Unfortunately, this just isn’t possible in many situations, and otherwise good pictures are sometimes ruined because [...]

About six years ago, my employer presented me with a laptop to use as my primary work computer. It was handed to me along with an ugly little basic black laptop bag, and soon I was carrying this bag with me to and from work every day. It wasn’t long before I abandoned that bag [...]
