Posted to fit with Mara's thread of a photo Michael took during their NYC photo walk - http://365project.org/mara19500/365/2013-11-03
This photo, posted at @jyokota 's request and with Michael's ( @michaelelliott ) permission gives you a behind the scene look at what it might have looked like when Mara's photo was taken.
And there I am, with the diaper bag I use as a camera bag, but with tripod sticking out. Thanks, @Taffy, for documenting this moment, and thanks @michaelelliott for our memorable photo walk #1 (implying there will be more to come).
Thanks, Taffy, I even have one of us 2 shooting, taken by Angela. I wasn't sure whether to post it...But I think that now that you opened up the breach, I can follow suit.
Nice to see Junko !! Nice camera bag:). It probably holds a lot and is really more handy than mine. Mine only holds the camera and is not fancy colors either. @jyokota
Nice concept - often I don't realize what is going on around me when I am focused on a shot. Did they know you were taking this at the time you took it?
@kimshots Kim, I don't think so, but they knew afterwards. I didn't want to interrupt either of them, so just took the shot from the POV you see -- behind them both.
@michaelelliott -- It's definitely a diaper bag. It's a LeSport Sac I found online and ordered because it lies completely flat to go inside the suitcase when traveling, pops open when you are at your destination, has pockets lining the inside to hold lenses, flash, external drives and such, has thermal lined baby bottle holders to put your coffee on one end and water bottle on other end, zippered and no zip outside bag for your Metro card and quick access stuff, and zippered inside pocket for your wallet and stuff. And, I swapped the strap that came with it for a padded one! And, it's big enough to hold computer and iPad. Of course, it's super heavy with all that in it . . . and the tripod was long so it sticks out . . . But works for me. I just ordered the Shootsac lens bag and I'm happy to report that it fits inside, giving better cushioning, and the strap of that bag loops through the stroller rings on this one and I can just remove the current strap on the diaper bag.
