Doggies!
Chasing That Feeling
We adopted two pooches over the weekend, they're originally from a shelter over in Montreal, Canada. The pups are a Shih Zu/Maltese mix, 9 months old, and weigh in at 7 & 9 lbs (3.14 & 4 kg). They're remarkably energetic and have succeeded in freaking out the cat. It's interesting to watch since they'll gang up on her, one going around the left side while the other circles around the right. Plus they're just as fast as the cat, so her only advantage is her ability to go vertical. So now my bedroom is the designated cat zone, with a baby gate to prevent raids, while the office is the DMZ.A Camera Made Of Wood
Anywho, Olympus just announced the camera today and they’re tightlipped about a release date. Source Via Gizmodo
The Leica D-Lux 3 Is Spiffy
No price or release date but it will probably be in the 700 dollar range. Full specs and info at Leica USA.
Interview With The Director Of Photography At The New York Times
I recently read this interview with New York Times Assistant Editor of Photography, Michelle McNally.
Turns out that the NYT photo department is run on Apple hardware, among other interesting facts.
Overall an interesting read.
Update: Forgot about the stupid registration login at the New York Times site. You can get around that by using a fake login provided by bugmenot.com

Camera Bags
First off we have this nice looking Kata R-103 backpack Pretty compact and you can supposedly fit a laptop in it. Kata is also known for making body armor so thats a plus.
After that we have Thinktank Bazooka Tripod Bag Seems cool. Nice level of padding, plus it has shoulder straps and its easy to remove from the bag. The president of the company was formally Lowepro’s Lead designer, so he has some credentials.
We also have the Crumpler 7 Million Nice size and its all incognito.
