Dream Photography Project

I'd fly around documenting Japanese gardens. I wouldn't need a close full of gear though.

If I was feeling topically/popularly message-ish? Tropical deforestation deserves every bit of scrutiny it can get, and the circumstances would make for beautiful, horrible, moving, chilling, lovely, tragic, dynamic, crushing, and possibly hopeful photographs.

If I was being completely indulgent? I'd start a (hopefully) 15-year project, and follow the lives of a litter of purebred bird hunting dogs from conception through death. Whelping, moving to new homes, training, companionship, going through their adolescence, their prime, and their old age as what they do and are made for changes around them. Individual animals and their people, over a decade and a half. Continuity of at least one of those half-dozen or so stories, told through photographs, would be a joy and a challenge to present. $10k ought to get the ball rolling!

Great question, Hannah. What a tease, you are.

I would choose my 7D, 17-55 f2.8Is+ef 400mm f2.8L IS with 430EX on a trip to northern california/Washington in search a bigfoot portrait. Maybe a rifle too.

stay home and take picture of my little girl for the rest of her life to documented every step and new stuff she learn..WAIT! im already doing this for free ; )

Seriously, i would travel across Canada for a year to see how people live from west to east in all the little village and city. To document a part of the my history.

I'm in my eighth season coaching Special Olympics. I would love to travel around the country (and to several other countries) to illustrate how the Special Olympics program helps to improve the lives of so many individuals with intellectual disabilities. I would then do an exhibit and book with a significant portion of the proceeds going to Special Olympics.

I agree with Matt, you are a tease. But, thanks for asking the question.

Am actually doing my dream project now ... returning to France to shoot six weeks more of French Romanesque churches and cathedrals. We will shoot 70-80 more churches, bringing to 310 that we will have documented.

I'd go to Washington state and document some of the larger cities - Spokane, Seattle - and the geography. Absolutely love the weather, terrain, and cityscapes in that northwest corner of the US. So much to see :)
Or I'd arrange a series of flights between large US airports - JFK, EWR, DFW, Chicago-O'Hare, SEA, and have at least a day and a half layover in each city; shooting film and some digital of the different aircraft and/in their settings, with unrestricted access to the ramp and air facilities.

Polar Bears. please send my money right away, they will be extinct soon :(

I am lucky enough to live near Waterton Lakes National Park and see black bears all the time. Occasionally I think I see a grizzly bear but never could get close enough to confirm that for sure by seeing the length of the claws !

Hmm, I would head to the US to chronicle abandoned buildings along the old Route 66.
