Add a point of interest

CLEVELAND, OH — I was recently in the Arcade with my point and shoot camera in my pocket. Realizing I didn’t have any current pictures of this historic building, I decided to spend a couple minutes taking some shots. On looking at the shoot later on, I realized that my first shot was so typical of what many beginners would likely do….walk in the front door, pull out a camera and try to take as much in as possible with one shot. Unfortunately, from my point of view, while it’s a good shot from the point of symmetry, it doesn’t […]

A paper shower – no really, it’s a great way to clean up

[…]packed in individual, tear-open foil packs that are small enough to fit into your shirt pocket.   I know people who’ve tried to use moist towelettes intended for cleaning your hands after a messy meal, but these are so small and so highly scented that you end up smelling like a lemon. Even more importantly, they aren’t big enough for a whole body wash, and the sticky feeling stays on your skin.  Enter the Paper Shower.  Tearing open the separate sleeves for the moist and dry towels, I was immediately impressed with the size of the towels. These were bigger than […]

Product Review – Travelpro Crew 8

[…]wires outside the pack while keeping your MP3 player tucked safely inside.  An expandable mesh pocket on the front of the carrying strap enables you to keep your phone easily accessible. When opening any zippered compartment, it’s nice to notice that all the fold out flaps have fabric hinges to prevent your belongings from falling to the floor should you release your grip. A pullout mesh pocket is also handy for that bottle of water you bought to bring on board. In the main compartment, there is a folder divider to separate your magazines, file folders, etc.  The nice part […]

The Why Café – a book review

[…]“little books.”  You know the kind – 100 to 200 pages and small enough to stick in a jacket pocket.  I like knowing that by the end of the trip, for sure I’ll have been able to finish the book. When I traveled from Cleveland to Columbus this week for the Ohio State Spring Football Game, the book I took was The Why Café. “The Inspiring #1 Bestseller” was written across the top of the book jacket. Already it was pulling me in. I regularly look for inspirational books – just to keep me from getting too comfortable in my […]

Briggs & Reilly BRX Excursion Field Bag – product review

[…]computer charger, cords, WiFi access point, hard drives, or whatever else. In the outside access pocket, you’ll find a padded pocket for phone or camera as well as pen/pencil loops and a business card slot, big enough to carry a week’s supply. On the outside flap, there is one more zippered pocket, useful if you don’t want to open the whole bag. This zipper is water-resistant as well, so no more soaking wet plane boarding passes. The flap is held in place with two quick release clips. The strap is long enough for the tallest traveler but adjusts down to […]

Made of 85% polyester/13% nylon/2% spandex. And slacks too As a perfect complement to the coat, I also pickedup a pair of their FlatFront Denim Pants. Available in denim and dark denim, these are somecomfortable, smart-looking slacks. With just a hint of Lycra in the fabric anda hidden, stretch waistband, these slacks just fit great, day after day. I gotthe darker denim ones, and they don’t show dirt the way my khaki pants do. Evenon two-week […]

Possibly the best work pants on the market

[…]multi-pocketed pants and these are no exception. On a couple recent photo shoots, I loved all the pockets and pouches – ten in all.  Many were large enough for photo lenses & meters so I could leave my heavy photo vest in the truck.  The four largest have flaps that can be velcroed inside to make them easy to reach into while you’re working, but then they pull outside and cover the contents when you’re not. (Watch the video to see them in action.) Genius! Tree-climbers probably know better than most what kind of stretch you need in a pair […]

Red, rugged and ready camera, the Pentax Q10

[…]and “unobtrusive” are two operable words. This Pentax Q10 fit in my coat’s hand-warmer pocket and was unnoticeable most of the time. The camera is palm-sized but it’s built like a tank. Everyone that saw it was immediately impressed with how solid it feels, despite its diminutive scale. The pop-up flash is safety tucked away, but rises as high as any concealed flash I’ve ever used and that prevents red-eye. There is also a hot-shoe for a dedicated flash if that’s your style. This is the first camera I’ve used that uses Adobe’s DNG (digital negative) format, which I think […]

The tale of three tactical lights and which to buy

[…]Today, I want to compare three top choices. If you read my recent review of the Infray 1102 pocket flashlight, you know that I was quite impressed with their build quality and light output.  So, I decided to look at their two entries in the tactical flashlight field.  Both their SD-05 and SD-06 cost less and outperform the J5 V1-Pro light.  The J5 has been the leading Amazon seller for compact tactical lights for some time, but the Infray lights offer better specs and better performance for less money. Price savings on tactical flashlights With the price of tactical flashlights […]

Two simple ways to make travel more pleasurable

[…]these 100% polyester robes can be machine or sink-washed and dry quickly.  They come with two pockets and two belt loops. If you enjoy a robe, you’ve got to check these out. Infinitely adjustable travel pillow I’ve used a few travel pillows in the past and was never a big fan of most. That changed with my first use of the Cat Nap Transit Pillow from Eagle Creek. First of all, it’s a generous size.  Inflated it’s 12.5” x 16.5” x 5.5”.  Deflated it’s only 6” x 8” x1”. It weighs just 8 ounces and is available in two colors […]

UVSkinz is the safest way to enjoy the sun

[…]Hoodie with me and they really did the job. The board shorts are generously cut and come with one pocket with flap on the side of the right leg.  The waist has a front drawstring tab for slight size adjustment. There’s no inside liner so it’s a free, comfortable fit.  The shorts are substantial but lightweight microfibre, chlorine and salt water resistant, and dry quickly after use. The beach hoodie was just the most comfortable shirt in my bag. Wearing it by itself, or over another shirt, I got all sorts of use out of it on this trip. When […]

Agua Storm-proof Quick-draw Sling Bag 60 – for whatever nature sends your way

[…](cellphone, notepad, pen, etc.); a slot for your computer or tablet (up to 13.5”); and a hidden pocket for a power pack – which can be accessed via a flip-top panel on the exterior of the bag.  (Mine was a pre-production sample and did not have the actual connections attached to the bag, but I can see how it will work and it will be handy to have.) Outside the bag are two non-removable straps to securely fasten a compact tripod. I wish they had used quick-connect buckles instead, but the straps do seem to work fine. The bottom of […]
