This might be the epitome of "Too Much Gear": but at least he is taking a photo! http://www.members.iinet.net.au/[email protected]/Toomuch.jpg
Not mine BTW - it was posted here some time ago, but I can't remember by whom...

I think Godfrey & Bob W. & all the other good PDML folks who have suggested less is more have given you great advice. I once carried all the gear I own in a backpack (with tripod) on a walkabout & I was so miserable & sore. Never again. Godfrey, posted some lovely reflections about a Canon shooter he met somewhere. It wasn't too long ago; you should be able to find it in the archives, but the gist was that Godfrey met a Canon shooter, asked what kind of stuff he'd been shooting that day, and the Canon photog said he hadn't shot much, he was sore from carrying 20 lbs of gear, and he was headed home. Godfrey, did I get that right? :-). Clearly, what's the point of lugging a bunch of gear if it keeps you from the pleasure of making photographs, which is the point of the exercise!
