Gear

I don’t why, but it seems like every photographer I meet wants to talk about gear (including myself). I guess this is what we all share in common… the camera and its bits and bobs that go with it. Honestly, I’d rather talk about creative process, but I still enjoy sharing thoughts and ideas about gear.

In this gallery I want to showcase all the bits and bobs that go along with the photographic creative process. Things like, homemade pinhole cameras, the 35mm, 120 or 620 film they use, homemade lenses for DSLR or mirrorless cameras, Toy cameras like the Holga or Diana as well as vintage cameras like the Japanese Rocket camera. Also, let’s talk about backpacks and bags that hold all these goodies. What about homemade filters, like the Kodak Duaflex I through the viewfinder (TTV) contraption which enables you to take photos of an image on the ground glass viewfinder of that camera.

Let’s not forget small pocket size cameras like the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC RX100 MKIII and the Canon Powershot G7x MKIII point-and-shoots. And of course if you’re traveling or hitting the street or trail with this camera you’ll need a bag.
