Versatile, lightweight, and sets up in a pinch.

 

Lowepro Tahoe BP 150 backpack – $69.95

Stellar deal for a camera backpack that carries a tablet.

Pring’s Photographer’s Miscellany book – $10

A fun little book that makes for the best photo nerd fodder.

I recently had the opportunity to spend a few days in the wilderness making photographs in the Royal Basin area of Olympic National Park. It was truly stunning and a reminder of what a beautiful state Washington is. Below, I’ve created a short gallery of digital iPhone images. Check back soon for a new post featuring scans of instant prints I made with a Fujifilm Instax 210 – prints that are part of my ongoing instant print series on the Olympic Peninsula.
