Gear

I’m a firm believer that gear does not define the photographer but, since enough people have asked what’s currently in the camera bags, here’s the current rundown of active recommended equipment that I shoot or travel with on a regular basis. My mantra is to only carry what you need because additional clutter just gets in the way.
