How do you store your gear at home?

[keithwms]

I have several glass-doored cabinets; they are lovely, made of cherry.

And all my gear is scattered all over the floor. Always. You have to tiptoe around.

I have a few bags, one per format, and most of my gear is kept in these bags in a closet near the bed.

The exception is the Rolleiflex which is near my desk in it's new (to me) Crumpler bag. It used to be on a shelf near my desk, but this was when I was using a smaller bag for it.

The Rolleiflex is my favourite camera of the moment, so it's always in a place where I can grab it and go. The other bags are easily reached, and the equipment in them is stored with all the needed 'accesories' (film ;-) ) so that I can leave in minutes and be ready.

studio-metro type shelves for some of it ...
car-case for some of it.
bit bin for some of it.

not put away for some of it.

Mostly in a closet. I have a couple rubbermaid bins that bits and pieces go in. Cameras go on top.

However, stuff that I tend to use somehow ends up on the floor by my desk.

No, I prescribe to the Strewn-Hither-And-Yon method of photography gear cataloging and storage. Be it camera or darkroom. I know where it is. But everything does not have a 'place'.

I have a very precise storage method. It is called, "What drawer has some space?"

Except for the "new" need-to-test cameras, which are placed somewhere near my keyboard as a reminder (useless reminder until it warms up some).

In the UK a hutch is a wooden cage used to keep a pet rabbit in!

Strangely, it is that in the US as well, sometimes.

We have both "rabbit hutch" and "china hutch."
The details and materials of construction differ a bit.

A former post office roll around cash drawer storage unit.
6 well sealed drawers about 6" high & some silica packets.

Not enough room in the closet so I often take my nicer looking cameras out on 'display' - this is where those older tripods you find for next to nothing come in handy...

Something weird about a tripod that makes a camera look like its purposeful and not simply in the way, even though it really is more in the way now with legs than without - anyone else know what I'm bagging on about ?

I did that for awhile when I first bought the 5x7,got to worried some one would knock it over, and put it back in its case and put the case some where.At least it won't get accidentally pushed over.

I have two Storage Cabinets for cameras and lens, and another for some lighting stuff, spots, umbrellas, reflectors, and shelving for other photography gear. Room is dehumidified during summer.
