[Leica] OT -- Billingham Eventer

[Mark Rabiner]

I shoot everything with a strap around my neck. Of to put it another way
I shoot nothing without a strap around my neck.
The cutting off of the oxygen supply makes me pre visualize better.
I put my bag behind me a lot so it's really up against my back.
I also do that so its less visible to people coming at me on the sidewalk.
