Today is 30 days until I get on the airplane… 31 until I get off.
I am starting to make metal lists of must haves to pack, and nice to haves. At some point I will write it down… maybe
I have purchased new walking shoes, which I need to break in. I would like to take my hiking boots but they are heavy and not the most fashionable. They are in the nice to haves list.
I am revising my equipment lists, and thinking about different lighting techniques with what little gear I will take ( I would like to take more but I have to be realistic, most of my travel will be by train and subway… my normall lighting kit won’t work)Â more on this in postings under photographic planning and testing. I need to figure out more about this.
My host and I have been talking alot about what he needs from the trip, what I can do in my “free” time. I have been studying maps, (google street view is great) listening to podcasts with “survial phrases”
At this point I am really open to suggestions as to things I should think about… both to take and what I should do to prepare for the trip.
