Photo bags are like your cameras: you want the right tool for the job. Often this means having a couple different types of bags to meet the different situations you face as a photographer. In this podcast I help you get your bags together.

TDS Workshops Update
The TDS Hot Air Balloon Photography Workshop in June 2010 has lost its hot air. The organizers cancelled the event for this year. Ack! So I'm working on a different event in the same time slot. Stay tuned for more information. If you'd like to get on the waiting list for upcoming workshops, please send me email with the subject line: "TDS Workshops." Those virtual camera club members who are on the waiting list get first opportunity to register for newly announced workshops. Attendance is limited to 6 for each TDS Workshop to ensure a personalized experience.

Hi Derrick,
Sorry to be a downer, but this podcast struck me as not much more than a Lowepro advertisement. Your points about point A to point B, and on-locations bags are valid, but the title of this podcast should really be "Choosing the Right Lowepro Camera Bag." The current title is disingenuous since you didn't discuss camera bags from innovative manufacturers like Think Tank, Crumpler, or Kata.
I realize Lowepro is your sponsor, but I think you should carve out some more independence for your own credibility. I thought I was going to listen to a podcast that discussed the merits of different designs from various companies, not a run-down of Lowepro's current inventory. For a more balanced approach, take a look at Thom Hogan's rundown of his favorite bags.
I was a longtime Lowepro user (and still use a few of their bags) but switched to Think Tank, because of their non-descript designs and innovative features. I also think some Kata bags are pretty nice.
I know it's a fine line when you are trying to maintain sponsorships and keep your blog going. But don't just become an advertiser, for your own credibility. I usually enjoy your podcasts, but I found this straight up marketing on behalf of Lowepro disappointing.
Even so, since you were doing such a great job of promoting Lowepro in the podcast, I actually came to the show notes to find the links of what you were talking about, but they weren't there.
Regards,
Sterling
