On a regular basis: The Sierra Nevada from Yosemite to the Northern Sierra Nevada Mountains and the California Coastline. However, the trip of a lifetime for me was visiting Kenya last summer. Going on a Safari certainly could be described as a Photographer's Paradise.

Have lived on every continent but Antarctica, which I've no desire to visit. Slovenia was paradise. Australia in second place and Taiwan in third.

Hudson valley, first it is right out my front door. Second is that we have only lived there two years ago still exploring. Have not fallen into the trap that you see it every day so you don't know what you have.

Landscapes are not my primary interest; candid photographs of interesting looking people are, so India and New York City.

I've shot in Arizona (Grand Canyon), Nevada (Lake Mead and Hoover Dam, Las Vegas, and various areas including railroading), Colorado (especially old mining areas and logging/mining trains (Cripple Creek for instance), Pennsylvania (all over from Philadelphia to the old rail roads and western PA), Connecticut and New England (sea shore, all of the areas from New Haven to Hartford and from Bridgeport to Mass. Oklahoma, Texas Kansas, Missouri (especially the St Louis area) and all of the way to the east coast. Washington DC, and all of the east coast down to Key West.
My favorite for wildlife and general photography is the Florida area because I have so many venues (from beach and sea to woodlands and everglades) to shoot in, and the weather is decent for shooting year round. Plus, living in Clearwater, I have lots of subjects within a 1 hour drive in any direction.

The pre-civil war Guatemalan Highlands. Now society has been disrupted and crime is at a terrible level. You used to be safe traveling on a local bus from village to village, taking photos of the challenging life of these agrarian folks, the fantastic marketplaces, and the colorful hand-woven fabrics.

Surely the answer is 'all around you'.
As far as I personally am concerned, I could take chocolate box photos of a mountains, or trees, or whatever, every day of the week - and they ultimately don't really mean much.
But if I take a photo of something really mundane, like passengers getting on and off a bus in a local street, in 20, 30, 40 years time that photo will become a little moment in time caught on camera - whereas the chocolate box photos of mountains or trees will still mean just as little (and there will be 1000's of better ones taken by other people anyway!).

My paradise is my lab. No matter where I travel, what I photograph, those photographs return to my lab for processing. Locked away in the solitude of my lab is heaven. The world is out there somewhere. Some of it is captured on the latent images on which I'll be working. There are no phones in the lab, just processing equipment, computers, peripherals, etc. What could be more heavenly than getting away from it all and doing something one loves?

I love wildlife, so Africa is my photography paradise! Botswana is hands-down my favorite, but Tanzania and Kenya are pretty awesome too......
