Post subject: Hung by the Neck
Archived from groups: rec>photo>digital (more info?)

For years now photographers have been recognized by their massive neck
straps supporting their heavy camera equipment. Companies put their names on
these huge straps for advertising and status symbol effect. Nowadays point &
shoot cameras and cell phones are taking over the majority of photography.
But, will the concept of the huge neck strap end as a symbol of the elite
photographer?

Personally, I would like a quality wrist mounted camera that would lead to a
new symbol for photography: Two fists together as the photographer sights
across their forearm to the subject. What do you think?

I think you've been using your fists for something more personal.

Perhaps someone will start selling a heavy-duty heck strap designed to
hold a cell phone.

I think you need less time to think about such things. Get a hobby
(other than photography), and fill that time!
