Be careful where you use that one!!

What an interesting question... for me there is a life-long bucket list and a shorter, more realistic one. I’d like to travel to certain cities of the world, such as Tokyo or NY, Havana... shooting some film too.
I love Greece. Although I have visited a lot of places, my goal is to travel more and document the unique atmosphere of each village, landscape and spot. That’s what I consider to be a great printed album for my future kids to enjoy. As the world changes , it loses its character, so I wanna try capturing some folklore events while they still exist.
Another idea I work in my head is creating a project about all the remote churches I have/will visit. They fascinate me.

Just a thought for the OP. IN this case COVID may be your friend?
There is some interest in drag racing outside the US in Europe and Australia but with travel restrictions the normal journalists haven't been able to visit the US.
You may find that a magazine or web site in those territories would commission you to cover an NHRA event and provide suitable paperwork to persuade the NHRA to allow you trackside.

That, or one like it---I like Sportsmobile 4x4's---is my ultimate aspirational photography accessory. I always post that when responding to "What's your fave photo accessory?" threads.

Going on a proper wildlife photo safari.

Traveling through and recording life and architecture in small rural towns.

Doing a bit of motorsport shooting again. It's been a while.

I visited London twenty years ago, taking a few unimaginative tourist snaps. I would like to go back and rectify that.

Greenland
Mongolia
Svalbard

To have a photo posted on eBird for every species I have seen

Thinking more on this, I remembered another one. Old, abandoned places like factories and other industrial settings. My issue there is many of them are tricky to get into without being seen (and thus having cops called).

The trick there is look like you belong. You’d be amazed at how easy it is to walk into places when you have an orange vest, hard hat, and a clip board.

Mooncatt – You might want to use my yellow safety vest ploy. A high-visibility safety vest allows you to be almost invisible. You can go many places with no problem. I wander around railroad yards and often gets nods of hello, but no questions. Add a hard hat (dirty, not shiny new) and it is like you have a passport.

Around where I live (near Washington D.C.), that outfit might get you shot - the proper attire for abandoned factories would be mud in the hair with a suitably ragged pair of pants held up with a rope and a badly stained shirt with boots that don't fit correctly. Then, everyone will think you belong there, just one of the local residents.

I’d love to spend a couple months exploring west of the Mississippi, but I can’t justify that much time off work

[brightseal]

I can’t justify that much time off work

Quit!

[disconnekt]

Quit!

Or get a body-double to do the work, for however long it lasts 😂

I find that just exploring the area within 25mi. of my house is a pretty big job; over my lifetime, I've explored most of Virginia, and I still find places I've never been every week. I can't begin to comprehend the exploration of half a continent.

Come on, man, it's the 21st century. Get your own robot to do the work in your disguise!
