Tomorrow I’ll be flying up to the Bay area and to hang out with my good friend Jason. On Saturday we’ll be shooting what looks to be a fantastic wedding @ the Ritz Carlton. Here’s Christie & Joe’s e-session that Jason did a while back. Then early Sunday morning I’ll be heading back to LA to shoot Wendy & Richard’s wedding (no e-session) later that day that’s also looking to be pretty awesome.

Today, however…I have to pack, tie up loose ends at work, do my laundry, complete my pre-flight check-in, and go pick up a spare flash all while fighting back this cold i picked up yesterday. Boo hoo. It’s good to be busy, but I could have done w/o being sick. Here’s a quick iPhone snapshot of what I’ll be bringing:

This is all going to go into my new Think Tank roller bag, which is awesome. If you’re in need of a roller bag for your camera gear, I can’t think of a better bag. It’s got really nice features, such as a built-in cable attached to the frame of the bag that you can secure to stationery objects (i.e. speaker or table at a wedding,) big roller blade wheels, a built in TSA-approved lock, and tons of space. Plus it is small enough to carry on board most flights (I’ll be taking it with me to Puerto Vallarta for Richard & Maria’s wedding in November too.)

Here’s what it looks like filled up.

There’s still PLENTY more room. Not pictured is my new 5D and 35L F1.4 lens I bought recently. It was a great offer and if you’ll recall, I was talking about picking up another body for back-up purposes (although in this case, the 30D will be relegated to back-up duties now.)

I decided against the 5Dmk2 because it wasn’t worth it for me to spend that much money on just a camera body. I was able to pick up a slightly used 5D and the 35L lens for less than the price of the 5Dmk2. So, I think I did good.
