Thanks!  I had a wonderful trip, as usual.  In spite of being warned 
numerous times that gangs and robbers had taken over the highways of 
Guatemala and I'd be sure to lose my equipment, I only met friendly, 
wonderful people who welcomed me into their houses to take photos.

The Upstrap is very "grippy" but it depends on the weight of the 
camera to grip.  So, if you lift the camera up, you can easily 
"shrug" it off of your shoulder to position it elsewhere.  You have 
to be careful if you have long hair because it will grip your hair, 
too!  I usually have mine under a Tilley, though ;-)
