Your Most Essential Non-photographic Gear - A Must Have

photopurist · 9th April 2005

Folks,

When I am shooting, I never leave home without my trusty Leatherman tool.

My boss keeps reminding me whenever I am packing his photo bag, make sure the torchlight (Maglite) is there.

My shooting buddy's (who is also my photo assistant) favourite MUST HAVE "tool" is a tennis ball-size Kushball attached one of the zippers on his photo bag. It is his lucky charm.

What's yours? I am sure this can be interesting.

My wallet and keys so that I can reach the place that I need to be at and come home later.

And also my handphone in case I can not find the place.

Just kidding
