[photography] is holding all your gear
I have been putting off purchasing a new camera bag just like I put off purchasing a new computer-forever and for too long. I have many, many camera bags but none like this. Two of my camera bags are huge-I mean gigantic beasts and I never take them anywhere but they are full of stuff. Film camera bodies, manual focus lenses, flash brackets, Cokin filters (!!!), film rewinders and all this stuff I used to need back in the olden days.
I also have a small typical canvas field bag that is supposed to hold a camera and a couple lenses but it is such a pain the ass that when I take it on a session I am always juggling my lenses or have to set them down in the sand. Not good. And it looks like a camera bag.
So, I bit the bullet and bought one of those new hip camera bags that look like a purse. It’s funny because I’ve never even had a ‘real’ purse that looks like this but I love the idea of it. If I need to do a shoot at Legoland (Amy!!) and be low-key about being a “photographer” then this is the perfect bag to disguise all my gear. There are a few stylish camera bags on the market right now but the Ginger Epiphanie bag really suits all my requirements.
It’s faux leather, affordable and just the right size. I just ordered it so I will let you know my final critique after I receive it!
