Three Packages

I've been waiting for some packages. UPS tracking said they were coming tomorrow, but they came a day early. Yay! Three packages next to the wall, but I saw them on the porch as I came up the driveway.

Package #1 (a book). I don't have Lightroom 2 yet, but I'm preparing for it.

Package #2 -- a black leather camera bag. I've been bag shopping for a few months. Kirk has always carried the camera bag for me when we're together. When he sees THIS one, I just might be on my own. Sheri Update: This is a Jill-e bag, medium black leather. For info, click here. Picked it up at one of my two fav online photog stores, Adorama.com (because B&H Photo doesn't carry it).

My biggest concern is the 70-200mm. In this bag, she stands nice and tall. The cover zips right over it. When mounted to the camera, it lays along the bottom of this bag.

Package #3 -- Photographers' Workshop Binder arrived! The online workshop starts on March 30 and runs 9 weeks. Sounds like fun and I'm geared up to learn something new! You can find out more about the workshop by clicking here.

The binder was tied with a pretty turquoise floral fabric, a pen, a business card, and this hand-signed note from the instructor, Karen Russell.

The front of the binder

The back of the binder.
Amen to that!

UPDATE: I returned the Jill-e camera bag. When the bag was loaded with heavy lenses, the leather would pull at the straps (which didn't seem to securely hold the bag). Maybe I had a faulty one. I don't know. While I do know other people love this camera bag, it's not for me.

  1. Ok you know my heart skipped a beat as I looked at this post! First of all, I LOVE that camera bag. You didn't say who makes it. Too cute. And the Photographers Workshop, oh my, you are going to love that class. I'm on my last 2 weeks and I wish I could just keep going....I hate to see it end. Love the binder and pen too. I loved this post!

  5. I am SO jealous!!! I covet my neighbor. :-) I have a basic camera bag (room for four lenses)... came with my camera. I don't have Lightroom (but I want it). I do have Photoshop but a very outdated version. I have Understanding Exposure - the best book I've read on photography. I wish I could take online workshop classes. I'd LOVE to expand my photography knowledge more!
