In your bag 710, Chris Despatie
WE have a really nice bag for you today. A great mix of film and digital, showing that they can get along in perfect harmony. Come and have a look.
Been following your site, and specifically the ‘In Your Bag’ section for some time now. I find it very interesting to see how other photographers approach their daily kit – be it professionals, amateurs or anything in between.
My name is Chris and I’m a 23 year old computer engineering student from Montreal, Canada. I’ve lived here all my life, but I’m looking to try to move to the west coast of the US once I graduate this spring – the weather’s beautiful, jobs are plentiful, and I need a change! I got into photography when I was in my first year of high school with my mother’s old Pentax K1000 and some B&W film, loved it, then dropped it until I picked up a Nikon DSLR about a year and a half ago. It’s been nothing but pictures since. :)
I love to do wildlife photography, especially birds, and I do offer my services for hire as a bit of money on the side to get me through school. As a result I’ve got a full Nikon kit in another bag. This one is what comes around with me 95% of the time I’m out and about in town, though, and it’s probably more interesting!

Thanks for sharing your bag with us Chris. Nice to see you shooting film alongside digital.
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
