Made in his garage in Philadelphia. Back in the day he ran a little ad in NPPA News photographer Magazine and I think I paid 40 bucks for the thing. At the time it was the only bag that was designed for photojournalist. Now I have Think Tank and it’s the only bag I use, same story. I love it because its based taking pictures on the fly which is what I do not just protecting my gear. It never screams camera gear which is a huge plus working in Washington, D.C. My back and gear are really happy. I’m looking forward to getting a “shape shifter” for the upcoming Inauguration as I’ll be out on the National Mall with the common man and I’ll need a way to get my photos back which as you know means working while carrying a laptop. Thanks for all the hard work you guys have put in and for listening to shooters on what we need.

( well maybe once! lol!). It what you do with what you have that counts and makes the photographer.
As to collecting gear….i seam to have become a Think Tank bag collector! As we all know , there’s no perfect bag. You need a different bag for different assignments.

I did the fall of the wall in Berlin 20 years ago with 2 Nikon FM maybe FM2, the same equipement as James NAchtwey used in those days, I#ve met him there… and what should I say, it worked !! No, AF, AE sensors and all that stuff, and the pics were awesome… Shure, today my workhorses are build like tanks, Canon 1 DS MK III etc. But I like it to go on the streets with my old Leica M4 or M7….back to the roots
