My kit contained the usual pro selection of camera and backup gear. I used a Rolleiflex as my primary camera, with a Leica IIIf as backup A and an Exacta VX1000 as backup B. I carried the usual collection of film, lenses, and photo stuff. But I also carried these things: * kleenex * various basic make-up items, including lipstick, foundation, and mascara * bobby pins, hair clips, safety pins, and straight pins * comb, hair brush, and hand mirror * double-sided tape (many uses, including lint removal) * silk flowers (if someone got a spot of food or drink on their outfit, common for children, I asked one of the adult women to pin a silk flower over the spot) * Tylenol and a small bottle of water * a few dark velvet cloths and a few white handkerchiefs. Sometimes there was an object that needed to be covered or concealed.
