[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I went to the Yorkfest festival today to take photos for stock. I carried a Crumpler bag - the smallest one. On my shoulder was my M9 with the 35/1.4. In the bag I had my Tamrac card and battery holder with 4 extra batteries and 8 extra cards. I also had my wallet with cash for buying lunch, my cellphone, and my car keys. I've learned to travel light!!
