What’s in my bag

Matt Dunmore Photography — Sat, 15 May 2010 16:50:58 +0000

I have always liked to see what gear other photographers use, what they take with them, how they pack it, etc. So since I just acquired a new bag and I wanted to post pics of it anyway I figured this would be a good time to do it.

The new bag is a ThinkTank Airport International V2. Everything I heard about the bag was awesome so I finally bit the bullet and shelled out the cash for it. I have a couple big trips planned and thought it would be nice to have a good bag to make the them with me. It took me a long time to get it setup to hold everything that I wanted in there but in the end I am pretty happy. My requiredments were simple… A) Hold all gear while protecting it (nothing loose and flopping around) and B) Look nice and organized when you open the bag. I know the second is a little compulsive but what can I say?

So here is the list of what gear I have a nice happy place for inside the bag:

My dad sent me this picture of myself as a kid. I added a recent photo of Willem to the right. What do you think, is that my son or what?

Stockyards Championship Rodeo!

Yeeehaaawwww! What a great time. Went to the rodeo in Fort Worth TX tonight. It was only my 2nd or 3rd and Willem’s first. He was so happy there looking at all the animals. I think he like the horses best :)

Here are a few pics. I took a little video with our new Flip vid cam too but I have to still figure all that out and I may have to post a vid from there if I get it all figured out.

I must have been a fortune teller as a child. I have no idea when I drew this but my Grandma saved it along with a bunch of other stuff I gave her over the years. When we got together in August she gave me this gem and a few others. Looks like I never could spell ;)

Avalene Claire – 2 Months

Matt Dunmore Photography — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 03:30:21 +0000

Sweet little Avalene. She is my niece :) We tried to get some pictures of Avalene at our family reunion in WA a few weeks ago but weather and time kept working against us! I think we got a few good ones… we just had to wait a little while.

Kent Runs!

Matt Dunmore Photography — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 03:33:00 +0000

So my buddy Kent called me up a few weeks ago and asked me if I would shoot some pics of him running the Riverbend Fun Run 5k . Being the kind of guy that I am… you know the kind that likes to get up at 7am on a Saturday ;) I agreed to do it. I had a lot of fun and got a few decent pics even though I was having trouble getting the sleep out of my eyes! Congrats Kent.
