Have you had any trouble...
...getting your camera bag on a plane recently? With lots of talk about bag sizes going around, we're keen to hear your thoughts. (It's either that or I pack a bag or two and try convince my boss to send me around the world)
Arriving in Vegas for another great @WPPI. I think this is my 20th WPPI. Really looking forward to this weeks' show. It's a chance to see old friends, find new ways to spend money on equipment and see some fantastic photography. I arrived with @profoto strobes, @TamronAmericas lens, @nikoncameras , @thinkTANKphoto camera cases and a small amount of clothes. It's a good thing Eddie is in our Boston studio.
