In your bag 823, Joseph Abad Jr.
Seeing as I am in Hawaii at the moment, this bag is very appropriate. Joseph has a very cool designer bag for you all today. Come and check it out.
My name is Joseph Abad Jr. and I am from Honolulu, HI. I am a freelance graphic designer but photography is a serious hobby. My infatuation of photography started when I took a traditional B&W photography class at the local university here. I’ve bought several DSLRs and second shoot for weddings and random gigs that come my way. I rekindled my interest in film photography about 2 years ago with a Yashica Electro 35 GSN and immediately got the film bug. Looking into other rangefinders or SLRs, going to flea markets or thrift stores and eventually building up a little collection.
I love to document. My style of shooting is more journalistic, behind the scenes kind of thing. I always like to capture a scene that is real and uninhibited. I guess my interest in documentation came from seeing a Garry Winogrand exhibition at the SFMOMA in March 2013.
Now on to the bag!
Fujifilm X100
Leica M2 + Voigtlander Color Skopar 35mm f2.5 II + Voigtlander VC-Meter ver. 1 + Mr. Zhou Case + eBay soft shutter release + eBay leather strap
Ilford HP5+ 400
Herschel x Stussy bag + random pins
This set up is the shit (for me). Ever since purchasing the X100, it was perfect. The fact it had a OVF really made me feel like I’m using a rangefinder. I bought the X100 for my trip to the Philippines in 9/2013 and I’m glad I left the 5D Mark III at home. Anyways, I love the simplicity and quality of these cameras. 35mm is my favorite focal length! Just recently, I started getting back into developing my own B&W with some homebrew Rodinal / PaRodinal. Pictured is HP5 but I just got some Fujifilm Neopan 400 Presto and Acros 100 from a friend who just came back from Japan. Can’t wait to try those!
I am still planning to set up a proper website for my photography but right now I just put it on my Instagram.
That’s it! Hope you folks enjoyed it. I will definitely be back with another set up.

Thanks for sharing your gear with us Joseph. I hope we have the time to catch up whilst I am in HI.
Check out the link 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

that Winogrand exhibit was amazing. I saw it as well. Great kit too
What a lovely bag! The content, too.
Hey, that’s minimalism at its best!
Does Ilford’s 35mm film come in little bags now like the 120 stuff?
Thanks for the kind words guys! And thank you Bellamy for the feature, can’t wait to send another one in a week or so for my trip.
Silas, I recently purchased a 35mm roll and no they come in plastic canisters. The roll in the photo came from a 100 sheet box of Ilford photo paper that included 3 rolls of HP5+.
