More descriptive breakdown:
Cameras:
Nikon D100 w/ vertical grip: my first DSLR, keep it as a back-up
Nikon N65: The $10 camera. $5 for it and a 28-80 kit lens I recently sold, then got the bottom grip off eBay, new, for $5 so it now uses AA batteries instead of expensive "photo" batteries.
Nikon D7000: does it need an explanation?
Lenses:
70-300 VR G: Great outdoor sports and whatever lens. Good indoors for things that aren't moving much. Also good for portraits, really sharp and its lightness makes it an ease to shoot with.
50mm 1.8: must have. indoor sports, majority of my portraits, stupid sharp and stupid small. Its kind of a pain in my big bag, it likes to hide.
Flash:
SB-600: I use it a lot more now that I have the D7000. Use some for indoor sports, and love playing with the wireless on the stand.
Stands:
Targus tripod: it was $15. works ok for when I need it, which is almost never.
Light stand: don't know the brand, but for $16 on eBay, it is awesome. Lightweight and extends to 8', supports a speedlight or studio strobe, and rubber feet so it stays put.
Miscellaneous:
Have taken a few film classes, so I have some leftover, and with access to the labs, I enjoy shooting a roll every once in a while. Currently have 3 rolls of b&w ISO 50 and 2 rolls of b&w ISO 1600. Picked them up for fun, just to see how they turn out. A few rolls of expired color 200 and 400, picked up at garage sales, usually looks like crap, but kinda cool at the same time. 3 rolls of 100 "lomo" film. Still haven't tried these.
Batteries are obviously a must. Don't use rechargeable except when I know I'm gonna be using AAs a lot, they loose charge within a few weeks, leaving me with no flash when I need it. Have 3 batteries for the D100 and 2 for the D7000. I could shoot for weeks with 2 EN-EL15s.
Filters I thought would be cool to have at one point. A polarizer that I hate, a 4x "close up" that is fun to play with, and a few UV filters that have come with lenses that I have purchased and sold. I hate filters because they glare so bad, and no way am I paying $100 for ones that won't.
My notebook is well worn, lots of random names in there. Actually I cleaned it out not too long ago.
Cards and reader is obvious.
The bag: A gift from my parents in high school, has my name embroidered on the front and HS logo on the top. Used it for sports when traveling. My amazing wife made some foam dividers and lined it so all the gear is well protected. The small stuff goes in the front pocket, film and filters in the left side, and notebook, pens, planner, and usually some snacks in the right. The big gear in the middle, obviously. Cool thing about it is my 13in Macbook fits on top and snugly under the handles, so I tote that combination around campus fairly often.
The random stuff on the table I didn't notice until I uploaded it. Oh well.
So there is what is in my camera bag!

MoMA December 2011. Four Panels #1
Panel for Edwin R. Campbell No. 1
Vasily Kandinsky (French, born Russia. 1866-1944)
1914. Oil on canvas, 64 1/8 x 48 3/8" (162.6 x 122.7 cm).
A series of four canvases was commissioned by Edwin R. Campbell, founder of Chevrolet Motor Company, for the entrance foyer of his Park Avenue apartment.
In 1913, Kandinsky coined the expression "nonobjective painting" to refer to painting that depicted no recognizable objects. Although preliminary studies for one of these paintings suggest that Kandinsky had a landscape in mind when he conceived it, he ultimately envisioned these works as free of descriptive devices. Kandinsky stressed the impact of color and its association with music, explaining that "color is a means of exerting direct influence upon the soul. Color is a keyboard. The eye is the hammer. The soul is the piano, with its many strings."
This painting is one of a lush and vibrant suite of four canvases produced at a time when artists in several countries were beginning to explore what Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstract art, called "nonobjective" painting—painting that showed no immediately recognizable objects. Instead, Kandinsky wanted each of his works to be "a graphic representation of a mood." Studies for one of these paintings suggest that he had a landscape in mind when he conceived it, and we might still see in all four works a field, a mountain, or a cloud; but they are much transformed. Similarly, if these works do indeed describe the four seasons, as one scholar has guessed, then their colors and abstract shapes respond to some quality sensed in the year's phases, rather than to any specific scene.
Edwin R. Campbell, who commissioned the series, was an automobile executive, who had the works made to fit the walls in the entrance hall of the New York apartment he shared with his wife, Margery.
Unfortunately, the couple separated in 1921, and the paintings separated too, being divided into pairs, and passing through several different collections; they were permanently reunited at The Museum of Modern Art in 1982.

Book Description:
An unprecedented academic undertaking toward the Indian sub-continent's history, this landmark publication presents a timeline of the Government of British India's materials as well as historically important events and news, relevant to Mashraqi and his Khaksar Tehreek (Khaksar Movement). It contains descriptive information on the secret and private correspondence of the Secretary of State for India, Viceroy of India, Provincial Governors, and other high officials. It also includes descriptions of classified and confidential documents and intelligence and Provincial Governors' fortnightly reports. This work is among the most comprehensive chronologies ever created on the subject and caters to researchers, historians, educators, authors, journalists, students, movie/documentary makers, and the like. It is complimentary to the other chronologies already published by the editor and should be used in conjunction with those works: 1. Pakistan's Freedom & Allama Mashriqi: Statements, Letters, Chronology of Khaksar Tehrik (Movement), Period: Mashriqi's Birth to 1947. 2. Pakistan's Birth & Allama Mashraqi: Chronology & Statements, Period: 1947 - 1963.
About the Author:
Nasim Yousaf is an independent scholar and historian whose research primarily focuses on the role of Allama Mashriqi and the Khaksar Tehrik (also known as the Khaksar Movement) in the independence of British India.
The author comes from a famous family in Pakistan; he is a grandson of Allama Mashriqi, who played a pivotal role in bringing independence to British India, and a nephew of Dr. Akhtar Hameed Khan, a world-renowned social scientist and pioneer of microcredit/microfinance. The author has written numerous books and articles on South Asian history, presented papers at the New York Conference on Asian Studies (NYCAS) in the USA, and participated in related seminars and meetings. He has a diversity of experiences – first, as a Commissioned Officer in the Air Force, then as a successful businessman and leader in the business community, and now as an independent researcher.
The author’s wealth of experience and knowledge has enabled him to bring unique insights and analysis into the independence of British India. Through his extensive research, the author has uncovered a number of hidden facts behind British India’s partition and exposed the myths that surround the independence of Pakistan and India. Furthermore, he has brought to light Allama Mashriqi’s most critical role in the independence movement. According to the author, the partition of India in 1947, based on the theory that Muslims and Hindus should be divided into two separate nations (Two-Nation Theory), was flawed and promoted for vested political interests. The author is a passionate believer in unity, regardless of religion, class, caste, color or creed; he hopes that the people of Pakistan and India will learn from mistakes of the past and unite to end animosity in the region and bury the possibility of nuclear war.
In addition to works on Allama Mashriqi, the author has also written on Dr. Akhtar Hameed Khan’s innovative methods to eradicate poverty and pioneer microcredit/microsavings through the Pakistan (now Bangladesh) Academy for Rural Development in the early 1960s and the renowned Orangi Pilot Project in the 1980s.
Finally, the author has used his extensive experience in international business and travel across Asia, Europe and North America to author four books on international trade. These books provide entrepreneurs with the practical resources to setup, operate, and expand their import/export businesses.
The author has been engaged in his exhaustive research since 1996 and currently has a number of projects in progress.

Artist Bio: William Mortenson, (1897-1965) lived a quiet and secretive life but made quiet the impact on the art community, especially in the world of photography. Joseph Bellows Gallery described his art as combining "the notions of classical art and literature with the allure and phantasm of Hollywood." Mortensen had a studio in Laguna beach California and often made his living taking photos of Hollywood stars including Fay Wray, Cecil B. deMille and Marlene Dietrich. He later took promotional photos for L.A Sunday Times creating dramatic scenes with actors in costume. He was a master of lighting and wrote manuals on the subject along with the problems of posing. His developing techniques were unique and his alternative process often included manipulating his photos with razor blades or carbon pencils. His photos tended to be more adorned and dramatic challenging the concepts of the up and coming "purest" movement of the time. Many regarded Mortensen as the enemy of photography, treating his photos as a threat (perhaps to common sense), and excluded him from the elitist art communities. His photography fell out of favor with the masses and his career slipped away. Nude with Clock is one of many studio pictures taken by Mortensen. This image with the over sized clock and the woman stretching luxuriously reminds me of a combination between Salvador Dali and a Hollywood stage setting. The subject matter is both whimsical and bizarre.

Bawali is a non - descriptive village near Budge-Budge, south of Calcutta. During the eighteen century the Mondals of Bowali built several Temples & Mansions in Bawali, turning it into a temple town.
But the Mondals have long lost their fortunes and their mansions and temples were in utter neglect.
In the last couple of years an initiative have been taken up turn the Bawali Rajbari into a heritage hotel.
A few of the rooms are already ready for guest but a lot of work is still in progress.
This photo shows one of the drawing room of Bawali Rajbari.
A blog entry titled "Bawali Revisited" will be coming in my blog soon.

From the descriptive sign, believe what you will:
The Michael Ley Line runs from St Michael's Mount in Cornwall, passing through sacred sites such as Glastonbury Tor and the Avebury stone circle, it sweeps through Southern England in a west/east direction up to Bury St Edmunds and then finally on to Hopton before heading out to sea.
In the 1980s it was discovered that the Michael Line intertwined with the Mary Line bringing together two distinct paths of the earth's energy. Together these Lines are sometimes known as the Dragon or Serpent Line.
The Mary Line passes through Botesdale and the Michael Line runs from Thornham Magna to Eye, travelling through the gate of this sculpture. The Line also passes through other sites in Eye including the Castle, Church and Priory ruins before continuing its journey on to Hoxne.
The sculpture represents two birds; the White Eagle found at the top of the crest for the Borough of Eye, and a Swan commemorating the Black Swan public house of which this car park was once a yard.
It was created using two halves of one oak tree from Burgh-next-Aylsham in Norfolk and a piece of sweet chestnut from Copperas Wood in Essex.
