Gordy’s Camera Strap: Love it

Call me weird, but I pretty much never use camera straps. Whether on a photo walk or a paid gig, carrying a point and shoot or my dslr, what’s most often keeping the camera at my side is the death grip I keep on it. I don’t know what it is, but I feel like […]

Review: Think Tank Retrospective 5 Camera Bag

Fuji X100 | 1/125 sec, f/2.2, ISO 2000 The Think Tank Retrospective 5 bag: Photographer tested, Shiba approved.

Well, after wanting an ultra wide angle zoom lens for months and months, I finally bought one today. I’ve been scouring around trying to find the sold-out-everywhere Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 ATX PRO DX lens for some time now, and until today was considering just going for the highly praised 12-24 f/4 from Tokina as it […]
