STYLING?  Since when does a serious photographer worry
about styling of a carrying bag?  I concern myself with security,
ease of access, security, comfort, and security.  A good diaper
bag, with Domke inserts takes care of all of it.  The local poseurs
may use the "Billingsgate" or other $300 bags, but I put my money
in glass.  I don't have to impress anyone with a name label.
