Map Travel: The National Geographic is the prototype of the travel magazines which supply a good market for the roving cameraman. It is a good text for study before you go on a picture-shooting trip. If you can understand and can supply what they want at National Geographic, you should be able to sell to the other travel magazines, too.
The purely travel magazines represent only a narrow slice of the market for travel pictures, however. All the general magazines use travel material, too, in one form or another. A popular form is the picture story which deals in great detail with just one phase of life or one typical activity in any locality.My own awareness of economy in travel was built on a foundation of sheer necessity, eleven years of it in fact, for I plunged into a career —I hoped—of travel writing in 1928 and took my family abroad with me. I was just emerging from personal red ink to black in 1939 when the immediate threat of another great war drove us home. In those eleven years, necessity mothered a lot of invention in my travel strivings.
Passenger needs and diversions are so carefully provided for that it seems the plane lacks nothing except a shooting gallery. In the copious pocket on the back of the seat before you, is a big folding envelope containing a variety of travel helps, on the house. These include the Currency Converter I have mentioned earlier, a Time Selector, showing you the time in your home city and everywhere else in the world, a handbook on luggage, a booklet explaining the U.S. Customs rules, a booklet telling every imaginable fact about air travel and another one with specific tips about your touring in Europe, a book of world route map travels and a few leaflets on assorted company facts such as the PAA Universal Travel Plan, whereby you may travel anywhere in the world on a charge account. |
