The problem with digital photography and digital audio is finding a place for all that new-found digital data. In the beginning, there wasn't much of a choice. If you ran out of memory cards, you were stuck. Enter Woverine Data. Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to take a look at the Wolverine MVP 9000 portable storage unit. Then, last month, Wolverine released the Wolverine ESP 5000. When I first started researching the Wolverines, there was a wonderful post on Amazon.com that referred to the MVP as a "Swiss Army Knife" of sorts, which mirrored my thoughts exactly after working with it on an extended basis. If you ever need to backup your digital photos on the road, backup your data, or relax with a video, Wolverine has couple of very nice pups indeed!

For the past 100 years much of the world market for the base of photography papers were all made by one firm, Felix Schoeller of Germany, and today they have two-thirds of the market! In this interview with Michael Szidat, of Felix Schoeller we learn of the changes in the paper industry as photography enters the digital age, but don't worry if you never heard of them, because while they create the paper bases for paper that might just come in Yellow, Greeen, Orange and other colored boxes, their name is never on the package. In the past, manufacturers coated their own light sensitive silver emulsions on the paper supplied by Felix Schoeller, but as any good OEM manufacturer would tell you, it's all behind the scenes!
