Gaffers Tape

All photojournalists know you’re not legit unless you have gaff tape covering all your fucking gear. We spend $20 a roll on that stupid shit and waste 90% of it by putting random strips all over our lenses and cameras.

Sure it’s awesome for it intended uses-ya know, like holding a bounce card on a flash or keeping a gel over a strobe, but do we use it like that?  Hell fucking no.  Some of us actually buy different colors and use this shit to decorate like we’re 8 and it’s a pack of sparkly unicorn stickers. 

If you haven’t taped up every square inch of your gear, hop on B&H and buy a couple dozen rolls. Or just give up and throw away your career. We won’t miss you.
