Trujillo Alto Photography  
San Juan, Puerto Rico
If you get a chance, take a walk at night with a group of people around the fortress area of San Juan. It is beautiful, and full of photo ops! We enjoyed a nice dinner at Barrachina's in the old town area.

Photos of the doors and windows in Old San Juan have been published to death...try and get photos of the gorgeous downtown with a new angle! I enjoy looking at street scenes in Old San Juan rather than individual buildings; you can often capture the pastel colors of the city better this way than by photographing individual houses.

US citizens don't need a passport to come here, use US dollars, and their cell phones will even work! I recommend Puerto Rico to springbreakers who either don't have passports or want to go somewhere a bit different. The beaches are incredible, food is delicious, and you don't waste time going through customs on the way home!
