I'm off to China in 3 days for a photographic tour. I'm going to try to use this blog to record my thoughts during the trip, and maybe to post a few images as well.

Today I started putting together all the bits and pieces that I have to take with me. As well as my photo gear, there seems to be a mountain of cables, chargers and other assorted electronic gear.

One of the biggest considerations is how to handle the storage of my images. I carry a small hard drive device that saves the images from the camera's CF card, but I'll be also saving the images onto another portable hard drive each night as a backup; there's too much invested in this trip to rely on a single drive containing all of the images. Imagine a drive crash on the last day.....
