Camera Bag Suggestions

[Pablito]

I've cooked curry goat myself. One of the "secrets" is cooking the goat a long time, until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

It's also good to let the curry sit overnight before eating. The flavors become more complex.

You can go to a Thai store and get premixed "Mussaman" curry paste which is refrigerated. It's almost as good as mixing curry ingredients yourself. I don't like the dry commercial Jamaican curry powders.

In Manila, I had a whole goat head, baked under coals for several days. That was delicious. The brains, with a vinegar based dip, were excellent.

If you had an Eastern European Jewish grandmother, she might have made you brains with chicken fat and grivenes. Good with raw onion.

Yes, indeed Ahmed, you hit the nail on the head. The other way to go is to cook it in wine and a little tomato sauce with lots of garlic, shadow benny (aka. recao), thyme, oregano, etc. And yes, cook it a long time and eat it the next day.

My pictures are just as good no matter what camera I use. I could use a Box Tengor and not one of my pictures would be "crappy".... So what?

Ahh, the Ken Rockwell rhetoric... Ken, is that you?


"So what?" Exactly.

You're right about Brooklyn, lots of good goat there.

A lot of Pakistani and Indian places in Manhattan sell "goat" dishes but it's actually mutton.

In Chinatown, they have Mongolian Hot Pot which is sort of like Japanese Shabu Shabu, with paper thin goat slices boiled at the table....delicious.

Had goat at a Korean place too, but I forgot what it was called. It was sort of thin strips with a lot of chile.

Will any of these work if I want to re-dye a faded Domke? 🙄

Are you kidding? CURRY?

They'll probably ALL work but you might not like the color your Domke ends up and the neighborhood dogs might be following you around with their tongues hanging out!

Domke F6 in olive canvas. Looks like Army Surplus kit, carries all you need. I have two bodies and four lenses in mine with room to spare. Perfect IMO.

I prefer khaki.

It's a Hindi word.

Surprising how dismissive some of the posts are. Bags are important. Witness the number of bags people have tried and the number they currently own and the number of times these questions get asked. Size, material, water-resistance, velcro versus silent etc etc all are of concern. Look up photo.net for good discussion if there aren't threads easily accessible here. (I am still learning how to navigate RFF which I fund much less intuitive than photo.net.) I have an Artisan and Artist 1100 (called the Evans Walker, mischievously). It has a great broad non-slip strap and with one M and two lenses, meter, film, table-top tripod and film it is very compact and light. With the hoods off I can have two Ms with 50 and 35 attached, a 90 and the above mentioned extras. A great little, very little, case.

Some people treat camera bags as important.

And some don't.

Now, I'm heading out the the grocery store, what sort of bag would be really good for some salad, fruit juice, and breakfast cereal?

Anyone who thinks bags are not important has obviously not had to work under circumstances that are taxing. I have found in the last few years that how I carry my kit has more of an impact on the pictures I take than the precise kit I am carrying. Its about speed of access, portability and profile. It matters. A lot. However, if you are strolling about taking shots slowly in a nice safe area, it matters a lot less.

I used to think the bag fettish thing was bizarre until getting to the point that I wish I could design my own bags. I have various bags for carrying various kits, or combinations. Now that I am close to having things right I can work far faster, with less fuss, more confidently and more confortably with what I want where I want it. Funnily enough that helps me take the pictures I want, when i want, how i want!

I would buy some super high tech DRY ZONE etc bag, because if your juice bottle gets broken you can drink your juice out from the bag! 300 USD well spent.

I chose my wire basket today.

It holds my fruit and vegetables, and a camera.

This is the silver model, but I think they had black paint ones also.
