Some would call it irony, but some misuse irony all the time. I say that it is by intelligent design that my first holiday gift this year is from the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Some friends brought over gifts yesterday and I received the “Touched By His Noodly Appendage” t-shirt pictured below.

The problem with camera bags is that each photographic situation requires a different combination of equipment. I tried the one lens solution with an 18-200 mm VR lens, and thought I had the ultimate lightweight travel kit, but that didn’t work out. For city travel, the lens is not wide enough, the zoom is wasted, and I have never been blown away with the quality of the photos from the lens either. I keep it as my backpacking lens though, because in the backcountry, weight really does matter.

However, today I find myself using Adobe Lightroom and needing to transfer another 7,000 images out of Aperture. Why did I make the switch? Read on and I will try to explain the rationale behind my change of heart.
