This is not the proper way to carry your camera. Especially one as expensive as this one is.
I treat my cameras like a woman. While they’re with me they’re very special and I take every precaution to protect them. So I always use a strap and carry the camera over the neck. That way you can’t drop it, or have it ripped out of your hand and gone, baby, gone. Also with the camera hanging from the neck it’s always ready to use.
Of course when they get old and unreliable I dump them faster than you can say: “You’re outa‘ here!”

I have two favorite photographer books that I sit down with on a regular basis and just browse. It’s like getting the batteries charged. I always come away refreshed and ready to start taking photos.
The first of the two books is Sam Abell’s The Life of a Photograph. A long time National Geographic photographer Sam has put in one book his way of seeing a photograph. What gives life to a photograph?
This video isn’t a replacement for the book but it is a terrific addition to it.
The Fire-Rescue fellow seemed more concerned with me and my camera than he was for the injured woman. After taking this photo we both did a stare-down as I walked by.
He completely ignored the injured woman as he stared me down.
Photographers – we’re really dangerous people.
If he thought he was intimidating me he was just not very good at it.
First thing is the wrap-around Sun glasses. If you want to intimidate anyone you need eye contact. Sun glasses ruin the entire intimidating thing.
Second: I was intimidated by the best in the world – Marine Corps Drill Instructors.
Now those guys are scary.

As an example of Google doing right only after the photographer provided additional proof of ownership. To top it off the photographer didn’t have to reply to Google at all and if Google hadn’t remove the photos then they too would have been liable.
