Our Guest Editor, Rick Sammon, carries his gear in a large backpack. "I don't keep all my equipment packed away. I have two cameras on my shoulders at all times," he says. "And, I stuff some film, a flash unit, filters, a digital camera and a one-time-use camera in the pockets of my photo jacket—another important accessory."

Rick's kit includes:

		Lenses: 17-35mm zoom (for street shots and landscapes); 70-200mm zoom (for people and nearby wildlife), and a 50mm macro lens.
		KODAK E100S film (for people), KODAK E100SW (for wildlife and scenery) and KODAK E200 (for speed and low-light shoots).
		Plastic sandwich bags (for protecting film canisters).
		Polarizing, graduated and warming filters.
		Two flash units (one as a back up), a flash synch cord (for off-camera flash work), flash diffuser (for portraits), and a flash extender (for wildlife photographs).
		AA rechargeable batteries w/battery charger.
		Kodak DC4800 digital zoom camera, wide-angle and telephoto lenses, 192MB memory cards, extra batteries w/charger.
		Kodak Max HQ one-time-use camera (for grab shots to send to people I photograph).
		Mini-tripod.
		Small flashlight with headband for hands-free operation (great for shooting at night).
		Camera/lens cleaning kit.
