New sidekick camera bag design from lomography.com.

This special edition bag has been handcrafted in Egypt of fine pebble-grain leather – and is lined in 100% cotton canvas. Its 2-in-1 design – a Camera bag attached to a Large storage bag – allows you to wear both parts separately or together. The Large bag holds a laptop, records, etc – while the Camera Bag transports two LC-A-sized cameras or one Holga or compact DV cam with ease. An adjustable cotton shoulder strap keeps everything securely mounted and comfortable. The elegant dark brown & orange color scheme tops everything off with a heavy touch of class.

It finally snowed! It’s just a dusting, but it makes me happy. So some snowflake frames from Pier 1 seemed right for the day. On sale for $5.
