Still Life | Luray, Virginia, USA | Sept 2008

I first saw the BlackRapid R-Strap on David duChemin’s Pixelated Image blog. I had been looking for a better camera strap for awhile (much like my eternal quest for the perfect bag for travel, which may not exist), and after watching the videos and reading the reviews and raves about the R-Strap, I decided to check it out.

I understand that everyone shoots differently using their own particular methods for carrying and using their equipment. But for me, it is spot on: after a couple of months of using it I’ve found it fits the way I shoot and lets me forget about my camera and focus on simply watching, looking, thinking and feeling.
