I recently discovered a breakthrough in camera carrying systems called the Cotton Carrier (Thank you Andy Cotton) and I wanted to share it with everyone who visits my site. It's a vest system that allows you to take the weight off of your neck and also keeps cameras from flopping around on clumsy straps. I've tested it on some shoots now and I love it. I've got a few weddings coming up right after New Year's and i'm excited to field test the system in that arena. My weddings are very long due to the documentary nature of my shooting, and after 12 hours with a typical camera strap, your neck and shoulders are ready to bail out.
I also have some traveling coming up this year, some urban, some more rural. I'm excited to see how the system feels in different environments. The Cotton Carrier folds down to almost nothing and fits nicely inside my Think Tank Airport International rolling case.
I would also like to acknowledge Karl Grobl where I first heard about the Cotton Carrier. He is a traveling photojournalist who has a wealth of knowledge and information on everything from how to pack for trips to how to travel in general. He does a lot of work for humanitarian organizations all over the world.
