In the Bag...

Friday morning my wife and I are heading to Guatemala for a week. Since I am not going there for work, I decided to shed some gear and only take what is pictured.

Equipment:
- Bag Paladin Mission Go Bag (Honestly one of the best bags Ive owned)
- Canon G12
- Olympus XA rangefinder.
- iPhone 4
- iPhone 5
- iPad (for email and editing)
- Card reader for iPad
- Charging cables
- 6 rolls of film (400 Neopan BW)
- Impact Mini Slave
- Flash light
- head lamp
- Chargers and Cables

And whenever I travel, I make sure I have my journal and a notebook.

This trip is a kind of short honeymoon, so my main concern is just having fun. I plan on spending my mornings wandering the markets and streets in Xela. This gear set up has treated me well for street photography in the past and is just so much lighter than my D4 rig. Ill be posting from the road so look out for some photos.

Hiding from the camera...

I always get a kick out of people hiding from the camera when I'm out on assignment. While I was covering a Juneteenth Parade this morning I ran into these two kids on a street corner James (right) called me over to take his photo laughing and dancing while his friend Jakayla pulled her blanket over her face. I'm pretty sure I heard a few words being mumbled to James  as I hung out snapping frames about how he was going to get it later.
