In your bag 1098, Andrew Smith
Well, I know yesterday I said I would not be featuring another shot without a bag, but this one has a fairly good excuse. He has a custom baggy/strappy thingy. Check it out.

As some one who has traveled most of the world with a camera, I can definitively say less is more!  Over the past five years I have lived in the U.S. Spain and Japan.  Traveled all across Europe, Australia and south-east Asia.  It is around the practical need to travel light I built my own custom bag… or strap…just see for yourself.

I love my Fuji x100s, I have had it for over a year and dragged it all over Europe.  It’s small size and quiet shutter make it great for street shooting, or just tossing it in to a suit case and hitting the road.  With that said I have never been big on camera bags so I built this custom leather strap that has two small pockets to hold spare batteries while not cluttering my pockets.  I normally carry one spare battery and one microfiber cloth for cleaning (the screen more than the lens).  My friends have been so impressed I have made a couple for the as well, If I get enough interest I just might have to do a Kickstarter project.

Not your ordinary bag by any stretch of imagination, but definitely something refreshing in a world of heavy bags and big cameras.

Thanks for sharing your interesting strap with us, Andrew. Very cool.
Check out the links and make sure you come and comment.

Keep them coming folks, we need more submissions, so get your bag on Japancamerahunter.com. Send me a hi resolution image of the bag. Optimum size is 620×473. Please ensure there is a bag in the shot, unless you don’t use one. The more you can write about yourself the better, make it appealing and tell us a story. Oh and don’t forget your contact details (twitter, flickr, tumbler et al). Send the bag shots here. Please understand that there is a long wait now as there is a backlog of submissions. Not all make the cut, so make sure yours is funny/interesting/quirky. And please make sure the shot is of good quality, as the ones that are not do not go up.
Cheers
