First in my series of catch-up posts is Raquel and Chris. They had a beautiful ceremony and reception in Pembroke Pines in April. Raquel was very excited to to have me shooting and I hope that I was able to meet her high expectations.

I’ve been lazier than usual around here, so it’s time to clean up and catch up. I have plenty of images to post from recent shoots, including my first maternity session. So turn around, stick it out, even white boys have to shout: I’ll be back.

I humbly offer the “T-Strap”, a method of joining two R-Straps together. We loop the straps into each other so that the assembly resembles a gun shoulder holster. The padded portion of the R-Straps are fixed to each other in the back between the shoulder blades. The bottom of each strap (where the camera hangs) may be connected to the belt. Pictures are probably helpful at this point.

Since I’ve steadily migrated to shooting with prime lenses, I will most often shoot with two cameras, wide and fast on one, mid-to-long and fast on the other. A comfortable two-strap system has been my holy grail. I want a setup that is quick to manipulate and has good weight distribution. I also want it to be as small as possible and not interfere with clothing.
