I just got my new camera bag, a backpack style one. This is both good and bad. Most people wear backpacks these days and my messenger style bag was out of date. I am having to switch out both my messenger style bags (both my camera one and my general carry) due to back problems.
Bags are serious business to me and I tend to get attached to them. I really, really should sell my shoulder camera bag to recoup some of the cost of having to switch. I adore that bag, tho.
I don't know what to do for a second backpack. I've tried on a bunch and trying to take them off to get at a water bottle or camera makes me looks like I am fighting an invisible force or doing a slapstick routine. My new camera bag is designed to swing 'around to get at the items but I am not buying a second one and gutting it to make a regular backpack. I could, but that would be an insanely costly approach. I am keeping my small shoulder camera bag that I customized because I am never giving that bag up. I had to use pliers to 'hand sew' the patched on through all the canvas and waterproofing layers.
My smol bag I will never let go of with the large bag that I really, really should sell:
Those patches were a project. That bag is mine forever. I usually don't have much weight in it, though.
I am theoretically going on a long photoshoot tomorrow with my new bag. Getting out there and back tomorrow is going to be a thing. I really, really should stay overnight in the area if I am headed out there, but I have D&D Sunday. I can do a ten hours day, right? Probably. We'll see how this goes.
