Hmmm, interesting question. I'll have to put some thought into this and add to my list as I go.

Right now, I know for sure that I want to visit certain places sometime during my life so naturally I would be photographing them as well.

1. Ireland
2. Italy
3. Greece
4. New Zealand
5. Australia
6. New England (US) in the fall
7. Sunset over the ocean....will need to go to the west coast to achieve this.
8. I really want to photograph someone who is not caucasian. That is weird, I know, but I want to learn about other photographing other skin tones. This is more of a practice/learning thing rather than a lifetime photography goal.
9.

I'll add more as I think of them.

@ NicoleScraps

Re New England in the Fall & sunset over the ocean.

You may be able get both in more or less one go.
Head out to one of the islands off Cape Code (Nantucket?) or even on the end of Cape Cod itself might be ok (I havn't been to the end of Cape Cod).

1. The Inca trail
2. Blue whales/whales in general
3. Tokyo
4. Rural China
5. The Lake District (a bit closer to home!)
6. Conflict zones

When I first read this I thought, there are too many things I would love to photograph to narrow down into a list of 20. I honestly didn't know where to begin, but I did continue to think about it as I read through the daily threads.

Suddenly it came to me...clearer than crystal.

All 20 of my favorite things to photograph, rolled into one perfect image.

Jim Bryant's reply to klr's request for a female photographer to interview:

"...I don't wear a dress, but can shave legs, chest and put on makeup if you like."

Oh yeah, that's 1-20 right there...easy!
