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!

Can I just say what relief to find 1 who in actual fact knows what theyre referring to on the net. You absolutely discover how to bring a challenge to light and make it critical. The diet should examine this out and appreciate this side in the story. I cant feel youre not extra well-known because you definitely give the gift.
Does it really matter if these policy statements are read in Parliament or elsewhere? Why not just post them on the internet? If that is the worst thing they ever do Thailand will be in good shape.
The royalists are sure making Da Torpedo pay and making her a high profile warning to all others who want to attack them and their buddies. It is now reported that that Daranee has been convicted in the Criminal Court and fined Bt50,000 for defaming a bunch of generals and coupmakers during a red shirt rally in 2007. These were figurehead leader of the 2006 coup General Sonthi Boonyaratklin, one of PAD’s best buddy generals Saprang “I’ll die for the king” Kalayanamitr, Privy Councilor (when he’s not being PM) General Surayud Chulanont and Privy Council president and, of course, the chief coup booster and palace go-to man General Prem Tinsulanonda.
