The places I would choose go to, I have already been too, but can't go back to. I would love to go back to
1. My fathers father's place each autumn at the end of corn picking in the loess hills of western Iowa where my folks and uncles and cousins gathered for oyster stew and talk.
2. I would like to be able to go back and listen to my maternal grandmother and other of my Irish descended cousins spin stories such as children in the family being kidnapped by gypsies and accounts of living in dire poverty.
3. I would go back to my home on an Iowa farm where every morning, noon and night, my mom and Dad and my four brothers all were around the same table and where we lived a life of hard work with time for fishing and hunting, reading and daydreaming.
4. I would return to the rural community of my childhood of farms and small towns and have my eyes open to a way of life that was already passing.
I would love to go with a camera and an attitude of appreciation and with the knowledge that the old way of life I was living was transitory. Perhaps we all could that in present world in which we live.

Big Bend National Park (return), One of our largest national Parks and the least visited. Love it!
Jackson Hole (return) What a great place for night photography.
Jasper national Park (return) Beautiful Fall
Iceland (return) Not enough time the last time. Would go in the Summer and Fall.

Alaska-animals & mountains
Iguassu Falls-Brazil/Argentina-waterfalls and butterflies
New Zealand-south island-inlets and southern alps
Bangkok, Thailand-architecture and religious culture
There are thousands of other locations that give my heart a jolt. These are the most dramatic. They offer such wonderful angles and different subjects. #5 would have been Greece and its islands.

For me it would be -
Erdene Zuu monastery (Karakorum, Mongolia)
The old town of Kyoto, Japan
Katmandu, Nepal
Angkor Wat, Cambodia
I have been to Erdene Zuu monastery, but not to the other three. Not yet...

1. Grand Canyon - Return - Quick stop in '72 while driving to my new duty station in CA. Want more time
2. Denali - Return - Another quick tour while doing some work in Fairbanks
3. Rockies - US or Canada
4. Maine, Baxter State Park - Return - the Moose were everywhere. I was photographing moose in the lake when I heard a noise behind me. It was a female walking past not 10 feet away from me.

What a great topic!
1- Africa...been once but want to go see the Great Migration
2- Morocco...going soon.
3- Peru...it was the best place, IMO, for good photography...both nature and street. I would not go again, however..
4- It is in the back of my mind to do a photo essay of my little home town in Colorado..used to be a steel town, now kinda down on its luck...a bit gritty, interesting bars, attempts at civic pride such as a neon alley and a cultural center, generations of Italian, Polish, Czech. Spanish history. Known for its peppers and rivalry with Santa Fe over who grows the best ones. As my cousin said, who still lives there, "if the world ends I want to live here...we always get the news 10 years late."

1. Bora Bora. Impossible to take a bad photo there, although I tried!
2. Hawaii. Any excuse to get back there works for me.
3. Viet Nam. Last time I was there photography wasn't on my To Do list.
4. Pretty much any seaport that has plenty of ships and boats.

I think this series of responses would have been improved had I and many others picked places where we all had not already been. Perhaps a question should be "Where have you never been that you would like to go with your gear and make images?"

Thanks George. I've been to Yellowstone and Banff and they certainly are "camera worthy". And as with most locations, it is not only the place itself, but what you see on the way there and back.
