In your bag 1073, Jack Huang
Jack shares with us not only his bag, but his hands and what looks like a very good book. Check it out.
My name is Jack Huang. I’m currently studying in Vienna, Austria as an architecture student. I picked up photography when I had the assignment of analysing Garry Winogrand’s work. Photography then became another way for me to explore myself while at the same time, explore something other than architecture.
Since I was born in Taiwan but left the country at the age of 2 to live in Africa and Europe, my brother and I are constantly trying to find our place in these two continents. A frequent question we have to our mother is if we should view ourselves as a ‚台灣人’ or a ‚外國人‘?I believe this is why I photograph the most during my travels, may it be a new city, country or even Taiwan.
I don’t own a digital camera, except the one on my phone. I don’t really enjoy it, so I thought I would use our library scanner to scan the stuff I usually have on with me (the book changes time to time). I carry the Konica Big Mini BM-201. A compact camera is all I need. Since the weather has gotten colder, I’m able to fit all this in my coat. The nike gym bag will be unfolded and used only if I need to carry something that won’t fit in my coat.
You can find some of my photographs on my tumblr: http://jckhng.tumblr.com/tagged/film/
Cheers,
Jack
Thanks for sharing your bag with us, Jack. That is a fascinating way to grow up, so many different cultures.
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

I love the minimalism of this bag. Even more, I love to discover new cool cameras! I thought it was a Contax camera that one :)
Great philosophy and photos!!
Man, I LOVE the Big Mini BM–201. I used to have a mint one, but it’d fall down on a parking ground at the beach in Scheveningen, Netherlands. Since them, I’ve bought 2 other ones, but both of them had “failures”, so I’m still trying to replace the first one properly. ;) Nice shots on your Tumblr!
Is it just me? Isn’t your phone, camera and book skewed?
I love your minimalistic penchant too.
ah, purposely moved my hands a bit when the scanner scanned the objects. i like how to skews everything :)
