As a member of ASMP, I buy "PRO-Insurance" which is an arrangement with
Kemper Insurance via ASMP. I pay roughly $900 per year (cannot remember the
exact amount) to cover around $80,000 of equipment. This includes my office
equipment and darkroom equipment. The office and darkroom stuff is at a
lower rate because it is not portable.
