At heart, I’m really more of a Gizmodo than a Gawker, so this story really got me going.

Nathan Smith, Photo Editor emeritus, is handling the photography at the Rose Bowl for the Collegian. He posted a brief entry on the Exposure blog about the equipment he would be taking out to Pasedena.

I brought 3 camera bodies, a video camera, seven lenses, one doubler, two flashes, two mono-pods, and four chargers. In order to get all this equipment across the country, I put it all in my carry-on, a “Rollie” bag and my Domke bag. With all that equipment I also had to carry my Mac Book. I chose not to check anything to avoid losing a bag or damage to the equipment.

Cool. Really cool. Does anybody want to estimate how much all of the gear in this photo is worth?
