gear

This weekend I'm heading to Steubenville St. Louis to photograph the weekend's events. There will be a wide variety of photo opportunities, from band shots/stage lighting, to outdoor portraits, to group shots and environmental shots. Thus, I will be needing almost all my gear to make sure I can have the versatility I need to get the pictures people want to see.

I'm going to try to document the whole process—packing up/readying my gear (in this post), getting outfitted with the equipment I need (once on location), processing photos, and then cleaning things up.

As you can see from the picture above, I pack relatively heavy. At least, for a solo photographer who doesn't do much commercial work :)

At long last, I've added a proper storefront to my website to facilitate purchases of different items I have been selling for many years... I typically get one or two orders per month for the Pro-Life bumper stickers I've made and sold since 2004, and instead of going through a lengthy back-and-forth email conversation to go over payment, shipping, etc., I figured a storefront would be much easier to manage.

The store is running on Übercart 2.x on my Drupal site. It currently has very few products, but I'm thinking of posting a couple other items here and there (such as old camera parts), so I can sell them in one place rather than on Craigslist, eBay, word-of-mouth, etc. Makes payment handling much easier as well!

What do you think of the store? Check out all the product listings.
