On the Road with Miggo Bags and the Splat Flexible Mini Tripod

7 years ago

Confession: I am a bag lady. I have a closet full of them. It’s not uncommon for me to roll into work with at least one for each arm as I schlep photography gear back and forth between Brooklyn and Manhattan daily. When I’m not traveling between boroughs, I’m traveling between states for work, and when I’m lucky, sneaking out of the country for pleasure. While the space and weight-defying magical…

On Vacation with Three Cameras: Which to Use, When, and Why

8 years ago

Much like I wish I were the kind of traveler who only packed one bag, I wish I were the kind of photographer who only used one camera. Instead, I always have two or three bags and two or three cameras. Despite my best intentions, I can’t seem to go on a trip with just one of each. Even if I wear the same outfit or shoot with the same camera for three days straight—both of which have been known to…

In Korea, I became a regular at the Nikon service and repair center…

I was two months into a fifteen-month trip around the world that I had been dreaming of for quite some time and planning for a year prior to my departure. I spent more time debating which camera system to bring than anything else. I forwent my film cameras…

I was in the middle of Burma (Myanmar, if you prefer) when I told my travel partner that it had always been my dream to spend a year traveling around the world. “Would you ever do that? Spend one whole year traveling?” I asked, making conversation, as one does several days into roaming around a foreign country. “Sure,” he responded.

Taking Inventory of My Family's Cameras

8 years ago

My maternal great-grandmother’s family owned three cinemas during the Great Depression. You could say film and photography runs in my blood. Or, ran in my blood, until my grandmother’s father passed away and the ties to the cinemas were severed when they went to her brother. “The rest of the family wasn’t interested… I think there was a possible splinter, or a grudge was held,” my aunt told me.…
