Look what came in the mail today? A 16×20 Gallery Wrap Canvas fromZaZa Gallery…. and it’s FREE. WooHoo!!! If you like to know how I got this for free, you need to follow them on Twitter.
Now that we got the “FREE” out of the way, it’s time to tell you what I think of this canvas… Well I am freakin impressed. The color is accurate. The quality is top notch. Wow!!!! Would I use them for my brides & other clients?? Without a doubt. Are they expensive? Comparing to other company, NOT AT ALL. Looks like I will be doing some future ordering from ZaZa Gallery.
Fact: What goes around comes around. You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours. It’s not what you know, it’s who you know. Red Tape = Bull Shit. I hate people who are racist. I hate people who thinks they’re better than everyone else. Yes I am NOT in a good mood tonight.
Two years ago, William Eng and I were at the PhotoPlus Expo 2008 doing some window shopping. We both were interesting looking to buy an everyday backpack, like the Kata 3n1-20. A great bag I must say for what we wanted for. But a year later I sold it pretty much what I paid for and replaced with the Think Tank Streetwalker Pro Backpack. Not that I didnt like the Kata 3n1-20. It just didnt work for me anymore because of the Canon 70-200 f2.8L IS I have. No, not that i didnt fix, just didnt do what I wanted or prefer. So I started to look elsewhere.
Even since I got the Think Tank Airport International v2, i’ve started to like their products. But I will say that this Think Tank Streetwalker Pro is not built like the TT Airport International. If anyting I would say I was a little disappointed. But it’s a great bag. Just comparing to the quality from Airport International, it’s no match. Sorry it’s not actually a good review of the bag. Hopefully the pictures I posted below showing what it looks like inside with my equipment will help demand if it is for you or not. As you can see, it’s pretty roomy. I read somewhere that you can actually store a netbook inside – on the bottom of the bag. well if i have time, i’m gonna try and see if my Asus EeePc netbookwill fit or not. heheh!

Fact: Today’s temperature is 59 degree. Hopefully it’s a sign that Spring is coming… YAY!
Look what came in the mail today?? That’s right, its thePhotoVision 2010 Video Seminar. I haven’t watch it yet. Hopefully sometime this week I will start on it. So stay tune for my review.
When I decided to use www.john-lo.com as a blog site for 2010. I wanted to look somewhat different then when I had my blog at http://www.johnlophotography.com/blog (I was using the DWF Photographer Theme). I had a few photog friends, including my good bubby William Eng, who was using the theme/template from ProPhoto Blogs. I really like what I saw and the features that came with to help make the site easier to post, edit, upload, and blah blah blah. I might be good at created website and coding back in the days. Right now, I just don’t have the free time to do it anymore. Anyway, just so happen when I was thinking about using them, they announced the release of Version 3. After doing a quick research and saw the demo and photos few days after the release. I am now a happy ProPhoto Blogs user. YAY!! So far I only ran into one problem with the contact page. It kept telling me “Not Found” after the submit button is press. I didn’t really look into it much. Didn’t bother contacting Prophoto blogs or my web hosting. (I think its my web hosting problem) I just didn’t have the time. So I hurry and put on my thinking cap on and created a contact page instead of using the one from Prophoto blogs. I wonder how many inquiries I’ve lost because of it?!?! Oh well.
The layout is pretty much the default that came with the template. I did make some changed with the colors so it would go with my style, mood and my logo.

. Fact: if your REAL name isn’t John Lo, then why are you using JohnLo Photography as your business name? I just don’t get it.
Branding is a very important part of your business. It represent who are you as an individual as well as the organization you work for. I only wish I pay more attention in my Marketing 101 when I was in St. John’s. Oh well!!
What person like to carry their gears back to their car after a long day shooting? Well last summer I was asking myself that question while walking back to the car. Few weeks later, I sold all my Lowepro backpacks and got myself the Think Tank Airport International v2.0. Yes its a roller and I can use it as a carry-on on any flight both international and domestic. But of course no matter what, you still need check with your airline and TSA since things does changes everyday thanks to the people who causing such problems.
Here’s some Pros and Cons I have put together about the bag….
Pros:
1) Can be use as a carry-on on a flight.
2) it has wheels
3) my shoulder and lower back doesn’t hurt anymore.
4) it has two locks that’s TSA approved.
5) well built
6) roomy
7) Looks like a normally carry-on luggage.
Cons:
1) Too heavy – depending on your gears you have inside, the airline can still stop you from using is as a carry-on due to the weight. So need to be smart when packing and going to security. I’ve heard story from other photog being stopped at the check point.
2) WAY Too Expensive <—- but the money was well spent : the quality of the bag.
Well that’s all i can think of. Here’s some pics inside the bag with my gears. Hope my brief review will help you to decide if it’s the right bag for you and your gears.
