As long as I never lose interest in photography, I'll be happy with the photos I've taken from wherever I may go. I have a really bad memory (I'm only 25, but feel like my memory is from a 80+yr old :rolleyes:) so taking pictures of places I go really helps me remember everything.

As far as places I want to see- hoover dam, grand canyon, I've never really traveled the US.

[kendickson]

1) Antartica
2) Nepal
3) Patagonia

[Tandem]

I've traveled over much of the western U.S. and to Alaska so for something different maybe Hawaii or upper Vermont/Maine in late summer and fall.

I don't have much of a desire to travel outside the U.S. unless Sports Illustrated wants to send me out to photograph the swimsuit issue or to the Olympic Games.

Havasupai, AZ It's the most amazing place to photograph. I've been there once and LOVED it!!! But I seriously need to go again!

Google Havasupai and you'll see for yourself. (It's right off of the Grand Canyon, but it's an oasis in the desert.) :D

Welcome to POTN...

You might want to wait a couple of years before you go back.

In case you missed it, there was a dam break above the falls last month or so and "they" say it could take 2 to 4 years before the falls are pristine again.

10s of thousands of gallons of muddy, silt laden water came blowing down the canyon and turned everything a lovely shade of brown... :(

Tandem, get a job.
I mean, find some small, local publication and see if they will let you get a pass with their name. You could pay the fees and let them use some of your photos.
Just an idea, good luck.
I'd like to go back to Xunantunich, Belize again.

[photoguy6405]

When I lived in Europe many years ago I had a camera but wasn't into photography. My selection of pictures is lacking, as a result. I'd like to go back for an extended trip and shoot seriously.
