Taking locations for granted

[theantiquetiger]

I am headed to New Orleans for the first time to shoot. I take New Orleans for granted because it's only 40 minutes from my house. I'm sure many of you and many other photographers would love to shoot New Orleans and its great history. I see some of y'all's pictures up in there in Canada. Nova Scotia would be one of my greatest places to shoot. I love the coastal fishing villages like Bambi shot.

Are you like me and take for granted the places around you to shoot? You see all these beautiful shots from other people around the country and around the world and wish you could shoot there not realizing what you have in your own backyard?
