Inside Jordi Mallol i Comas’ Camera bag! (Bag No8)
Hello Street Hunters,
I’m Jordi Mallol i Comas, from Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Married, two youngsters. I run my own company (translation services). I like cooking, making bread from time to time, making mermelades with fruits of the season. I love rock and blues music, I’m a fan of Southern rock, Delta blues, California rock. My favourite group is Lynyrd Skynyrd, but big fan of Neil Young, Jimmy Hendrix, Eric Sardinas, Dikinson brothers, Lou Reed, Eric Clapton, Allman Brothers, John Mayall, and an endless etc…. I like Japanese literature (translated into Catalan or Spanish, of course), but I also love southern literature, of Faulkner, McCullers, etc. I’m also interested on the WWII, the Holocaust, post-war period. I’m a TV series maniac and I love cinema. I exercise one hour of elliptical trainer (machine) every day and run 8-10 km once a week. Enjoy skiing in winter and fishing in summer. I love to walk, either in the city or up at the mountains.

Rules of participation
Each person that submits the contents of his bag will also be allowed 150 words to describe her / him self to the rest of the StreetHunters.net Readers via the www.streethunters.net website pages! We will even allow one link, back to your website! It will be loads of fun! Why? Well, because we will start to get to know each other through these small 150 word descriptions and of course through the contents of each one’s bags! Now, when we say Camera Bag, it doesn’t have to literally be a bag. It could be a pouch, a backpack, pockets of a jacket, whatever. All we need is the list of all the contents and a photo of those contents on a wooden or carpeted (preferably) floor from above.
What must be included in the email you send us?
Here is the list of things you need to provide us with in order to have a valid entry:
- 150 word description of yourself and your Street Photography quirks, habits, tips, whatever. 150 words MAX.
- Photo of the contents of your bag and your bag next to those contents on a floor, shot from 90 degrees above. High quality, big size.
- List of items included in your camera bag.
- Link to your website OR blog OR facebook page OR GooglePlus page OR whatever.
- A closing remark 20 words MAX. You can say for example something like Thank for letting me share the contents of my bag, now stop looking into my privates and go take some photos!
We thank you in advance for your participation and we are really looking forward to finding out what YOU are hiding in your camera bags!

Jordi, I looked up the Sony camera, looks very interesting, and waterproof too?
Can you gived us an insight into when you use each of your cameras, and why?
Great to see this series of camera bags developing on the SH blog…
We are truly happy you enjoy this weekly series Dan! Hey, why not send in your Camera Bag too!? We would love to share it with the world 🙂
Stay Sharp & Keep Shooting!
I’ve been considering it for a while… 🙂 Just want to figure out which camera(s) out of the 15(ish) I have to feature in the photograph! I should just go for the ones I use most right now, which I can narrow down to two. I can always submit another one when that changes months down the line!
Sounds like a fine plan to me Dan!
Hello Dan, I usually shoot with the Fuji x100 at the street, open spaces, etc. This little Sony (DSC TX-5) is very useful in “closed spaces”, as metro, bus, parties, you can shoot with only one hand (AF, Program mode) and it’s very helpful when you are trying to be unnoticed. Another feature of the Sony is that it only works on JPG files, not RAW, with very good results on B&W and shadowy pictures. It’s waterproof (5 mts underwater), but I’ve never used it under the water, just on rainy days or while snow-skiing. And it still has the sticker on it, because I bought it with my brother, who also bought the same camera, and this way we could distinguish them both.
Come on! Send your camera bag to SH, I have two Nikons with several lenses, a new Fuji and my iPhone for Instagram, but just use this two for streethunting, so pick up a couple CLICK and SEND !! ;-))
Thank you for your interest!!
