12/12, Thursday. 6:30-9pm. 415 Westlake Ave. Scott Kranz and Glazer's Camera organized tonight's talk and promoting the camera sale this weekend at Glazer's. Scott Kranz spent the last 2 summers documenting his climb of Bulger List.

During the intermission, he talked about camera gear. He uses Sony. The Sony representative at Glazer is also present. He publishes a gear list. Afterwards, during Q&A, he said either he uses a hip-belt camera pouch (for protection + quick access), or a shoulder belt clip (quicker access). He also emphasized the research before his trip: both for condition and weather. He even plot where he'd be at what hour for optimal shot. I asked him what peaks he like to climb outside of Bulger. He mentioned Mt Olympus, The Picket Range, Vesper-Del Compo area.

Scott Kranz was a corporate attorney. About 10 some years agao, he quit his day job, and now freelancing as a photographer. Quite a good speaker.

Donation is collected for WTA. A large turn out. The talk started late. No water fountain on site.
