Want to see what the camera arsenal of a world famous photographer looks like? A photographer whose work fetches millions of dollars at auction? Check out the photograph above. It was shot by photographer William Eggleston for the Wall Street Journal, and shows just a portion of Eggleston’s extensive camera collection. Eggleston’s owns three cases filled with cameras, and this is just one of them. This particular case holds 13 different Leica cameras and a bunch of Canon cameras. The case itself is a leather briefcase that was retrofitted with wood panels. Here’s a closer look at the Leicas: Eggleston’s collection mostly comprises Leica and Canon cameras. In addition to standard issue models, the stockpile also includes rare limited-edition and custom-painted bodies. The photographer tells the WSJ that the collection “has grown into something of an obsession.” He currently has about 300 cameras in his collection.
