So, if you're actually reading this, it's amazing. Anyway, designing light stand bags grew out of photographic need. Since you're considering buying a specialized photographic product, I thought that I'd share a few of my own photos, along with descriptions of how they were shot. Happy viewing.

	This photo was lit with an SB800 on a 6' light stand and a shoot though umbrella. The camera was on on a tripod and the flash was balanced with available room light. This is an alumni publication for a local college.
	This was a dimly lit panel discussion. I set up an off-camera flash, manual power (abt 1/4), pointed directly at the speakers.It was elevated high and far to the camera left. It is causing the rim of light on the panel members right side. On camera fill flash.
	Now comes the shameless plug for the Grab 'n Go bag. This is Dr. "K". He is a hip surgeon and was due in surgery in a very short time.I unpacked, setup, shot, and re-packed in less than 10 minutes. I used a shoot thru umbrella on a 6' light stand with an SB800 at 1/4 power. The flash was triggered by Nikon's wireless system using the built in flash, set at 1/32 power to both fill the subject and trigger the slave. I have done a lot of these type portraits for a particular Medical group. I drop the BG out in PS and drop in the same one on all of the photos, so they match. They're often used side-by-side, so the consistent BG helps. Having the strobes, stands, and umbrellas in the same bag made set up and tear down very quick.
	A couple of years ago I had a photo show at Whittier College. I chose something that I had always wanted to do which is documention of Whittier Blvd from the beginning in East Los Angeles, to the end, which is in more affluent Orange County. This shot is the Boulevard at it's busiest. A 200mm lens with the camera on a tripod. In the show there were about 16 horizontal panels, each 1' by 3'.
	Once in a while a job with a bigger name comes up. This is Henry Kissinger. I had set up a couple of AC Norman strobe lights with umbrellas and was ready to photograph several selected small groups of people with the guest of honor. Shortly before the shoot, he informed me that his eyes were sensitive to electronic flash and I needed to shoot the photos with available light. So I did the photograhy with the camera on a tripod and using the modeling light only for illumination. The shoot went well inspite of the unforseen obstacles.
	"Cinema Under the Stars" A new college Campus Center features a multi-use amphitheater. These are two shots stitched together in PS. There is some off camera flash on the students in the upper right and a small amount of on-camera fill
