Midori Traveler's Notebook sitting on top of my Minolta XK all ready to go on another adventure. The Midori TN is an awesome little notebook for documenting all my outdoor escapades. Well worth buying.
Every few years I take a picture of the contents of my bag. Ultimately my goal has been to have more with less volume. Probably not succeeding yet.
So I decided to give this a try because I'm nosey and I've been stalking people's stuff on and off since this whole 'what's in my bag' thing started :)
Lie Fhung: First of all, I am in love with the Midori Traveler's NoteBook! I admire the practical concept and the beautiful leather cover. I love the fact that Midori keeps it simple to give us ample rooms to personalize it.
I love the linen pouch as well! I'm using it to carry (and protect) my copy of the Traveler's NoteBook along with my pencil case where I keep all my sketching essentials.
THE COVER:
I customized the cover with stamped images using both my own home-made stamps (the floral swirls) and store-bought ones (the wings), applied with Staz-On permanent ink for lasting impression.
I also added an extra bookmark personalized them with my own-made ceramic bead (the heart) and store-bought elements (the metal, silver and glass bits).

Homage to Ian Fleming
atelier ying, nyc.
Most of the history of photography has been invested in the fantasies of the photographer (Hasselblad, Leica M-system, Minox, Contax, etc) therefore fantasy camera design really isn't so out of the ordinary nor unnatural.
With due attention to the latest Bond fantasy "Skyfall", I've managed in my series (this is the 6th installment) to give the Post Cold War J. Bond more peaceful yet still fantastical adventures. 'Bond as diarist' should give the common man more fodder for vicarious daydreaming. It certainly allows for my daydreams as quartermaster.
Q meets B at a museum and presents him with the exact same locked gun case except that it contains a customized Midori Traveler's Notebook in black crocodile skin and royal blue lining, a pen case that holds two italian fountain pens and a bottle of a rare blend of Italian ink. This camera bag has much more items than the kit that is given to Bond in Skyfall, but Bond's activities are much less dangerous for the proposed design so there is a balance here.
Upon closer inspection and under the protracted tutelage of Q, we learn that this writing & sketching kit is much more versatile and worthy of being a Homage to Ian Fleming, so please pay attention as this set of gadgets works together synergistically (so little of the kits in Bond films did so over the years).
Two Italian Delta fountain pens come with their leather pen holder. One of them contains a camera obscura with film (otherwise known as a pinhole camera) and Zantac pills to calm the nerves and reflexes of the shooter. The other fountain pen contains a signature seal and a radio speaker for an iPhone!which should be wired with special MI-6 apps. The Midori traveler's notebook has a holder for photographic prints, a set of calling cards (much more civilized than using crude pick up lines), a Gossen Ombrux Leica light meter, a training practice device for edge sorting in casinos during Baccarat, special postcards to send to MI-5 that can go in the regular mail and that can be detected instantly, compartments that hold lead inserts so that the notebook can be used as a bullet-resistant shield or an old-fashioned but very effective bludgeon, and finally a portable IV kit for emergency medical care. Everything is replaceable in this kit except for the ink bottle which is actually a commemorative souvenir item. The bottom half of the bottle is a quasi-kaleidoscope that allows a lava lamp sort of view of an endless ocean bottom with "Bond film trailer" aquatic shapes of maidens that have lulled our fantasies since the last century. The lid of the ink bottle flips up to expose the eyepiece and a relic: a tiny key from Ian Fleming's own gold typewriter.

I saw the traveler's notebook on Patrick Ng's photostream and fell in love with it. I just had to have my own one. And I had to have those brilliant leather tabs Patrick came up with. Mine aren't quite finished yet and look nowhere near as perfect as Patrick's, but hey, they get the job done. Have a look at perfect leather tabs at Patrick's. Thanks Patrick for the inspiration!
