A Photographer's Camera Bag

December 31, 2004 | Mark Goldstein | Technique | Comment |

And I thought my camera bag was too heavy - it looks positively feather-weight compared to all the kit that Michael Reichmann carries around, which he shows us in his latest article over on Luminous Landscape:

“For 13 days in early January, 2005 I will be leading a photographic expedition / workshop in Bangladesh. Together with about a dozen other photographers we will be exploring this little-known but fascinating country – by boat, road and on foot. This workshop has been planned for more than half a year, and though my colleague Pierre Claquin has lived, worked and photographed there for some dozen years, and has provided everyone with equipment advice, actually deciding what to bring (as well as what’s possible to bring) is an interesting challenge.

I thought that I’d share the thought process with you, as it is one that all photographers go through when heading off on a shooting trip. There are so many factors involved, from intended as well as potential subject matter, to flying restrictions, to weight and bulk concerns.”
