Sometimes I forget that one reason I started this blog, is because I am a a photographer. As a photographer, I get to meet several interesting people, like “Outlaw Rose” who was once a sheep herder. My wife and I met Outlaw Rose at a wayside near Alamo, NV by Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge. The […]

Back in September my wife and I spent a few much needed days at our favorite spot, Disneyland. On our last day, we had a call from our neighbor letting us know someone broke into our house.  It was a very long trip home. When I opened the door, the first thing I saw was a box […]

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to test the “Sling-O-Matic” by ThinkTankPhoto. It seemed to be a little bulky, and did not work well for me at conventions. Also, after a while my back started to ache. Of course, it does not help that I have a Canon 1dMark III and a 100-400, […]

I had the privilege of taking a member of ThinkTankPhoto to photo deadline room during a recent NASCAR race in Las Vegas. It was fun to watch his amazement of all the photographers using ThinkTank. But what surprised me the most was all the praise photographers have for ThinkTank. There was not one negative comment that I heard. […]

Early Morning Dew

ThinkTankPhoto’s Speed Racer 2.0

Written by Doug on January 4, 2013 — Leave a Comment

ThinkTankPhoto’s Speed Racer 2.0 . I am not sure if I need to classify this as a shoulder bag, or a waist belt/bag. It’s both! Not only that, you can use it either or and together as both. Simply put, for some jobs, this is the perfect bag. I can cram a 100-400 mm, Flash, […]

Sadly, I did not have my camera, but I did have my iPhone…. So this brings up the question, as a professional photographer, how often should you have your camera. How about a simple family outing? For this image, I did have my camera, in the car, that was up a cliff. I was just […]
