Would love to see some of your day of the dead pics. Since you are based in Canada & travel a lot, do you have any tips on dealing with Jet Lag? When I went to Nice I was discombobulated for over 2 days. Yet every tyme I went to Saudi, I was only out for a day or so. Just wondering & thanks for all you do!
Thanks for asking, it probably deserves its own article. The short answer is I'm adjusting my sleep ahead of time, before I fly out, and typically sleeping on the plane to get in line with my destination. Where possible, I'll also look to add a buffer day to give my body a little more time to get acclimated. Hope this helps ✌🏾
Only 6mm of variance between your M and Q3, it doesnt seem like a whole lot of variation there. Do these 'off the beaten path assignments' ever have you wondering if you should replace the Osmo Pocket for an Action camera?
I am on the fence on the Osmo Pocket 3 for a vlog camera, im told it is not very rugged.
P.S. what is your towel option? The most important travel item!
It’s the Q3 43 with the 43mm lens, bigger gap. And I’m on the fence about an action cam. The Osmo is more for voice over work when needed mic, or interviews. So it’s not being thrown around and the integrated stabilization works wonders.
Me packing for a photo trip, “just take everything” even though I know I won’t use 90% of it. This is based on bitter experience. If I don’t take it all, guaranteed to need something I don’t have. Signed, a very poor planner.
Nice kit. I'm very surprised that all fit in the 7L. That would be a squeeze for my 10L Pilot. Clearly you know how to pack those bags more efficiently than I do!
Content idea: Compare the 90mm Summilux with the 75mm Noctilux. The Gajan perspective would be good to hear.
Nice. I'm heading to SE Asia in a few months for 6 weeks and expect to pack even a bit lighter...21,35, and 50 plus my Q2 as a backup. I love that, even on a pro assignment, you know what you need and pack light.

Most of the time, I’m right there with you Jim, haha.
Save your time reading and picking and just “declare me the winner! Plus, I’m 79 years old so I’m short on time!😊👍

Would be an interesting comparison, I just don’t see myself having the time to explore that story in 2026. Thanks for reading ✌🏾
Very nice load out.

Nice! Safe travels Mark. Enjoy the journey ✌🏾
Excited to read about this assignment, and would love to have you back in Mexico City
Thanks man! It turned out to be a beautiful experience. And looking forward to being back in Mexico next spring.
