Equipment Prep

Today we finalized the gear we are bringing, and we consolidated everything into as few cases as possible (8) - each under 50 lbs for travel.  Our travel arrangements are mostly set, and our itinerary is pretty much locked.  Although we originally planned to bring all our equipment with us, due to weight and luggage restrictions, we have decided to rent our grip and lighting gear in each country.  So now we are trying to finalize those plans.  Travel around the holidays is always a challenge, but international travel with camera equipment this time of the year is particularly restrictive.

Still, our journey will bring us to some amazing locations and I am looking forward to shooting all of them.

Sweden! Work hard, but have some fun too, and try to get your hands on some surstromming...you'll love it. Maybe. Maybe not so much.

All you'll need is a thermus...maybe a lamp.
