Travel

While I do take some photos in my day-to-day life, most of my actual photography is done when I'm travelling. There's plenty of cool stuff to shoot around LA and the Bay Area, but since I mostly shoot landscapes and buildings, I'm always much more inspired when I'm out of my usual environment and in some place new.

What I Bring

Sometimes it can be a challenge to pick out what photography gear I want to bring with me while travelling, especially if I have limited bag space. Even on one of my trips along the California Coast on the Amtrak train, I can bring as many bags as I want but I still need to be able to dig through them and find the right gear when the moment strikes. So, in general, I pick one of these two setups, depending on how much space I have, and cram them all in my camera bag.

Option A

  • Canon T5 Digital Camera
  • Two backup batteries for Canon T5
  • Chinon CM3 Film Camera
  • A few rolls of film
  • Small pouch to separate shot rolls from unshot rolls
  • Lens cleaning cloth

Option B

  • Canon T5 Digital Camera
  • Two backup batteries for Canon T5
  • T5 Battery Charger
  • Chinon CM3 Film Camera
  • Screwdriver and electrical tape for Chinon repairs (it's old and breaks often)
  • A few rolls of film
  • Small pouch to separate shot rolls from unshot rolls
  • Film retreiver tool
  • Lens cleaning cloth
