In your bag 998, Uel Lim
Well this is about as good as it gets really. A great bag, some camera porn and a shedload of film. What more could you ask for?
Check it out.

My name is Uel Lim and I’m a street and travel photographer based in Sydney. My primary bag is pretty simple and usually contains my M7 and a notebook. That said, I really love instant photography and have started to explore the world of medium format photography as well.

What’s in my bag:

1. Traveler’s notebook & pen – most versatile and customizable notebook I’ve come across.

2. Headphones – have come in handy on many a long bus, train or plane trip.

3. Playing cards – you never know when you may have a spare moment for a quick game of big 2.

4. Leica M7 (stealth dot haha) with a 50mm Summilux – stealth dot does pretty much nothing but make the camera look a little “cooler” in my opinion.

5. Extra Film! – For 35mm I mainly shoot Ektar100 and TMAX400.

Other cameras sometimes found in my bag:

1. Fuji Fotorama FP-1 – my pick for using current peel apart polaroid film.

2. SX-70 – my favorite polaroid camera, just wish film was cheaper!

3. Bronica EC-TL II – new addition to the family and quickly becoming an important member.

I also have a large stash of film chilling in my fridge just because it’s cheaper to buy in bulk.

My stash is currently made up of:

1. Lots of Ektar100 – finest grain and really saturated colours (love it for travel photography).

2. TMAX400 – usually pushed to 1600 for that extra speed and contrast.

3. FP-100C – relatively cheap polaroid film

4. FP-3000B – that speed!

5. PX70 – expensive, but what can you do.

6. Instax Mini – pretty fun film to experiment with even though it’s small.

I really love Japan and was recently there for a couple of weeks. While there I tried to capture a series of images that could immediately be associated with the culture that I saw all around me. Trying to describe or capture the culture of a city through photos is what I love to use photography for most. It’s almost like opening a little window for people to either recall what it was like to be there or experience it for the first time through a still image.
