The last time I worked with Rei was in 2004 and one of the images we made has been published 5 different times. It was a pleasure to work with her again. There are more images yet to be scanned, but I’m already in love with several of these. The rest will be placed in my permanent photo gallery on this site @ the link above called Photography.

Before you go on a trip, especially one that won’t allow you to rent gear, you need a check list. A packing list, and a bag that you can carry on the plane. Checking your gear and trusting airport baggage with expensive equipment is a bit foolhardy. If only I could Fed-Ex it all so it arrived before me. But I don’t even trust that. So – I thought I’d let you all into my ritual of organizing before a photo excursion by posting my check list.

iPhone snap of Holga back
- 1. Holga w/Polaroid Back. I don’t leave home without it!
- 2. And that means – 10 packs of Type 85 Pos/Neg
- 3. Sodium Sulfite (hmm… airport security… wonders to myself)
- 4. Polaroid Bucket
- 5. 2 Nikon FM
- 6. Nikkor 50mm
- 7. Nikkor 105
- 8. Red Filter, Orange Filter, Yellow Filter
- 9. 20 BW Kodak Tri-X 35mm 400 Speed
- 10. Rollei
- 11. 20 BW Ilford Delta 120 400 Speed
- 12. 20 BW Kodak Tri-X 120 400 Speed
- 13. The last stash of Kodak Portra
- 14. My last roll of Kodak Color Infrared
- 15. Film Cooler for Infrared Film
- 16. Diana Camera
- 17. Pano Holga Camera
- 18. 4×4 silver/white reflector
- 19. Polaroid film protectors
I’m debating on taking my Speed Graphic 4×5. I know I’ll want it at some point but the terrain is going to be rugged and traveling light seems like that will give me the most freedom. Not only would I have to tote the 4×5 around but boxes of Type 55 too. So it’s not sounding too adventurous at the moment. Thinking about renting something while I’m there for a day so …
- 20. i545 Polaroid Back
- 21. 1 box of Polaroid Type 55
Yeah – I kind of have to shoot 4×5 – at least one day. Even though it will be insanely cumbersome, it will probably be worth it.
I have a few days yet, trying to think of more crap I can fit into a carryon seems exhausting. If only I just needed clothing.
For those wondering what the prize is going to be… I’ve decided to give whoever guesses where I am 2 movies I made to music of my photography mailed to you.
