1x1.trans Whats In My Bag? 2 Month Street Photography Journey to Korea, Paris, Marseilles, and Istanbul!

Hey streettogs – will be traveling for about 2 months to Korea, Paris, Marseilles, and Istanbul. Loaded up my bag with 100 rolls of Portra 400 (35mm), 25 rolls of Portra 400 (120 film) and my trusty Leica and new Hasselblad (thanks Jeroen) that I got for teaching a workshop in Amsterdam! I also share what else I carry with me when I am traveling for this expedition. A partial list of what I am bringing is shown below:

Bags

 Cameras/Lenses/Film

Electronics

Sorry for the audio sync issues, not sure what is the problem. Will try to sort it out next time!

Also thanks to support from my sponsor CSLR that helps me fund my travels! If you would like to support me and CSLR (a fantastic company) pick up a CSLR Glide Strap + C-Loop for your street photography. Curious? Make sure to check out my CSLR Glide Strap Review.

    Oh man! you did a workshop in Berlin when exactly? didn’t wanted to hear that I missed something like that… you plan on doing another one? ^^

    BTW, Eric. In German the Leica is female. So it would be “die” Leica. “Die” is pronounced like the English name “Dee”.

    Hi Eric,

    FYI: that “close up filter” for your Hasselblad is actually an extension tube.

    Happy travels.

    Awesome video!
    Just wanted to say that you could use Instagram with your Android phone too!
    Keep up the great work!

    Do you develop all of this film yourself?

    • http://erickimphotography.com/blog Eric Kim

      No – get my color film processed at Costco! They do a great job and scan (3500px wide) for only $5 a roll!

    Hey Eric, leaving the Ricoh GR1s at home? I think bringing that as your backup camera could shave down some of the weight further (vs an M6 body). Just an idea. Have a safe travel! :)

      Hey Nick – sent the Ricoh GR1s back to Bellamy to get a GR1v- love the camera a ton! Great idea, and thx for the message :)
