The Ultimate Photo-Bag

photographers had parked outside his store in Paso Robles.
This is definitely what I would call the ultimate photo bag - no
excuses for leaving anything behind!

Very nice statement as a pro - the restored truck is an eye catcher.
Confident too - no phone number!
(is the ph# on the back of the truck?)

No phone number.
He has a web page, however the home page is not well laid out. the
navigation is not obvious at the bottom of the page.
Here is one of his galleries; http://www.jimmyde.com/fineart1.html
In one of the shots you can see his truck is parked in front of the
store front on 12th Street in Paso Robles.

There's a couple of companies around here still using those Divco
trucks. Hard to tell what year it is since they look pretty much the
same all the way until they stopped making them in 1986.

I was just surprised to see it . I have lived in this area since 1986
and I am familiar with many of the restored classic vehicles and
hotrods around here, and this was the first time I have seen this
Divco, and I pass this spot several times each week.

On that page is a picture of a Rosenberger Dairy Divco. I still see
them driving around here making deliveries. They're not restored.
Just in constant use and maintained since they were new.

Darn you!
I just came here just now to ask a few questions, and I am also looking
for a decent camera bag!
My nym, in Japanese, means '8 6'. It refers to this:
http://www.driftinjapan.com/uploaded_images/ae86_12-797581.jpg
The model number is AE86. I Japan they're used as drift cars.
I am a car guy BIG TIME!
I also play in a band, and am looking for something unique to haul the
stuff around, and have been looking for a halfway decent Divco to do the
job!
Now look...I've started drooling again! ;p....

If you are looking for a camera bag, the first thing is to match it in
size to the camera you have and vrious lenses and other stuff you want
or need to carry. You will find that many of us have more than one bag,
since there will be times you do not want to carry everything. At those
times a belt pack of some type will be more than adequate.
If you haven't got a bag before, it is probably best to go to your
local photography shop and see what they have. Compare types. You will
find backpacks, shoulder bags, slingbags and belt packs, they all serve
different purposes.
Remember, if you get something too big and load it up with everything
you own, you are more likely to leave it at home or in the car and not
have that other lens or flash handy when you really need it.
Good hunting.

Maybe he would let you get some interior shots. I like the artwork,
too, for the same reason you do.
The reason it didn't look finished to me is that the name didn't look
complete, like he was going to add a last name or maybe contact
information. It probably matches his whole brand -- stationery,
business cards, delivery boxes, etc. The design is simple enough to be
easily embroidered on a shirt.
I could see some potential in a Divco. Some of them had refrigerated
bodies which would be well insulated to protect camera gear from heat
and cold. I would want to clear out everything in the cab, though, and
put real seats in it. Not that little folding seat that the milkman
used. And I probably would want a rear-view camera. Might be around
little kids a lot.
This would be great for wedding shoots.

Well we are a small town, so I plan to drop in on him and let him know
his name has been spread globally. He now owes it to all of us to
expose that interior :-)

Yes, if you look at the 3rd shot in the set you can see his storefront
on the right where the signature logo is repeated.
On close inspection you will see the finish of the art work in the
signature logo is exceptional. The understated effect is far a more
powerful means of attracting attention and oozes quality. In my
opinion very clever.
It drove me to see if he had a web presence.

He seems to have his hands full with studio work, weddings, model
shoots and his artwork, so better than hauling everything around in the
back of an SUV, trailer or pickup.

I was going to respond to the first post on this and mention that this
is a restored milk delivery truck, but I see you've found this out.
A similar truck delivered milk to our neighborhood. I can almost hear
that early-morning clanking noise the milkman made when he carried the
crates of bottles around.

I have a few bags, but I have more cameras than bags!
I have one one-camera bag for 3 cameras, and two two-camera bags when I
want to take more than one camera.
I get them at the Salvation Army for <$5. If you're patient, you can find
some good stuff there. I even bought a camera kit with a Ricoh KR-5
'student camera' (really good images and a great, forgiving camera to use
for 'snapshots'), lenses and flash for $15!

Found on on eBay, $5000. Not in bad shape, either.

Remember, "sometimes less is more" it is nice to have access to all

On a hike, or in a museum, or even street photography too much can be a

That's not a photo bag, it's a mobile portrait studio! ;-)

There are words that have a definition in BrE that is different from
the AmE definition, but I use them with the AmE definition. Context
should tell you that.
For example, the British use "surgery" as a noun to describe a
doctor's office or a MP's office. We use it as a noun to describe the
room in a hospital where operations are performed. I would not use
the word with BrE meaning unless it was clear from context that I was
using it in the BrE sense.
Sig lines, if formatted correctly, will not appear where the post
content is quoted unless the quoter is using that dog's breakfast
called "Google Groups".

I usually pick two cameras and two lenses for each, or two cameras, one
with two lenses ('normal' 50mm and a zoom) and another with a fixed lens
like a 135.
If I pick the two Minoltas, the lenses are interchangable.
A lot of the time I take two film and the Olympus so I don't have to wait
for processing (A whole HOUR!!!)
Savageduck
Boy! you really load up!!
I prefer to go lighter.
Once I leave my vehicle I am down to a D300 with one or two (3 if I
want to add to my selection confusion) lenses, depending on what I have
in mind.
Add to that a few field essentials and I am done.
Lighten your load and you will be a lot more comfortable taking photographs.

I have had, at various times, both moles and armadillos in my yard.
Both have surprised me on inspection. Moles are much smaller than
they are shown my grandchildren's copy of "Wind In The Willows". Tiny
little things to do so much damage. Armadillos are much more fleet of
foot than they look like they could be. Hard to photograph because
they can move so fast.

The different camera/lens combinations have different characteristics.
I only carry this much when it's a specific goal to get some good photos.
For 'everyday' I usually just take the SRT101 or one of the Ricohs with 2
lenses, in a small bag, for the times I just happen to see something in
my travels. Those two are very easy to compose, quick and easy metering
and easy to grab lens rings. When I'm actually going to think about what
I'm shooting I grab another like the EOS A2 or the 8008.

There's at least one priceless mislabeled photo, in the "Bridal

What? There's something wrong with a blue-white-grey sweater against a
sky blue BG, a goofy grin, bad pose and lights reflected in the eyes?
And really, shouldn't you grab your pregnant wife's ass in a portrait?
After all they are half nude.
The Anglican priest in shorts with the kid choking mommy is actually
great as long as you have some sense of humour.

That's fine but the shadows from the eyeglasses on his crossed eyes look
like some sort of cruel makeup malfunction. Hard to notice through the
reflections though.

She is probably with him, because he is the son of a former member of
the SAVAK who managed to get a fortune out of Iran after the fall of
the Shah.
She would probably, "vanish" if she even hinted at leaving him.

Personally, I think that pregnancy shots only work well when they're

They can be great if the photographer has some artistic sense & knows

Savageduck
Why would that be obvious?
I hold by my opinion even with grandchildren, nephews, nieces &
cousins, sentimental portraiture is artificial and nauseating. However
unposed spontaneous shots are a far more valuable record of the
character of the soon to be insufferable pre-pubescent.

This is partly why the "pj" wedding approach has caught on over the last
10 or 20 years. While the de rigeur formals are taken, the photographer
also shoots informally to capture more spontaneous moments.
As for myself, I see nothing artificial and nauseating about formal
photos (as long as they don't take cliche's _too_ far). They are part
of the whole of photography and culture.
Not all pre-pubescent kids are insufferable. Some wait until they're 25
or 55 to reach that state.
Alan Browne
Close enough. I was really referring to the notion that people in the
Appalachian region and surrounding states such as Arkansas have somewhat
confused family trees.
Thanks for the geography tip though. I always think of Arkansas as
further east than that.
But as to comparative geographic knowledge I will blow away 9 out of 10
Americans. And so would a 10 year old in Poland or S. Korea.
Still, the American practice of writing the date in month-day-year order
would only hilariously stupid if it weren't for the fact that it leaks
out of the US to confuse everyone else.

YYYY-MM-DD actually (ISO 8601). It's not strange at all. The US

I have adopted the habit of writing the date as, say 31 May 2009.

In writing, I try to do the same, but with the natural significance order:
2009-May-31
With computer directories, I use the numeric month:
..\2009\05\31\..
..\2009-05-31\..
so that they are naturally date-sorted.

Ditto. Every time I do a shoot, it goes into a folder named
YYYY-MM-DD-Subject_description. It's not the most sophisticated system
in the world, but it's been working well for me for the last 6-7 years.
Oh, & I label my DVD-R backups the same way. I've just had occasion to
dig out some photos for someone from 2003, & it took me about 10 minutes
to find the right backup disk in the case.
