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!

I think this is really true. I mean the majority of people I know that smoke, are going bald or are already bald! I think that smoking is a really nasty habit and if you cant kick it, then get yourself an electronic cigarette.
I started cancer sticks when I was just a kid. It was the biggest wrong move I’ve made. Now 20 years later I have found quitting is literally impossible. I attmpted all of the quit smoking tools but nothing did any good. Then I heard about the electric cigarette. The e-cigarette uses a nicotine liquid that has only nicotine. No toxic chemicals at all. They have literally improved my life. No more inhaling toxic substances feels awesome!
