Many people think of southern Arizona as nothing but dry desert, but hidden in the farming town of Willcox is Cochise Lake, a great location for bird and landscape photography. Many species of waterfowl, shore birds, and water birds migrate through southern Arizona, using places like Cochise Lake for roosting,...

Minnehaha Falls
Known as the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Minnesota is also home to some spectacular waterfalls like Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis. We visited in the winter, so the path down to the falls was closed for safety reasons, but even though we couldn't get right in front of the falls, there...
John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge
The John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge spans the Ohio River and connects Cincinnati, Ohio, with Covington, Kentucky. I took this photo of the bridge and downtown Cincinnati from the Kentucky side of the bridge, but Cincinnati is also brimming with photographic opportunities such as the Cincinnatian Hotel and the famed...
Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier
The Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier is another one of the few remaining wooden piers on the Outer Banks coast. Each year these piers are damaged by seasonal storms and replaced with concrete versions. This pier has been damaged to an unsafe point, so it's been boarded off and condemned. With...
Fulton Gas Works
Fulton Gas Works was built to provide manufactured natural gas for street lights throughout Richmond in the mid 1800's. Since then it has been converted and used for other fuel types, until it was closed in the early 1970s. There are a few buildings on the grounds, all in a...
Abandoned Beach Homes
The erosion of Nags Head beaches will claim these houses soon enough, but until then you can capture some nice shot. Five beach houses in all and each one is very old and unique. I'd urge extreme caution to anyone who wants to venture inside of the homes. As you...
Library of Congress
This place is probably in every tourist guide talking about Washington, for a good reason. As a photographer (and as a tourist), you shouldn't miss an opportunity to go there. The building (outside and inside) is wonderful. Depending on the time you have, you can peak a guided tour or...
Old Sturbridge Village
Since this place is in New England, the best place to go is late September during the foliage period. By going at that time, in addition of making nice pictures of the place by itself, you will have the red-orange-yellow colors in the trees. I would bring a wide-angle lens...
Mission San Jose
This is an old hispanic mission. The church is very nice, and there are nice photographic opportunities given by the shadows of the building. You don't need any specific gear, you will probably go there during day light. However it is perhaps wise to have a wide-angle lens. It may...
Austin SoCo District
This district is a very lively neigbourhood with a lot of different kind of stores. It is an ideal spot for street photography. I would try to go there when you know that you won't be alone to capture the lively part of the area, so week-ends are a good...
