My camera usually stays at home during the week, but if I go anywhere with the family it’s out of its bag. Photo opportunities quickly come and go, so I want quick access. Pre-kids, my gear was either in a bag or getting used. Now, I’m a lot more comfortable leaving the bag behind and only bringing the camera.
