    I've heard a lot of good things about Alien Bees, especially as an entry level lighting system.

    http://www.alienbees.com/
    There's no correlation between creativity and equipment ownership. None. Zilch. Nada. Actually, as the artist gets more into his thing, and as he gets more successful, his number of tools tends to go down. He knows what works for him. Expending mental energy on stuff wastes time.

    The good thing about AB's is that you can get Balcar modifiers to expand you light shaping capibilities.

    I think that's a good question. What will be your main focus? Portraits, still life, product shots...
