hey it was at Stanford with Andrew Grove of Intel fame…. All this Stanford talk had me remembering the older days….. My hint to aspiring photographers…. Find a job hauling equipment or sweeping a floor for a full time pro…. You will learn more in weeks than in years…. Sadly my friend that shot this job died in a bad car crash shortly after….. but his great attitude lives on in all that knew him…. Here is some info about Photographer Wild Bill Melton…….. N.H. Photographer “Wild Bill” Melton Dies In Car CrashMay 05, 2006By Daryl Lang Photographer Bill Melton, a Louisiana-born world traveler who ran a studio in Manchester, N.H., under the name Wild Bill, died Wednesday at age 53.Melton, who lived just outside of Boston, died as a result of a traffic accident, according to the Union Leader newspaper in Manchester.Melton specialized in advertising and travel photography, and visited countries around the world for his clients.

I wanted to toss this back out to see if others had opinions on bags to help all of us make a better decission.. or at least not a horrible one… Comments on the original post… https://plus.google.com/u/0/108542426628002931624/posts/Z7pWKGBr6Kq Thanks all… post up what you carry and why you like or hate it…. Reshared post from +Brent Burzycki What I have been carrying lately What do you carry and why? The life long quest for a bag that work for all situations is probably one of the harder things photographers need to do… Shove it into a sling style bag, dedicate it all to a backpack solution? Or just take the camera and some cards and go out…. What do you do? Here is what I am using lately: I had just bought this bag – pretty much just for this outing (Air Show) and other smaller jaunts I will be taking (Photowalks). It is really compact and overall I really like this bag. My other bag is a monster Lowe Pro and hauling it around requires a Sherpa. This bag has a ton of very nice features for the price and some very cool hidden features that photographers will really appreciate. […]

Anyone? – I have never seen this issue – so I assume I did something horribly wrong.. View this post on Google+

See the larger image for what I am carrying… The only thing it is missing in my eyes is a dedicated external water bottle holder or even better I will be exploring the ability to slide a camelback into the computer pocket (since I do not carry a computer in it) […]
