Wonderful advice... may I add that sketches come in handy also. My fave activity while out and about is to sit at a cafe and sketch my impressions of the sounds, smells, activity, etc. Things that a camera cannot capture properly sometimes. You don't have to be an artist to do it and helps motivate the "feel" of a place. Thank you for the article. Wonderful advice… may I add that sketches come in handy also.

Thanks Gregory. Incidentally, that's my hand writing in Ryan Libre's photo at the top of the article. Ryan and I were snow-bound in a cabin in Hokkaido at the time and the notes I'm taking in the photo turned into an article that was published in...Matador's Traverse Magazine. Here's the link to the story if anyone is interested: http://matadortravel.com/travel-writing/japan/travel-place/snowbound-april-fools-hokkaido-mountain-huts Terrific advice – I learned a lot.

It's an Olympus and comes with a USB cable that allows you to download your audio to a computer. It's been really valuable to me for interviews, capturing random ideas when I'm walking, and catching snatches of conversation- I'm an inveterate eavesdropper. Gregory-- Great article! Chrystine-

I got a recorder a while back and never could get into the habit of using and listening to it (if only apple had put one on the iphone). I think probably because I couldn't just download the data from it, perhaps I will try again, thanks. Scott Great post, thanks for the tips.
