Quoted By:
In a little camera bag:
-camera, sometimes with a backup camera
-lens
-flash
-lots of batteries for everything (or a few dozen rolls of film if that's your thing)
-charger
-extra memory cards
-lens cloth
-black paper tape
-extra shirt, rolled up
Besides that:
-wallet, phone+charger, etc.
-extra cash to keep on your person, or something you can pawn if you fuck up and need to get back home.
-a couple of sleeping pills, and painkillers wrapped in paper. (hard for me to fall asleep on buses and planes, and jet lag is a bitch)
-pepper spray for undesirables (be sure to toss it out if you're going to a courtroom or political event or something)
Everything fits in my Domke F6 and pocket for a 2~4 day trip.
