Which 10 photography-related items would you take to a desert island? This is the question I asked Theo Panagopoulos recently.
Theo is a talented Sydney photographer, one of the hosts of the Camerosity podcast, and also has his own excellent camera review blog photothinking.com. It was wonderful to hear his 10 items as we progressed through our chat - not surpisingly his Mamiya 7 featured heavily in the mix!
Of course my idea for Desert Island Cameras is a rip off of the long running BBC radio Desert Island Discs.
Desert Island Camera rules
Here are the rules for this segment:
You can bring 10 items to the island.
The first 8 items you can either be cameras or films. You could choose 4 cameras and 4 films, 7 camerass and 1 film, 1 camera and 7 films, or any other combination.
For every camera you bring, you must also bring film for it. That is, if you bring an SX-70 as item 1, you will also need to bring SX-70 film as item 2.
You must have owned or used all cameras and films you mention. No dream or white whale cameras here.
The 9th slot is for a photography-related book.
The 10th and final slot is a luxury photography item not covered by the above.
