From a listener question on removing water from a tripod, we present a video interview with photographer RJ Wiley who invented the DRY POD WADERS.  The waders slip over your tripod legs and keep the water out!  Available from www.birdsasart.com. The Ansel Adams negatives turned out to be taken by someone's Uncle Earl - and not Ansel, despite the six month validation and confirmation.  Jim and Fred feel vindicated for being skeptical in the last podcast.
