    Rural sights, collapsing barns, rusty farm gear, etc., etc.

    This is NOT the standard, ready-to-go, what's-the-admission project. I arrived here nearly four years ago and have had, in my mind, a major mission to find ways to record the collapsing barns and farm life we can see, from the road, ... Read moreas we travel Union County and all the rest that are no different. I don't know quite how to approach the owners. There must be a few among us who are up to "leading" a couple of carloads, (=four truckloads), of suitably-dressed photographers into our most remote areas to charm farm owners into letting us records their beautiful, crumbling and rusting memorabilia of decades gone-by. I think we might be pleasantly surprised by their appreciation and attention. Just my guess, based on so many I have met, over the years. I'll try to make a thread on the message board where we can discuss this idea. I KNOW many of us are dying to do this!

    P.S. Moose and I and a few others have Jeeps waiting for permission to carry us wherever to find sights worth recording and sharing w/owners!

    NC Zoo in Asheboro

    I think this would be a fun day getting pictures of an array of animals plus just being outside.

    NC Transportation Museum, mostly trains near Salisbury!

    I've been to this place. Lots of trains to shoot and a bit more. I believe it's "free", being a state exhibit. It's about an hour up I-85. I think we could, even, take the Amtrak there, (ZZzzzz).

    stolen from Borka, South Side Scavenger hunt

    See Borka's idea below and just transpose everything to the South part of Charlotte (which, conveniently, is closer to the pineapple producing regions of the US).

    Close Up Flower Photography

    I gave a brief talk last year about close up flower photography....I'd be willing to do it again. Spring is just around the corner, so it might coincide well with folks getting out and shooting flowers.
