1. Wet or arid
2.Cold or hot
3. Long days with lots of light in the savanna or perpetual twilight in the forest
4. Architectural, Cultural or Landscape or all of the above.


Camera Gear:
1. What camera - I will suggest if asked.
2. What lens(es) this will be affected by #4 above
3. What kind and how many cards to bring
4. How to download and create a safe image storage proceedure while traveling
5. Do you need to bring a tripod or a monopod
