for photographers!
this post is for professional photographers!
First, I am very proud to be launching a new adventure! There has been a lot of work to go into this one. AND I must say, I’m not alone. I’ll be making a special announcement about that in the near future, as I want to tell you how this is really different.
I believe there is a need for truly custom album design. A resource that photographers can go to for help to design their own albums, have a custom design created for them, or have someone who can become ‘their designer’. I’ve been asked to do this by a number of photogs – which is so nice! So it’s finally here! Just a little seed right now, but there is so much in the works – you’ll want to stop back a lot! To keep up on the progress please sign up for the Newsletter. And if you know someone who needs design work, please send them this way….

one reason i hated the idea of ‘special lighting’ was the thought of lugging all that junk around. and i must say the last few weddings, while the lighting has been great, lugging the gear stinks!
i remembered Zack saying he uses a golf bag to travel on an airplane with all his lighting gear. this made be think of the little bag i used to have for taking a few clubs to play a par 3, and thought that it MIGHT work for the gear.
Look at this little bag i found!!!
no, i’m not going golfing – it’s for lighting gear! BUT it is a golf bag. i found this one at Dick’s Sporting Goods, but you could get one anywhere that has golf stuff. it’s called a ‘sunday bag’, and they are usually used to carry a few clubs when you play a par 3 course. it’s the PERFECT size for the avenger light stand and 60″ umbrella i carry. the umbrella can even be put on the outside of the bag, the way a regular golf bag holds an umbrella. this is GREAT, but the BEST part is that there is a little pouch on the side that is perfect for a 580ex flash, the adapter, 2 pocket wizards an batteries! and there are lots of little pouches that usually hold a golf ball or two that you can put ‘stuff’ in, like biz cards. AND you could put pens where the tees would usually go. ALL THIS FOR ONLY ABOUT $20!!!!! check out your local sporting goods store and ask for a SUNDAY BAG they are perfect for the lighting stuff, as you can see!
by the way, i used to play a mean round of golf, and was the medalist on my high school golf team for 4 years. i played about 36-45 holes a day (i was a kid – i had nothing else to do!) of course now, i just play ‘driving range’. much more fun!
and only takes 1/2 hour.ciao for now!

That’s an awesome tip on the bag, Robin.
And congrats on your new venture!
That’s such a good idea. You should submit it to Dan’s photo tips blog. I was just thinking about a bag this morning. Did a graduation class picture and was lugging stuff all around because my “assistant” has to take it easy and can’t carry stuff. It’s great that you can put PWs in there and all the cords and everything. I bet you could probably squeeze a mono- or tripod in there, too. Not sure the ABs will fit, though.
But with the Memorial Tournament going on here right now, I’m sure everything’s sold out.
