Well, they did give us the filters (and loan me the Eurovan.)  I consider
them sponsors.  In return they got to use my photos (the majority of the
shots for the article) and a some of Tobin's photos.

Pretty good shot of me at the mosquito sign, eh?  After we took that
picture, we were swarmed my more mosquitos than I've ever seen in my life.
I can now believe that those suckers can bleed a bear dry.

Everyone should pick up a copy of this.  It's a great article (IMHO :-).
