It's Senior Time (and I'm not talking about those with white hair)!
I had a blast shooting these two seniors. Brendan and Lauren showed up fully-prepared to do get the job done. It was hotter than Hades outside, and the humidity was hovering around 90%, but these guys didn't even break a sweat...no shiny faces here! They are my Senior Ambassadors!
Next stop...some studio work, and maybe some more outdoorsy stuff. You never know where my camera will take me.

The Search for Ulitmate Camera Bag Complete
So, my red leather Jill-e was new and fun last year. But that was soooo last year. I have looked, and fell in love with the Belle bag from Epiphanie Bags (www.epiphaniebags.com). And, I really like Kelly Moore's bags, too (http://www.kellymoorebag.com/) . Both of these designers are actual women photographers who appreciate something other than a big black bag to carry their gear.
JoTotes are nice, but rather plain. The only problem I have with the Ephiphanie and Kelly Moore bags is their price tag...$265 for faux leather (vinyl, which usually contains lead that wouldn't pass CA Prop 65). Jill-e's bags are the same price, but a actual leather. Jototes are around $80, but they're also vinyl. So, after searching high and low, I figured it out...
I used my brown distressed and tapestry Wendy Bellissimo messenger diaper bag. There is nothing on this bag that say "baby." I bought Domke camera bag inserts and a 19" Domke protective cloth/wrap from my fave camera store B&H (http://www.bhphoto.com/), and went to Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/) and found some fabulous lens pouches made by Tracey Joy to go with my funky camera strap (http://www.myfunkycamera.com/). PERFECT!!!!!!!!
Inside my "new" bag I can fit: My Canon 50D (http://www.canon.com/) with Canon 28-135mm attached, Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 IS USM + case (weighing in at over 4lbs), Sigma 28-70mm lens, Canon 580 EX ll Speedlite with Sto-fen Omni-Bounce diffuser, battery charger with 2 additional betteries, a small box of AA betteries, 2 lens filters, Canon off-camera shoe cord and other misc items (lens pens, biz cards, cords of all kinds).
Life is good. I'm ready to shoot in style!!!
