Dean Mitchell

I first met Dean at the Phoenix Art Museum. His watercolor paintings are simply amazing. To master this medium will take even the most talented people a lifetime. Dean is a young man and is already painting like a master. www.deanmitchellstudio.com

Happy Holidays Print

The holiday season has always been a time to reach out and connect with friends and family. And for me, I see it as an opportunity to channel my grade school days where we made our own Christmas cards. When I sat down to do this print I gave myself one hour. With no pre-planned sketch and an idea in mind, I just started carving and hoped for the best. It took more time finding the ink, the paper and dusting off the press than it did to pull a couple of prints. There is true joy in creating and not over-thinking a piece of art. Cheers!

ThinkTank Shape Shifter Camera Bag

I have been using this bag and I find it pretty functional for most of my travel needs.  The construction and design is second to none - ThinkTank makes a great product. The pluses are that I can carry two camera bodies and a couple of lenses plus all the digital
peripheral components that go with digital photography. The big plus for me was a case for the laptop.

My original intent was to carry this pack when I went out to shoot on the street. But the reality of it is that it gets very heavy very quickly. I can strip it down and make it functional which works sometimes. A negative too is that once the lens is mounted on the camera, there is no quick store pocket. I need to break the camera down for it to fit in the bag properly.

What's your favorite camera carrying pack?
