Introduction to the city trip

“

- [Voiceover] Travel photography is a great way to see the world. And it's a great way to take what you've experienced, what you've seen and bring it home and share it. We're going to focus on a city this time. A big city, San Francisco. Bustling, big, overwhelming. But we're going to take that city, and we're going to break it into one of its neighborhoods, North Beach. And by doing that, we're going to make it more manageable. And we're going to break that neighborhood down into people, places and food. Through the microcosm, bringing it down to its smaller parts, we're going to paint this bigger portrait. We're going to do this on foot. We've got three days. We're going to go from morning to night. You're going to see me going through alleys and up hills and into restaurants and into shops. So we're going to be shooting those iconic shots. The kind you see in the postcards and in the travel guides, the travel books. But we're going to do a lot more than that. We're going to also go in, and we're going to apply a kind of personal artistic vision to your shooting. These pictures are going to be much more interesting that way. So get on your comfortable shoes and lets get going.
