I think his surname is Blake. I've just looked at the archives, and this subject came up in September 2006, so we're a bit early for the 10th anniversary.
The best camera bags for shooting are still the Domke F series. The F-2 in particular was designed specifically for shooting with two bodies, and I've used mine for twenty years for that. http://www.tiffen.com/displayproduct.html?tablename=domke&itemnum=700-02B You can configure the innards different ways, eg one config for storage, another for shooting. For shooting I divide the interior into two parts, one per camera, and use the bag's pockets for accessories, although generally that's only for transport - when I'm shooting I have my cameras on my shoulders. On a strap, obviously; I can't attach tripod mounts to my shoulders. Hmm. Maybe I've just had a business idea... It's crazy, but it might just work.
