Crumpler "Industry Disgrace" Camera Strap
If you're like me, one of those "must have" things you lug around is a DSLR. Sure, they're bulky and don't exactly fit with the "go light" all-day hike, but it takes a rather killer hike before I'll ditch the DSLR for pocketable point n' shoot.
I just bought one of these straps for my 5D Mark II. It's wider and definitely not demure, but having a DSLR and zoom lens hanging on your neck with this strap is much more comfortable. I've used Crumpler products for years since I first came across the edgy Australian start up at a Macworld here in SF many years ago and have been a happy owner of many of their messenger bags, backpacks, and camera bags.
Various designs:
- Pixel Camo Brown Orange - $40
- Pixel Camo Grey Gunmetal - $40
- Basic Black/Brown - $30
The National Parks: America's Best Idea [Blu-ray] - $71.99
Ken Burns' The National Parks: America's Best Idea is 12 hours of fascinating history about the men and women who created the national park system and how we almost lost one of our most valuable resources.
This little antidote always amuses me:
A young Teddy Roosevelt read in his local New York paper that buffalo were becoming more scarce in the American west. Wasting no time, he hopped on a train for Yellowstone. Upon arriving he spent several weeks looking for the majestic beast. He finally found one -- a lone bull -- weathering the snow in a clearing. So he promptly shot it, took it home, and mounted it on his wall.
Ironic that many years later, as President, he became one of the most important figures in creating what we now call the national parks, realizing that the truly beautiful places needed preserving, not only for their uniqueness but as protective haven for wildlife.
