A post that considers both the T-4 and T-3 days.

 

Yesterday, a day mostly dedicated to the family, with a final shopping points in the way (some snacks to carry during the day and caffeine drinks for the driving 🙂 ). As I will have a very active next days, I will do all the packing  today. I don’t want to stay up late on the days before driving as it adds unnecessary risk to the mix.

Regarding research, a lot has been going on. As Luis Afonso well mentioned, we shouldn’t plan the images as we certainly won’t find the same conditions and/or places that were in action by the time the available images were taken. I use this research process more in the line of creating an inspirational path. By knowing which images already exist, I start to grasp the feeling of what type of images are possible and also, I’ll run away from copying them.

My goals are complete at this point:

  1. Have everything packed in advance to avoid a stressful evening prior to departure.
  2. Be comfortable with the location of the technical articles as my backpack suffered a complete reshufle
  3. Have a list of the last items that will be added just before departure:
    • films
    • drinks
    • keys, documents, etc
  4. Have a good understanding of what has been photographed in the area to help me create a mood and structure to my own process

regarding this post series, I’m planning to put out a new post prior to departure and from then, I will move to a facebook/tweeter format. Will update whenever possible, which will only happen during the breaks. We’ll see how it goes with another series  of posts about the trip itself 😉

Packing: DONE! this is a late entry in the post series as I was working on the packing till late
Still decisions, Thanks to fabulous contributions and messages in my facebook page, the topic around what equipment to take is
The screening process of what to take, at least for me is a hard one. I don't want to take
