My hubby spoils me

He is always at looking at what he can buy me next!

On Friday hubby asks me if I would like a bag for my camera gear
because he was watching me trying to re-arrange my gear between 3 or 4
bags.
So, on the spur of the moment, we set off for the camera store 30
minutes away.
I was looking at 2 Lowerpro bags, (I love bag packs and hate carrying
things in my hand).
The manager of the shop knows me, so I call him over. He knows what
gear I have, so he tells me, pointing to the mini trekker for £109,
"For your gear, you will need this one. Your gear won't fit in the
other one. Plus it's small enough for carry-on on planes." I LOVE the
sound of that. If I ever go on a plane I am NOT parting with my camera
gear!
Hubby doesn't batt an eyelid and walks to the counter with it, along
with a monopod!


It's just a quick snap but it shows how much I have in there. I've
written on the spaces what I had to take out of the bag to take the
shot.

Oh well. it was worth a shot :rolleyes: I can't complain though. Carla went out yardsaling for camera gear the other weekend and brought home 2 boxes worth of stuff. Unfortunately nothing I could use but, out of trading and selling some of it, I've now got a "new" spotmeter, a Mamiya M645, and I was also able to stock up on chemicals and paper :D

That's something that I do with old computers, turn them into servers!

Awesome array of new gear Alison!

All the computer gear is way beyond me! But I know about the camera bag and you are a lucky lady. Congrats on the new stuff and having some one that is very sensitive to your wants and needs.

Every time I see a tricked out PC I think the same thing, All that great stuff, and it's all being wasted on Windows.

Oh well.
