In your bag 701, David White
I always feel a sense of ‘what next…?’ after a big number bag. But I need not worry when people like David send in their wonderful bags. David is a returnee too. Come and check it out.
I’m back! I was #504, but that bag is now 100% Speed Graphic. I bought a new bag, from Oz who has a shop on Etsy, http://www.etsy.com/au/shop/LeftoverStudio I was looking for a travel satchel and bought this, which took longer than quoted so I contacted him, he told me that it had been raining so the goat leather wasn’t drying as fast as it should. I have no idea if that was true, but it made it a lot more special. It’s really beautiful.
In my new bag is my 501cm, bought new in 2001, with my name engraved on the side (probably a Hasselblad marketing ploy so I never sell it and keep turning over H’s for work!) 80mm, 50mm (good to see “distagon”making a modern day revival) , a Metz 45, with skyports, Sekonic light meter (which eats AAA’s) and a mini tripod, which I usually mount the flash to.
film is mostly tmax400, but I have a heap of old transparency in the bar/photo fridge I pull out sometimes. We are all going away this weekend for our first trip together to Tasmania (me, camera, wife, child & lots of film).
My website is http://www.davidwhitephotography.com.au/ and I still shoot lots of uninteresting things to put food on the table, but I love your site and escaping in it’s photographic purity.
Kind Regards
David White
Thanks for coming back to us David and sharing your bag again. I always love seeing how bags change. I love the leather bag too. I shall have to have a look at them.
Check out the links and make sure you come and comment.
Keep them coming folks, we need more submissions, so get your bag on Japancamerahunter.com. 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). Send the bag shots here. Please understand that there is a long wait now as there is a backlog of submissions. Not all make the cut, so make sure yours is funny/interesting/quirky. And please make sure the shot is of good quality, as the ones that are not do not go up.
Cheers

Not too obvious that you have cameras in that bag – which is always good.
Love the Hasselblad – you produce some great pictures with it too.
this is a wonderful and cool setup :) My next target is a 501CM .. maybe a few months later once i set my darkroom up. I don’t rely on the labs because it is too damn costly at Singapore.
And I also absolutely love the bag. Thanks a lot to provide the details of it as well.
Thanks for sharing David…nice kit and great photos!
You made me laugh so much with your last sentence ” and still shoot lots of uninteresting things to put food on the table….”
My very same set up in 1997! Minus the bag! Nice stuff!
