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

6 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…

7 years ago

I’m fairly certain that if Peak Design’s founder, Peter Dering, and I met in a bar or a hostel while traveling, we would most certainly get along. Because I, too, have learned on my own trip around the world that “carrying a DSLR camera is a pain” in the keister. Although I’m currently grounded in New York City, my “every day” can involve anything from several hours in the office, a photography…

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

7 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…

I have lost count of how many cameras and lenses have been unintentionally dropped or damaged while traveling in a foreign country. In France, a friend accidentally dropped my 35mm point-and-shoot in the English Channel. In Laos, I thought it was a good idea to take pictures in the middle of a tubing trip down the Nam Song River. In Korea, I became a regular at the Nikon service and repair center…

Instant Prints Equal Instant Friends While Traveling

7 years ago

It was October of 2012, and I was in the middle of a 40 km trek to remote Hmong and Khmu villages outside of Luang Prabang, in Northern Laos. 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.
