Orlando, Florida (February 26, 2006) — National Geographic, one of the world’s leading authorities on world exploration and cultural and environmental conservation, has teamed up with Bogen Imaging to be the exclusive distributor of its Earth Explorer PhotoBags in North America.
The Earth Explorer PhotoBags are an ideal blend of today’s cutting-edge protective carrying technology and a traditional “explorer” look and feel. The collection mirrors National Geographic’s dedication to exploration by providing ample room to carry cameras, accessories and personal belongings.
In addition, in recognition of National Geographic’s commitment to conservation, each bag in the Earth Explorer collection is manufactured from a variety of environmentally friendly, natural sourced material, including fibers such as hemp and cotton, and includes features like all-metal antique brass buckles.
“We are pleased to be partnering with National Geographic to deliver innovative, high quality photo bags to the market,” said Wayne Schulman, Product Manager for Bogen Imaging. “Actually, I view the Earth Explorer PhotoBags as a ‘lifestyle’ collection that delivers quality, protection, function and style to serious outdoor photographers as well as to the hiker, backpacker, bird watcher or day tripper who wish to record their adventures with a digital or film SLR, point and shoot camera or small camcorder. I am especially proud of the commitment to the environment in the collection’s design and manufacture. Everyone at Bogen shares a passion for photography and quality and we’re eager to present this collection to the attendees and exhibitors of PMA 2006,” concluded Mr. Schulman.
The National Geographic Earth Explorer PhotoBag collection consists of a medium camera pouch, small and medium sized shoulder bags and medium and large sized backpacks.
