Tell us a little bit about Think Tank Photo.

Think Tank Photo was founded by award winning photojournalists (including the 2005 winner of the Pulitzer Prize) and camera bag designers to serve the needs of professional and serious amateur photographers. Our company was founded to really listen to the needs of photographers and to translate them into innovative, sturdy, ergonomic designs.

Why did Think Tank Photo decide to sponsor the PhotographyCorner 2008 Photograph of the Year contest?

It is a core part of our mission to support photographers wherever they gather. PhotographyCorner is a leading resource for the discerning photographer.

Tell us a little more about the prizes Think Tank Photo is offering for the contest.

The Urban Disguise 20 was designed not to look like a camera bag. With photographers carrying thousands of dollars of valuable gear into tight, sometimes dangerous settings, they need a bag that has all of the functionality of a camera bag while not looking like one.

How will the Urban Disguise 20's that Think Tank Photo is offering help people become better photographers?

The Urban Disguise was the result of input from professional photographers working in tight, dangerous settings who wanted quick access to different configurations of their gear. And, with the Shoulder Harness, it can quickly be converted so that it can be carried as a backpack, thus lessening body strain.
