a hotel room for the first few nights
since you can usually find lodging
once on site at a much better rate

and storage cards, notepads and

James prefers to shoot at
daybreak or evening, the “Golden
Hours” and recommends using an
ND filter or fast shutter speeds for
mid-day shots. He’s working to have
his website up this fall to share his
ever growing collection from his
world travels.

1. Acquire a new Fuji XT2 camera

and weight of the DSLR and makes

a huge difference when packing)
2. Plan more trips based on location that will provide photographic
experiences geared towards his
style and interests
3. Find an overseas job that will
allow him to travel to various off
the grid locations, if possible with
the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) doing water projects
