Month 8 in Review - August
This has been a month of unexpected adventures: I ended up taking a couple of mini trips that I wasn't planning on (Abott Pass, then Hilda Creek), and also got some good scrambling in. One thing I need to find a better solution for is carrying my camera while out on those activities. Currently I use the Lowepro Toploader Zoom 45 AW and sling it around my neck. It's especially annoying for scrambling, and it seems to cut off the circulation in my neck. I've thought about carabinering it down, but that would still leave it dangling. And I know that if my camera went into my backpack, I wouldn't take nearly enough photos. So, what might be a solution? Harnesses seem tacky and constrictive.
Some stats for August:
