Take it out, bring it back

One thing that REALLY sucked about yesterday is that since I don't have a studio, I have to move my stuff every time I have a shoot. On some shoots, I don't bring much, just the camera and laptop. On most shoots, I bring everything. Here's a rough list:

Camera bag: (everywhere)
camera body 1 (+ 4 batteries) body 2 (6 batteries), (lenses) 70-200, 50, 17-35, 85, flash, (7) memory cards, misc tools (lint brush, lens rag, screwdriver, flashlight, notebook, pen, permanent marker and many other small items), iPod, card reader. When I shoot sports, I also have the 300 lens and a monopod.

Laptop bag: (nearly everywhere)
laptop, AC adapter, photo portfolio, a few magazines,

Blue tote: (most shoots)
(2) extension cords, power strip, roll of aluminum foil, bag of 25+ assorted spring clamps, misc props,

Other: (most shoots)
(1) black (1) white 6'x4' reflector, (1) 18"x24" white reflector, roller suitcase of white background, black background, black velvet cover, gray, white, red, purple material sheets, bag of jewelry props,

Silver flash case: (most shoots)
(3) Vivitar 285 flashes, (1) generic flash, (1) ceiling grid mount, (3) flash/umbrella mounts, misc tools, Gary Font Lightsphere II, (2) 4.5 volt wet cell batteries and DC adapter leads in bags, color checker/gray card, (2) gel packs, turbo air blower, (2) wireless transmitter/receivers (eBay), box of misc flash/trans/recv parts/flash cables, black and gray gaffer tape, velcro ties,

Maroon bag: (most shoots)
(2) light stands, (2) white umbrellas w/black cover,

Tripod bag: (most shoots)
cheap tripod, cheap monopod

Plus: (most shoots)
I bring a case of water, a few misc clothes I have picked up at trips to thrift stores, spare AA batteries, a binder of release forms (adult model, adult minor, property and an adult (short) model form). The short form is 1/2 piece of paper and has few words. Versus the long form is a whole piece of paper. I also have two beanbags and a simple wooden kitchen chair with a round seat and round back.
