A Photographer’s Camera Bag

Mark Goldstein | Technique | December 31, 2004 | 2 Comments

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.”

The main problem to overcome is the flight restrictions, without them Pelican cases, or, as I prefer, picnic coolers, are the plan of the day. Waterproof backpacks are the rage, they even can be submurgerd, but pricey!
Looking for a neat pack? consider what I use, various sized picnic coolers to suit the occasion, they are cheap, the airtight kind. A couple Markham Vineyards wine cooler soft bags hold the Bigma and Canons. Use your imagination for soft separators in the coolers.
Of course, if you're going to Bangladesh, you'll need exactly what Mr. Reichman has!
