I'd like to feature my friend's photography on my stream this week.
We were taking shots around the city, testing out his EF 75-300mm IS USM lens. I had no idea that I would be the subject of these great candid shots.
I am very impressed as candid/street is not his preferred style.
The shots are of myself in action throughout the day.

1963 FORD GALAXIE 427 LIGHTWEIGHT FACTORY DRAG RACER. Incredibly rare 1963 Ford Galaxie Factory Lightweight Race Car featured in Corinthian White with Red interior. In 1963 Ford built 212 Lightweight Galaxie factory race cars. Features common to these cars include Fords 427/425 HP R-Code engine, Borg Warner 4-speed aluminum transmission, Dual Holley 4 barrel carburetors, Fiberglass front fenders and trunk lid, Heater, radio and arm rest delete, Special lightweight interior components, Bostrom lightweight bucket seats, Rubber floor mat, No seam sealer or sound deadener throughout body panels, Aluminum front and rear bumpers and brackets, 15 inch Kelsey Hayes wheels. This car was found in Georgia and has been the subject of discussion on many forums. The car was located in Georgia and restored by a respected expert. It has fewer than 500 miles since restoration. In period a similar car turned the quarter in 12.49 seconds at 116.27 MPH! The lightweight looked a lot like the street Galaxie 500, but the appearance deceives. Aside from some sheet metal and the 427 block, they had nothing in common. Even the frame was derived from the base 300 series and built with lightweight outer rails, all part of an effort that took hundreds of pounds out of the car. And while the 427 Galaxie 500 Sports Hardtop was the car used in Fords dominating NASCAR program, the lightweight was strictly for the dragstrip. This Galaxie was restored to authentic as-raced configuration including Police Interceptor low-fade 11x3-inch brakes with drilled backing plates, race-spec aluminum RC Industries bellhousing, heavy-duty suspension, and an aluminum-case toploader T-10 4-speed. The interior has no sound deadening or seam sealer, heater or radio; no roof supports, door pulls, dome light, reverse lights nor mirrors; no trunklid springs or even provision for a spare tire. Even the Galaxies padded sun visors were replaced with pieces of cardboard and instead of carpet, a half-thickness rubber mat. The car has an open exhaust system and makes an incredible sound.

Purchased this bag today, 35L Arc'Teryx Miura 30.
I've been searching for a year now for a bag that can balance all of the stuff I like to take to school as well as my camera which I'd like to be able to safely haul with me whenever I want it, but don't want to take an additional bag.
I've owned a North Face toploader before and sold it a few months after because it was just too huge for a daily commute. This bag is definitely smaller than it, but I think I will encounter the same problem- It's really big.
I am happy with how it hauls my homemade insert (a pelican case WOULD have gone in there had I not made one) but worry that hauling it back and forth on a bus every day will get old, quick. On the other hand it's a pain in the ass to try and pack stuff into a messenger bag if you are doing any traveling, so this would work well for that.
I think I've looked at almost every bag in existence and it seems none can do what I want them to do which means I either have to stick with a big bag, or forget the idea of safely and comfortably carrying my camera with me every day.
Input appreciated.
*Update, changed my mind.
I realized that with a bit of work I can actually shrink the bag down to a really reasonable size. Also I discovered that the waist pad that wraps around your hips is removable, after taking it off the bag is a really decent size.
I figure for the price I got it for, the fact that it finally carries everything I want it to that I'll just keep it.
'68 Mercury Cougar custom convertible. Nicest car at the show. More info: www.cardomain.com/ride/3177675/1968-mercury-cougar/
"The engine is built around an aluminum 427 Side-oiler FE from Carroll Shelby. It features a TWM multiport sequential fuel injection system delivered through simulated Webbers. This gives state of the art performance with a retro look. It's fully balanced and bored out to 468 ci. Dyno tested out of car at 560 Hp and 547 ft lbs @ 6400 rpm. It is bolted to a new aluminum Toploader 4-speed with a classic Hurst shifter. Clutch system and scatter shield are McLeod and the cooling is by Be Cool. For a clean look, all engine bay brake system components and ignition electronics have been hidden. Maybe too clean. At car shows, I will often hear people muttering that they don't think the car even runs!"

In 1964 Ford unveiled the 427 SOHC V-8, which produced more than 625 HP at 7200 RPM with dual 4-barrel carburetors. Ford's answer to the Chrysler Hemi then dominating NASCAR, it was rendered obsolete by a rules change outlawing both engines. One of the approximately 75 built now powers this outstanding and powerful 427 Cobra replica, which also features a Borg Warner Toploader 4-speed, stainless steel headers and exhaust, custom aluminum radiator and aluminum engine bay paneling. Finished in Red with an outstanding Saddle interior, it rolls on polished Halibrand wheels and includes a chromed rollbar and front and rear bumper guards. No expense was spared in building this awe-inspiring showpiece.
From 1970 to 1973, the Falcon GT was assembled in South Africa and sold there as a Fairmont GT. The XW in 1970 and XY 71-73. They were built in Geelong and sent in CKD form, final assembly in South Africa, included painting and more like a Futura interior fitted (Fairmont Trim in Australia). Hood lining was white instead of black. They still got the Aussie GT console, steering wheel and dash (no woodgrain tho and gauges were in metric) Trim colours included Black, Saddle, Red and Dark Green.
Outside they looked much the same as Aussie GTs, apart from their unique paint colours, GS chrome wheel covers, most had vinyl roofs, the XY had a Super Rhino within the side stripe and the XW had GS stripes with a 351GT badge at the end.
Mechanically, the XW got only the 2V 351 and 2 bbl carb whereas the XY got the same 4V engine, toploader and 9 inch as the Aussie GT.
239 XW Fairmont GTs and 1801 XY Fairmont GTs were made
