Description: Jim will share lessons he’s learned in planning his photography trips and hauling photography equipment all over the world by land, sea, and air. Much of this amounts to common sense, but can be easily overlooked, some will be less obvious, and some reflect hard–won experience. Taken together, these tips and recommendations can help make your photography trips less stressful, more productive, and more fun. A handout will provide links to useful references where you can follow up on important recommendations.
