Just wondering. Do you take you camera to work with you daily?

I take my camera quite a bit. I have an office so its safe and I can bring it inside. I like to shoot on lunch hours ..When I can *LOL*. I do have some shoots after or before work so then its necessary.

I work in an office, and I bring my camera bag in and leave it under my desk just to keep it out of the hot car.

Seeing as the last place I worked was a store that sold cameras with overzealous LP, if I had a camera I'd probably be tackled by security on the way out.

When I'm at my Photography job? Every day.
When I'm at my Graphic Design Job? Sometimes if I need it.
But never next to my PBJ!

I take mine everyday...but I work out of my home, its kind of easy. :D

I do travel for work and always take a camera with me. Never know when I'll see an opportunity for a good shot. This week I found myself at a client location where they did not allow cameras so I didn't take it with me. Wouldn't you know that I saw some great mountain ranges while traveling...I really wish I had my camera with me. This just reinforced to take it with.

I bought this at Amazon. When I got it it was 39 and it looks like thry raised the price !!!
My lunch fits nicely on the top section. I used foam inserts for the bottom section. You really hace to do something in this bag to protect your camera. For me it works well.
