What a Photographer Wants

Word is out on the street that some of us are venturing out and doing a bit of shopping. Dedicated gear-head photographers are always lusting after something or another anyway, even if it takes months of internet research to find the best deal. Here are some suggestions for photographers (and everything here can be found on Etsy).

Vintage camera love.

This one is a 1950's Beacon, from Whitehouse Products of Brooklyn, NY, and discovered for us by SuzisCornerBoutique. It takes 127 film, which is available from retailers such as B&H Photo. There are also some great sellers of toy cameras and film on Amazon.

Vintage vegan vinyl camera bag

There's no need to look like everyone else while you're out shooting. This unique bag lets you travel light and nimble. Check out this find from Porchlight Vintage.

Enlarging and Darkroom Technique books

Photographers never stop learning, and it's hard to resist the foray into the darkroom to play with the lights off. VintageBookNook has this set and quite a few other interesting books about photography.

Old Ruler Easel

Whether you are thinking about gifts this season for mom's, dad's or graduates in your life, or if you are gearing up for outdoor art shows, you may find this handmade easel from SalvagedBeauty to be just what you need.

Photographers are cool

The backside of this shirt from makristababy says "Honor Your Vision." This tee is already soft and worn in just the right places. Check out this shop for more great tee-shirt graphics for all ages. That's a nice cap, too, although it's not included with the tee.
