Favorite place?  Where ever I find myself.  If I'm home I try to take photos
of things that make Florida unique, if I'm someplace else I take photos of
things that I don't see at home.

It's also fun/challenging to shoot sporting events.

Kelly:  The best place I ever was at for taking pictures was Hawaii.  I was
in the Navy and so I had a lot of time to explore the nooks and crannys of
the place.  However, one thing I have discovered largely from when I was
taking my NYIP course was that there are all sorts of places, even with in
one mile of your house that are worth taking pictures of.  The magazines and
travel shows will try to tell you that you need to go half way around the
world to get good shots.  There is beauty all over and whether it is new
babies or gals in the latest fashions or what ever, it is probably right
next door.  The trick is to train your eye to find it.  Ric in Wisconsin.

Really?

I tend to prefer to take pictures rather than 'participate in taking
pictures'.

Wherever I happen to be when I get the urge.

I'll know that when I've been there.

My girlfriend and I try to get to Manhattan once a year to do photography.

This year...since my daughter is getting married at about the time we go to
NY...
we will be skipping Manhattan. It turned out to be a blessing in
disguise...as we realized that outrown town
(Milwaukee) is certainly as great a photo opportunity as NY. It made me
realize that *anyplace* you are
is a great photo opportunity...it's just a matter of realizing it.

2 places...Kauai, Hawaii...lived on Oahu in the 80's while in the
service and just partied and paid no attention to the beauty...took my
wife there in '96 and managed to shoot 76 rolls of film in 12 days.
Poipu Beach was an awesome place to watch the sunsets...I shot every
sunrise and sunset while we were there, Oahu, Kona and Kauai.
#2 would be Manahattan. Spent 27 hours there in June of '02...shot 16
rolls...took a bike tour from NBC studios at Rockefeller Center, all the
way to Ground Zero...shot my best photo ever at Ground Zero...here's a
link to some miscellaneous pics and images...I love to shoot
architecture and perspectives...Manhattan is the greatest city I have
seen for this!

My favorite shot ever -I kept waiting for this kid to get out of the
way, and later realized I had shot one with him in it...made the shot
bigtime. http://members.aol.com/montwerx/heroes.jpg - I amno longer an
aol member, so not sure how long it will be there.

Hmm... I like doing nature shots. Experience-wise that's all kind of
similar that you are out there with no pressure free to sit down &
change lenses & get in strange positions looking like a freak. Then I
also like street shooting in the city but I'm much more self concious
there, prefering a smaller setup & quicker grabs, trying not to invade
people's space too much.

Is this what you are asking about?

My city shots are mostly in San Francisco and nature shots nearby or out
in the desert and sometimes overseas. As long as it's an interesting
place. Theoretically boring places could provide photo opportunities
though it's harder for me to be inspired. Sometimes I'll bring my camera
and just nothing really looks appealing at all. It's a matter of being
able to find something interesting to oneself and that's possible
anywhere, perhaps.
