In the military it’s “Leave no man behind.” In the world of photography it’s “Eh, I don’t plan on leaving any man behind, but come on, if there’s like an earthquake or something, I gotta get the shot first, right?” OK, so it’s possible no photographer has ever said that exactly, but the point is a shooter’s gear is usually more important than their friend. So the Niko camera bag ($180) is a godsend with its sturdy waterproof build, plethora of pockets, laptop sleeve, and top loading compartment for instant access. There’s plenty of room for lenses, flashes, and more. What there isn’t room for is a wisecracking sidekick.
