Just like the lenses the pros use, $100+ fancy dual camera straps are all a tax write off.
We peasants do not have that luxury and deal with what we have. I may try slinging it across my chest, but usually have it in a bag slung sideways.

Some people take pictures that are too big.

I use wrist straps, myself.
Once in a while, on the Harley, I’ll sling one around my neck instead of shoulder, because high speed + slippage = much sorrow.
:D

Someone should tell Nikon; they provide “neck straps” as an official accessory for their professional DSLRs. In fact, they include them with the camera. Sorry, I don’t subscribe to the ‘need to look like a professional’ theme... in fact, at most events, better to not look like a professional lest they inform you no “professional” lenses are allowed without proper credentials. Only valid reason I see for a hobbyist to use a shoulder strap is if they are using multiple cameras... the heavy lens thing is a non-factor ( if it is heavy enough to cause back problems, you need it on a monopod anyway). After all, I’ve read numerous articles over the years that claim students wearing backpacks with a strap over one shoulder rather than two is causing back problems... I guess camera weight is special weight though.

Not trying to be a smart a$$, but if you took that picture with a camera that takes 75 MEGA-Pixels PLUS, you need to "re-size," or use "HTML" code to resize them.
On the other hand this post is a good example of a bad post, and using all of that "server" space.
Your heart was in the right place, unfortunately shall we just say, you zigged, when you should have zagged. :-)

Eyebrows were neatly trimmed, and even her chin hairs have been recently shaved. The girl cares about her appearance (other than those eyelashes), and she did a good job brushing and flossing her teeth.
