Jim Domke and The Shooter’s Bag™ Story

“I designed my first shooter’s bag to solve a problem, without a thought that I might actually end up in the photo bag business. As a staffer at the Philadelphia Inquirer, I needed a bag I could work out of fast, and on the run if need be. Most bags are designed more like carrying cases or storage devices, with way too much bulk and padding. This is not only unnecessary, but takes away utility, speed and capacity.

The bag I created had the necessary cushioning, yet tons more room. It was designed so that I could get at my equipment instantly, without having to take the bag from my shoulder.

My colleagues liked my ideas and so did thousands of other photographers. What started as a kitchen table experiment is now a line of intelligently designed and executed bags and accessories that are recognized throughout the world as the photojournalist’s choice.”

Canvas, for a classic look and feel:

If your tastes lean towards the traditional and under- stated, then all-natural can- vas is probably for you. Soft, supple, heavyweight cotton canvas molds around its con- tents, hugs your body, and has a smooth texture that’s friendly to both equipment and clothing. The fabric is naturally water-resistant, and

we add a repellent treatment in the dying process for an extra measure of protec- tion. Still, canvas is a “breathable” fabric, so the air in your Domke Bag stays dry even in the most humid environments. Canvas also helps prevent static electricity, a benefit when working with electronic equipment. Finally, canvas has a character all its own; as your Domke Bag ages, it softens and wears like a favorite pair of jeans. And new or old, a canvas Domke is the ultimate in discretion - the bag that doesn’t shout “Expensive Camera Equipment Inside!”

Or Ballistic Nylon, for a more “high- tech” approach:

If you prefer a nylon bag, we also use super-tough 1050 Denier Ballistic Nylon. It is a water-resistant fabric used in everything from ex- pensive luggage to bullet- proof vest exteriors. It has a more pronounced texture than canvas, and features a beefy, weatherproof urethane coating. Tough-

as-nails Ballistic Nylon keeps its shape and sheen even after years of hard use, yet when incorporated into the flexible Domke design, is still soft and hip-hugging. Our Ballistic Nylon bags are a great alternative for those who want classic Domke performance but prefer a different look to canvas.
