No room in my camera bag!

I also like to grab people in their environment, which is why photos like these can be shot with a state-of-the-art smart phone with virtually no sacrifice in quality vs. a "professional" camera. And they fit in your pocket! This assumes, of course, you don't plan to blow the image up to mural size. >Alan
After many years of trying to take photos omitting people, I finally saw the light, and today many of my photo efforts are like 'street photography', where the people are what make them 'special'.

Long ago I had a similar epiphany ... that the
ONLY truly unique, unrepeatable, never to be
imitated, images one can make MUST involve
unique instances of humans and their "goings
on". You seen one BIF, one rare critter, one
sunset, one red-rocks-in-the-southwest ....
you pretty much seen them all. But humans
tend to create unique moments/situations.
You may have a classic "capture" of a very
rare endangered species ... but that fact is
simply the back story. The image itself, the
actual visual content aside from back story,
is "just another critter shot". The visuals do
not convey the back story.
------------------------------------------
Cool thing about people pix is the way we
automatically relate to subjects. Often the
story that we think we see is in "the eye of
the beholder". Human visual content tends
to push our "story button" the way no other
visual content can.
Yes, some images are more beautifully done
than other more-or-less similar images, but
the "pretty picture" thing sooner or later gets
old, wears thin. But with humans, there is
forever the possibility of the new and really
unique capture. Acoarst no denying that is a
POSSIBILITY. Certainly, there are plenty of
people pix that just endless grind the same
old cliches simply inserting new faces :-(
Anywho, relish your new sense of adventure !

The eternal problem!!! I hear ya! I found Vanguard to make the best bags around. I have had them all. Well worth the look. Fortunately they are based in Michigan so I went the their showroom and saw the collection. Of course, I over bought! https://www.vanguardworld.com/collections/bags?gclid=CjwKCAjw98rpBRAuEiwALmo-ypHPORELFWnsEegLBZlirFfVRqn3PSdo7Lv2kNhcJStPdH42JbtdSBoC2tUQAvD_BwE
Thanks for this link. I, too, have outgrown my camera bag!!! I had INTENDED to keep my Sony lens collection to 3; but now I have 5 and want/need just ONE more! Since my camera bag is full, I’m forced to carry the camera and one lens OUTSIDE the bag!!

Some of us don't have nearly so much space {and I have this much only because my wife recently gave several purses to Goodwill and volunteered to let me use the space}

never fight the feeling, just buy a bigger bag.
I'm not willing to carry a bigger bag.
The one I have now is hard enough on my back.
