Homer Wilson Ranch
In its time, Homer Wilson’s ranch was one of the largest ranches in the United States, comprising more than 28,000 acres of land. It was abandoned in 1945. The house is made from material native to the area, including a reed ceiling and walls made of stones from Blue Creek...
The Neon Museum
Because you are only allowed one camera and lens, I would recommend an all purpose zoom lens that lets you go wide, or shoot tighter. Something like a 24-70mm or 18-200mm would work well. It is hard to stand back from the signs, so you will definitely use the wide...
Gulf Island National Seashore Gator Pond
The Gulf Island National Seashore in Ocean Springs, Mississippi is located on Davis Bayou, and encompasses over 400 acres. Located near the campground, the ‘gator pond’, as it is know by locals, is a great area to spot all kinds of bayou wildlife, including alligators! Besides alligators, keep your eyes...

Scripps Pier
The Scripps Pier is photographers' favorite in San Diego at sunset. The beach crowds have left and there is ample, free parking on the road with a short walk down to the beach. Sunsets can be random, though. My unique approach - and old surveyor's aluminum tripod with a thread...
Steamboat Springs Wagon Stay
I discovered this gem of a spot outside of Steamboat Springs through an online booking for BnB places just for a day night away from kids. Luckily I came with all my gear. Not only can you stay in this restored Sheepherder's Wagon on the property, but you can photograph it...
Smithsonian National Zoological Park
One of the best things about Washington D.C is countless number of public attractions. A day trip to the zoo is a must, especially if you have a soft corner for giant pandas. They are quite shy animals so you will have to be quite patient to catch a glimpse of...
