I\u2019m a\u00a0Hong Kong\u2013based writer<\/a>,\u00a0photographer<\/a>\u00a0and diver. Each activity has a separate bag, but commonly used items are carried in a mesh pouch that moves from my briefcase to my scuba kit and the backpack that carries my photo gear. \u2014\u00a0Christopher Dillon<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

My briefcase is a WaterField Designs \u201cMuzetto<\/a>\u201d [pictured], the backpack is a 5.11 Tactical \u201cRush<\/a>\u201d and most of my dive gear fits into a Pelican \u201cAir 1615<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Johnson & Johnson oil control film<\/strong><\/a>. Perfect for unexpected video interviews and portraits.<\/p>\n

Audio Technica ATH-IM50<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0earphones tick all the boxes: Good sound quality, durable construction, comfortable and good background noise isolation. A wire \u201changer\u201d keeps them in position when you are in motion. Cheap enough that I don\u2019t worry about losing or damaging them. Japanese import.<\/p>\n

Zebra Airfit ballpoint pen<\/strong><\/a>. Pre-Covid, I used to travel regularly to Japan. No trip was complete without a visit to\u00a0Itoya<\/a>\u00a0to stock up on pens and other supplies. It\u2019s \u201ckid in a candy\u00a0store\u201d territory for me, because Japanese manufacturers\u00a0understand\u00a0the tactile nature of writing, even with inexpensive pens.<\/p>\n

The mesh pouch<\/strong>\u00a0was originally a Scandinavian Airlines in-flight amenities kit. The snap, which lets me hang the pouch from a loop inside my briefcase and backpack, was re-purposed from packaging from an underwater fiber optic cable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
