Today’s tip is about finding other uses for your socks and clothing accessories.
If you stuff you cameras inside your backpack like I do, you could wind up with a camera covered in backpack grime. This grime is an especially damaging mixture of Goldfish cracker crumbs, sand, crayons, and tissue fuzz.
One solution is to carry your camera bag inside your backpack. But I know you don’t need any additional weight or bulk, as your backpack already weighs a ton.
The simpler solution is put your camera inside a sock. I like the simple white ankle cut, but you might opt for a fancier wool blend. You can even use the winter hat your child refuses to wear to protect larger video cameras.
It’s hard to look chic when you’re pulling your camera out of a sock to snap a picture of the Eiffel Tower, but I’m sure your days of looking like a chic jet setter are on hold for now. Don’t kid yourself. You’re still the lady with Goldfish crackers in her purse.
