PROBLEM: As a pro photographer specializing in ‘location-based’ advertising images (which is photo-speak for shooting in-the-field instead of in-studio), I often face the challenge of shooting under conditions that do not allow for the comforts of Mac Pros and Cinema Displays to review images, download cards, or shoot direct to the hard drive. (We often have to helicopter into locations, are out in the remote without option at generator, or find ourselves in places where speed and efficiency are key.)
SOLUTION: As a solution to this problem–and in the theme of ‘do-it-yourself’–my team and I recently developed a cool, custom laptop case for addressing these needs using simple, durable, and readily-available materials. Today, we end up using this setup a fair bit and I thought that many in our community might benefit from a quick instructional video (above) highlighting how to put their own one case together for cheap. Hopefully, pro shooters find this a nice compromise for those times when you can’t get your big-boy computers on location, and amateurs find this a great solution for taking their laptop along for the ride.
Below you’ll see a couple snapshots of Scott, my pal and Digital Assitant whiz, using our case on location in Jackson Hole/Grand Targhee, WY, at an REI shoot last week…
…As well as a couple images from the shoot we were downloading and reviewing at the time.
Anyway, this thing is pretty slick and really easy to make. If you have questions, post a comment or drop a note and I’ll holler back when I have a minute. Thanks!

Before buying from anyone local I suggest visiting e-cigarette-forum.com there is tons of great information, links to suppliers, as well as lots of Coupon codes for discounts. Whatever you do DONT buy from your local Smoking Everywhere kiosk (in lots of malls all over the US.. way over priced for an inferior product) Local stores charge way more than you need to pay. Better to buy them online, or find a supplier in your area (there are e-cig suppliers all over the country)

Birds on Beale was wonderful enjoyable. It had been so good to make new friends! We would not have made it all the best way there devoid of Jim’s assist. Everybody asks me how I’d entertaining with all of the car complications, and my reply is it had been 5 hrs of doing the job within the car and meeting some truly nice people today, and since the new parts manufactured it to Memphis in time for us to position them on prior to the show, everythng was just component from the fun.
