What’s in the bag, and on the desk.
People ask, so here it is. I buy used where I can and keep things until they break.
Camera bag
- 35mm manual SLR
- All metal, no batteries needed except for the meter. It has survived two falls and one creek.
- 50mm f/2 prime
- The only lens I take on long days. It makes me walk closer.
- Carbon travel tripod
- 2.6 lb, folds to the width of a water bottle. Fine for sunsets, not for wind.
Desk
- 14-inch laptop
- Plugged into one large screen at home, nothing at all on the road.
- Split keyboard
- Built from a kit over a rainy weekend. Two years in, my wrists say thanks.
Apps
- Darkroom Notes
- My own shot log. Every frame, lens and place, saved without a signal.
- Try Darkroom Notes
- A plain-text notes app
- One folder of text files, synced when I get home. Nothing to export, ever.
- An open-source vector map editor
- For the map styles in Ridgeline and the posters in Contour.
