Photographic Bucket List
Do you have a "Bucket List" of things or places you want to shoot before you 'kick it' and become 'worm dirt' or 'assume room temperature'? It doesn't matter how big or small it is, share it here, and if you've managed to knock a few off your list lets see those photos, post 'em here.

Dear Todd,
No, I've no 'bucket list'. Any 'bucket list' (a) assumes that you (and your destinations) will never change and (b) ignores the possibility you may find something better, later, by chance.
Cheers,
R.

Hey Roger,
By "Bucket list" I mean something you want to see, and in this case photograph before you are dead and gone. I'm not sure what difference it makes if the place changes over time, take Niagara...it is constantly eroding but I still wanted to see it and shoot it.
I would also like to see the Pyramids of Egypt and shoot them as well, I have already seen and photographed some in Mexico.
Besides, a bucket list can also change over time, added to or taken from.
Just trying to see what others think about and maybe even add a few new places to my list.
Todd

Now here's one I can understand, I need more time an unfortunately with the demise of more and more films and printing papers, may become one that has to be stricken from the list.

Really like these Todd, particularly the 2nd image of the Brooklyn Bridge. Re: bucket lists, I am not sure I have one. I know I did when I was younger, but many things in life since have shown me the futility of planning too far ahead, or in cataloguing experiences to be had. Definitely not knocking anyone who does, as it a fun way to approach life too, but these days I am focussing more on how to get more out of the experiences I have in life  |

I always wanted to visit some of the ancient sites in Mexico. Love that country.
Chichén Itzá
Tulum
I'd love to go to S.America one day, may be Peru to start with. Truth be told, so many places to see; big world out there.

Extensive Rolleiflex portrait shoot with Keira Knightley, including lunch.
I'm not asking much... 
Oh, and I'd like to complete a long project on poverty in the Netherlands with James Ravilious-quality film-and-Leica images... Starting to set that up now... Here's hoping my images will ever have a quality like that...

I have several managed to take this summer in Colorado, after having made a note during last year's trip to go back and do right. This first one, now an interior wall of the "True Grit Cafe" in Ridgway, was once an exterior wall, before the cafe was added. The original wall with its painted ad became a common wall joining the old and new buildings. Before the cafe was added, John Wayne stood in front of the advertisement in the movie, "True Grit."
At the south end of the building is this painted mural:
And here's a detail of the mural with the title and artist's credit:

Ive got a bunch of 5 generation shots:
Wife's grandmother
Wife's mother
Wife
Daughter
Daughter's 2 children
It's great fun, but make sure you get those shots. If you miss 'em, you'll regret it forever.

You can have it developed in B&W. Might be kind of fun. |

A bucket list requires a bucket full of cash & I'm not refering to Johnny Cash. |
