Imageresizer.AzureReader2 doesn't work with latest Azure SDK 2.1.0.3-Collection of common programming errors

I have an ASP.NET MVC 5 application and I’ve upgraded to the latest SDK 2.1.0.3 and it seems as though ImageResizer has blown up. Are there any work arounds? Here is the details:

If you try Add-BindingRedirect and it gets you nowhere (it didn’t add the right redirect for me) you need to add the following into your Web.Config

It looks like you are missing a file from your deployment. Are you referencing Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage v2.1.0.0 and setting it to CopyLocal=true?

Within the NuGet Package Manager Console, run the following command:

PM> Add-BindingRedirect

This should enable you to use a different version of the Azure SDK that was used for the last version of ImageResizer. If you installed/upgraded Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage via NuGet, this should (but may not) have been run automatically.
