Based on a ton of requests from our last video post Chase Jarvis TECH: Packing Photography Gear, we’ve put together a quick shopping list highlighting all the items in the videos: bags, cases, cameras, lenses, accessories. Tis the season, eh? But here’s the hook: While there’s nothing commercial about this blog at all, no ads, no banners, no ad words, no nothin’, we’ve just quickly created an Amazon Affiliate account specifically for this post so that 100% of the kickback (sometimes up to 5% of each item) will go to charity. This certainly won’t change the world, but I’d promised a list of items from the vid, and it took an extra 5 minutes to consider the charitable option. Specifically, we’ll use any Amazon credit whether it’s $20, $200, or $2000 to purchase toys, clothes, or other items hot on the list of people in need, and deliver them to a local shelter here in Seattle on December 27th. That said, if you’re planning to buy some photo gear prior to year end, or you know someone who is, you might consider shopping from this list below. There are items from $7 to, well, let’s say a lot more expensive – something for everyone on your list. Thanks and happy shopping!

Lastly, if for some reason you’re not interested in supporting this charity endeavor, but still would like options to purchase, visit Amazon directly. Conversely, if the big box store is not your answer, then I’d happily recommend buying directly from Glazer’s Camera in Seattle. They’re great people and they’ll ship to you if they’ve got whatever you’re after in stock.
Great job, beautiful…
