New Camera Bag

I am sad to say that my old camera bag is getting close to retirement.  My dad bought it for me when I was in school in 1995–so I have used the bag for nearly 14 years!  It is old, ugly, and holey and I love it.   I even had it back in the days of film.  (Remember film?)  The bag has criss-crossed the country with me and has been overseas enough times that it probably should have its own passport.  

For months I have been looking for a bag that could replace my haggard looking sidekick when I stumbled across this bag at Calumet in Escondido.   It is a fun little tote/wheely bag from Jill E Designs.  They had a wild hot pink one which I was really tempted to get, but decided to be conservative and stick with black.   The bag holds two bodies and about four or five lenses.  I am sure with some clever packing I can get even more in there.   While it isn’t big enough to hold ALL of the gear I take to weddings, it will hold what I need to carry on the airplane with me.  It has a fun polka dot printed interior and a padded pocket for my laptop.  

So next time you see me wheeling through the airport on Sunday mornings after a big wedding, be sure to notice my cute new camera bag and not the bags under my eyes!
