Damn that's alot of stuff for three days

I am finally ready to head out to Mono Lake for my three day photo class.  I have slowly gathered all the stuff I needed to take over the past week.  Wow is that a big pile.  Clothes for 60 degree days ... clothes for 25 degree mornings.  A small camera case for my digital camera, a large photo backpack for my 35mm camera, and a really large photo backpack for my large format view camera.  Plus all the little stuff like a light table, samples of my work in print and in 4X5 transparencies (thus the light table), a film changing tent, 68 sheets of 4X5 film and 7 rolls of 35mm film, and on and on.  Plus a cooler with 3 days of lunch food.  Plus a flask of 21 year old Balvenie single Malt (can't forget the important stuff.)  So much for any thoughts I might have been having about not really needing an SUV as big as the Rover just for photo trips.

I am really looking forward to this trip.  I'm sure I will have a great time.  I'm also sure that I will very much miss my loving wife aleeceh and kellilorenz.  I am also very sorry that I will be missing a great party at the_misha and tiggrrl's.
