how you can’t tell the team to wait while you take the picture.

Is there a specific reason why you wouldn't go full frame? Do you carry a backup to the D300? As a Nikon shooter myself I’m proud to see the Nikon name at Everest.

I love waking up each morning to see the next adventure. I am glad you mentioned the music that you put behind the footage. It allows the whole thing to come together and just for a moment it brings us to a place away from here. Tell Melissa I met her dad in one of our stores he is a proud papa!!! Thanks again.

A final DVD of all the clips and then some! This would be the next best thing to being with you. Thanks again. Nothing going on here except the Swine Flu! I second what ScottJ888 requests.

My coworkers and customers are totally blown away by the images you and the rest of the camera team have captured. You guys totally bring us there with you on the ascent of the world's highest mountain. Keep up with great photos!

This is great stuff. Not since the NatGeo film in 1996 (a year for everyone to remember)has some much great footage been available to the public. I just wish I could push it over to my iPod. Keep filming and posting, we will keep watching and wishing we were there... Be safe and climb on... Cheers!

I hope you are making some offsite backups in addition to the double external hard drive backups that you are doing at Basecamp. I didn't realize that the photographers and videographers actually leapfrog the climbers as they gather footage on the mountain. Hardcore!
