What's In Your Bag?

by Venice Photo Club

The Venice Photo Club is a camera community is West LA. This series profiles local artists, by talking about what everyone wants to know. What is in their bag? What gear do they use? We ask a series of 50+ questions that skim just the top. We shoot from the hip and cover a lot of ground. We learn what they are working on, and get all latest tea, and we get to the bottom of the bag.
