Friday Feature: Warning Label Camera Bag!!

A bit of a late entry today, but I have been quite tired, sleepy, fuzzy-brained and unmotivated today... that's what working night shift two days on a row can do to you! But after dinner, I got a bit of a brainwave for a Friday Feature!

As you all already know, I love bags of all sorts and kinds, and have quite a collection, and since I started with my love for photography, I've been looking for THE camera bag to tot around all my gear in style. I have three camera bags already, one of them the Rocky Van Gory camera bag that Brooke & Rhiannon collaborated on, and this one, custom made from scratch by Jamie from Warning Label Creations for me!

I discovered the Ghastlies fabric through either Jamie herself or my taste twin, Deb; and completely fell in love with it, and I knew I needed the pink fabric for this bag! The bag has zipper closure, padded dividers and an adjustable strap, so the bag can be worn as a messenger bag or as a shoulder bag.

It fits my camera, my kit lens, my lensbaby, extra memory cards, extra battery, charger, lenspens, mobile, wallet and any other little every day extras I carry! I used it all the time in my trip to Zurich, and it's an awesome bag to take around, doesn't look like a camera bag, and it's super cute, so it's an amazing bag to be added to my collection!

Friday's Photography Gear!

While I enjoy a lovely Vanilla Latte Macchiato, I want to show off my latest piece of handmade stash for my photography gear!


After Gaurav got me a Lensbaby for my birthday, I knew I needed a new pouch to protect it, and as I did with my other lenses, I knew it'd be a MsChrista's lens cozy!






Christa is a real dear, cause she always keeps some of my favourite fabric aside to make my lens cozies all to match!




And this time, she also made me a super cute matching pouch to carry my charger, lenspen, extra cards and spare batteries all together!




Have a great weekend everyone!

Shopping Handmade for my photography gear: Warning Label tripod bag!

Hello everyone!


Monday is here, and though it is not the beginning of a work week for me, cause I've worked this weekend, it has been a very lazy and not particularly motivating day for me, even if I got some nice packages in the mail.


After some pondering over a cup of coffee I realized I should work on showing off how to keep buying handmade when it comes to photography gear! And no, I'm not talking about cameras or lenses made out of cardboard!


You all know already I'm always gonna try to look for a handmade alternative, and after getting my tripod, I started a search for a tripod bag on Etsy, and I have to say, it's sad to see how very little artisans & crafters have photography related gear and accessories, and how most of the camera bags are all the same basic style, and even if fabric wise can be female photographer oriented, none of them are different from your usual messenger-style-camera-bag. Of course, I got my own different kind bag with my Rocky Van Gory camera bag.




That got me thinking, and the obvious solution presented itself: why not ask Jamie? Jamie is the brains & hands behind Warning Label Accessories, and she's always ready for a challenge! She's made me custom bags, custom strap covers, and all sort of things, and this time she didn't disappoint me, and was all willing to take on the challenge!


We went for a drawstring closing bag, with an adjustable strap, that can be worn across messenger style to take it around with me more comfortably, and of course, I chose a fabric that would make it sure I wouldn't miss it anywhere, pink with skulls! ;)




Here you can see my amazing tripod bag! Isn't it awesome?






Even the bf was considering getting one made for himself! ;)
