I left My Gear in San Francisco

Tom Jacobs March 27, 2016

Now you know the rest of the story...

A couple weeks ago I was in San Francisco and went around the corner to get some coffee. I was gone maybe 15 minutes. It probably took the thief ten seconds to smash and grab two packs full of camera gear - about $6000! It was a nice area, middle of the day in broad daylight, with people on the sidewalks. I had actually put the packs in my truck and sat in it for awhile in case someone was scoping it out. Lessons learned.

The silver lining is that my insurance company has been generous. I can now make the total switch from Canon gear to the Fuji mirrorless system. My Fuji xt1 mirrorless camera easily rivals my professional Canon gear with half the size and weight to carry around!

Fortunately, I had my Fuji with me on the way to coffee. I like this one abstract image of a San Francisco street scene.
