Traveling through Cambodia with a Contax G2 and Black and White Film

HP5 - Traeng Trayueng Cambodia
I finally bit the bullet and had a go at developing black and white film. Unfortunately my first try resulted in every mistake possible. Thankfully I was able to recover some of the ruined frames and on the whole I am super pleased with the results. I managed to get a Contax G2 Rangefinder camera just a few days before I left for the trip so I was shooting completely blind to the end result but credit to the mighty reputation this camera has – Every frame came out beautifully.

Check out the full article here: Pack Light and Travel Happy.

How do you fit a whole trip’s worth of luggage into a small suitcase or backpack? Simple: Bring very little. Whether you’re traveling for three weeks or three months, you pack exactly the same.

I must admit, I’ve been guilty of over-packing and on arrival home realise there are items I never even touched. I’m making a conscious effort to pack light on my next trip. Besides, I carry so many electronics/photography items, I need to cut corners somewhere right?
