Default What would you shoot if you could not fail?

I asked myself this question tonight and could not formulate an answer. I really have no idea what I would shoot. If all the gear was there and perfect in every way. Removing all excuse to fail IE low light etc. I still have no idea what I would shoot. The cynical part of me says I would shoot the same old crap.

What would you shoot?

The first answer that popped in my head was "I have a whole list of people", but barring that I think maybe wild animals would be my first choice to take pictures of then maybe my family. I have done some wonderful family portraits for other people but always seem to screw mine up.

Right now, my neighbors' dog comes to mind.

Oh, shoot with a CAMERA. Right. Hmm, me, I think the first place I would go is to shoot Chernobyl. I've always had a crazy fascination with the place.

Iceland.. I was watching a documentary about it the other day.. It's an insane part of the world.

Siberia.. I'd like to do justice to the forests

Scottish highlands.. Just stunning with the Heather.

Norway..Fjords.. Need I say more?

Alaska.. Just the stark beauty of it..

Philipeans.. The volcanos

Machu pichu.. Without any tourists..

Oh wait.. Did you say ONE? Ok, I'd like to go into space and photograph this beautiful planet from above.

I suppose Pripyat would also be on my list. Rumor has it they now book tourist trips to it now.

I would like to shoot something I haven't shot before and here I am talking about genres not locations etc..

Fashion.
Underwater
Air to air.
War
Portraiture (all of mine have basically been candids)
Studio stuff - like advertising.
Architecture (properly with a view camera or tilt shift lenses at the minimum)

For me it would be mostly landscapes, but the more I think about it the longer the list gets. So many areas come to mind, like Chinese Sichuan, the old town of Lijing in China, Scotland, Ireland, Iceland, Grenland, Norway, basically every place on the Earth that's still wild and not modernized. I really can't pick just one.
