Photo Schedule & Trip Itinerary

Hi friends, welcome back to my blog. Now that I have complete a fair amount of research and have made many major decisions for my magazine, regarding the genre, content, and general layout, I must move on to the next step. The time has come for me to begin the process of taking the pictures that I will include in the very first issue of my magazine, 'Tropical Travel.'

For this long-awaited process of taking my photos, my main focus is on the locations, as these are the models for my magazine, seeing as it is indeed a travel magazine. I decided that I would not focus on including any specific products or individuals, however, I do expect that there will be some people in the pictures I take of certain travel destinations that are heavily populated by tourists. Before I get off topic, I should also mention that in order to clearly plan my photos, which revolve around locations, I must know the exact locations I will have access to while on my trip to Puerto Rico, so that I may prepare to photograph these spots. 

Today I am creating and outlying the schedule for my trip to Puerto Rico, which in two weeks. I talked with the family members that planned this group trip to find the locations that I will be visiting. I also spoke to my aunt whose family is currently residing in PR. She was able to tell me information about the places we were visiting and was instrumental in planning the itinerary. My aunt was able to inform me on what to expect and what places would be greta for photos. Below I attached the outline of our trip, which is packed full with different excursions and activities. I'm so excited to go to PR, and even more excited to gather great photos for my magazine!
