So what will I bring with me:
-My Leica M6 non-ttl of course, my main camera, simple, wonderful, solid.
-35mm summicron & 28mm elmarit v3. Ok I know a lot of people prefer to have 28+50mm or something more different but I love the differences of those 2 beautiful lenses, about the contrasts, the greys, and really, 35 and 28 aren’t the same thing…
-Ricoh GR1S. I like it, always with me, in my pocket. I’m always surprised by some shots made with this amazing camera. No more LCD, sometimes I don’t have any informations in the viewfinder, but what a lense…
-Horizon 202. This cheap panoramic 35mm camera is wonderfull, I take it with me but I’m not sure to use it for this project :)
-Leica SF20 flash. Nuclear explosion = flash… ^^didn’t take it with me last time, I have to try somethings.
-Fuji Instax: I love to give images directly to people I meet. And the new monochromes instax images are great.
-50 TriX 400. Ok, I prefere to carry to many than to search for a trix to buy in Sahara….I’ll shot them from 400 to 3200.
-pencils
-moleskin note book, full of contacts and writings from my first travel in Reggane (place were some essais were made)
-lenscleaner
-3 washi W on japanese washi paper. I have to give a try, perhaps in my Horizon 202.
-Passeport
-Batteries !!! Ok, the temperature there will be between 38 and 50°C, so batteries will not long to much.
-Stephen Hawking’s book about the universe, cosmology, black holes… best place to read it is in a dirty bus in the desert.
Here is a link to a video of images and music I play of the first trip:

Bye !!!
Thanks for dropping in, Gregory. Interesting project combining your two passions. Best of luck!
Keep them coming folks, we need more submissions, so get your bag on Japancamerahunter.com
Send me a high resolution image of the bag. Optimum size is 1500px across. Please ensure there is a bag in the shot, unless you don’t use one. The more you can write about yourself the better, make it appealing and tell us a story. Snapshots of your gear with a camera phone and no words will not be featured.
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

Your lens combo is not so strange. The National Geographic photographer David Alan Harvey at one time worked exclusively with a Leica M6 and the 35 & 28mm lenses. He shot the photo essay about Cuba and NASCAR racing with that kit.
Good luck with your project. Good shooting & stay safe.
Thank you Dan !
In fact this travel is already done, I’m going back there to finish the project Monday with the same bag, without the horizon 202 but with an Hexar AF + red filter ;) !
bye !
