Field Accessories

Below is a list of  “the important details” that go into a successful day in the field. The following greatly assist both my ability to capture the image (or find the subject at all), to allowing me optimize my color and light—to enabling me to care for my gear should something happen to any of it while out in the elements. Of course, I don’t carry all of these at once, but they are always kept either in my trunk, or in my backpack, for availability when needed.
