Straps and stuff

I've graduated from bag-aholics anon and moved on to strap-aholics.

You see, there'll be this period in your life where there doesn't seem to be one bag that'll work for you (and the honest truth is that there probably isn't a single ideal bag unless you always shoot the same stuff day-in day-out). You'll battle with it. You'll want the latest model. And just when you think you've got it all settled, suddenly you need room to fit that extra lens. Or flash. Or other accessory you wish you could've had with you.

I've come to terms with my addiction, thankfully quite early in the process.

Unfortunately, I now have the problem of straps. I got a Rapid strap and have been using that a little lately. The problem is, it's an attention grabber for when I'm not on a job and lately I've been trying to take it out more for general evening shooting and a bit of street.

I do have an Industry Disgrace from Crumpler, but that too is a bit of a stand-out piece. On the other hand, the stock strap is horrid.

I gave it a bit of thought and started going down the path of, "Oh, what if I combine R-Strap and a hand holster or something!" before realising this could all end horribly like my bag craze.

So perhaps the answer lies with simplicity. Just a simple leather strap or something along those lines.

For now though, I think I'll dig out my Industry Disgrace again.
