I am doing this series for my blog, featuring a different bag everyday. They can be any bag, anything inside, just as long as there is a camera in there. It is really interesting to see what people have in their bags, the voyeur in us loves to have a nosey around.
This is the page with all of the bagshots.
If you would like to show everyone what is in your bag, drop me a line and I can put your bag on the feature too.
Thanks

Here is what I am carrying with me right now. Last week it was a rangefinder kit, then week before my Olympus kit. I like to change it up!

Sorry about that, the site went down for some unknown reason yesterday. I have it back now, so if you want to have your bag featured please drop me a line and we can get it on there.
Thanks

Still looking for submissions for the 'in your bag' feature on the site. Send me what is in your bag and get it on the site. Send me a hi resolution image of the bag (please make sure it is horizontal) and its contents, with some details about yourself and what you shoot. Oh and don’t forget your contact details (twitter, flickr, tumbler et al).

Just before it was stolen about a month and a half ago, here was the contents of my two lens/two camera bag:

I had the OM/50mm f/3.5 with me at the time of the burglary, so I still have that.

Harsh man. I've had a Dell 24" lcd, Pentax K10D, K1000, Canon 5D mk2 and about 4k worth of lenses taken from my car. Not all at the same time, not all in the same city and not all from the same car. It still hurts bad.
 
Damn guys, that is awful. It happened to me years ago in the UK, but never in Japan. You can literally leave your gear on the table in the coffee shop and go to the bathroom/counter/ for a 10 minute walk and it will still be there when you get back. I am not kidding. The only things that ever get stolen here are umbrellas, all the bloody time.
 
It used to be that way here, but with the economy in the dumpster and meth prices on the rise, there's a lot more burglary. Unfortunately I live in a particularly depressed part of a particularly depressed city. Fortunately my cameras were insured.
 
Japan is a bit special, there is no place in the world like it. Japanese people actually have a bit of a problem when they go abroad, because they assume it will be the same as Japan and then find their bag/ipod/phone/passport has been stolen.
I don't even think about it now, I will actually leave my M6 on the table to reserve it while I go down to the counter to get my coffee. Completely nuts.
In England I would have to keep my Leica in my bag half the bloody time.
