May 24, 2017 Vanguard Alta Fly Rolling Camera Bags (48T) Review

This article was originally published in Photo News Canada and is republished here by permission. One of the most daunting things to do as a photographer is to travel with your expensive gear. There have been moments that I carried a bag of gear worth more than the car that dropped me off at the […] [Read more...]

March 8, 2017 SureFire FirePak Mobile Light Review

  These days I am becoming a photography minority. Why? Because I rarely use my phone to take photos or videos. I have tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of photography equipment that I perversely insist on using to take photos and videos with. Research shows that I am definitely in the minority, however, with […] [Read more...]

February 3, 2017 Vanguard Heralder 51T Rolling Backpack Review

Vanguard Heralder 51T Review A few months ago I flew to a different country to shoot a wedding. I needed to pack wedding related gear, which for me meant two DSLRs with 24-70mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom lenses along with a few primes (macro and portrait primes).

The greatest challenge for active photographers like me is to have a safe way to carry my expensive […] [Read more...]

December 30, 2016 Peak Design Slide Summit Edition Review

I’ll freely confess to having a bit of hate (no love) relationship with the standard camera straps that come with new cameras.  I’ve purchased no less than six new cameras in the past four years, and you can find the strap for each of them still in the original box with the plastic still around […] [Read more...]

December 7, 2016 Peak Design CapturePro Review

Part of what I do as a reviewer is connect with different brands.  I enjoy the process of building a relationship and getting a sense of a company.  When I began a new partnership with Simons Camera (a retailer in Quebec) I was asked if I had ever reviewed anything from Peak Design.  I hadn’t, […] [Read more...]
