I’ve spent decades trudging around with a heavy load on my back. The load in question has ranged from shoulder bags to extra-large backpacks, brimming with cameras, lenses and all manner of photographic accessories.
My wife used to joke (in a deadly serious kinda way) that she felt weekends away were like tagging along on camera club outings. I was always determined to be prepared for any eventuality, to be able to take any photo opportunity in my stride.
