Recently I had the opportunity to test out the MindShift Gear Backlight 26L backpack. In this video I run through the features I liked, along with a few things I’d change. This backpack was comfortable to wear all day, and the entry system is fantastic. I am always looking for the perfect bag, and while “perfect” may not exist, the MindShift Gear Backlight 26L is now my fave bag – along with my Think Tank Airport International V2. The bottom line is that I loved this backpack. Watch the video for more info.


Steve Brazill hosts Behind the Shot-Video, a series that goes far beyond gear lists and camera settings. Each conversation is a deep exploration of the creative and technical journey behind compelling images. You’ll hear working photographers unpack the entire process-from the initial spark of an idea and the challenges of the location to the critical decisions made in post-production. This podcast sits at the unique intersection of art and practical technology, offering tangible lessons for anyone looking to improve their visual storytelling. Rather than abstract theory, these discussions provide a real-world look at problem-solving under pressure and the artistic choices that define a signature style. Tune in for honest, detailed breakdowns that reveal how memorable shots are truly built, layer by layer. It’s an essential resource for visual artists seeking both inspiration and actionable knowledge, all grounded in the lived experience of accomplished creators.
