1 - Rupp Arena, to shoot the mighty Wildcats being laid low by my Keydets
2 - Freedom Hall (a more predictable outcome)
3 - MCI Center (what it was called then - also a predictable outcome)
4 - Value City Arena (predictable outcome)
5 - Camden Yards |

->> I'll probably have to list 5 places that are kinda cool and not just/necessarily famous (after all I've photographed Waikiki Beach which is plenty famous but pretty average for locals here).
In no particular order:
* Johnston Atoll (got to go inside a bunker and photograph and even touch a VX nerve gas and mustard gas chemical weapons. JA was where they destroyed them)
* Waipio Valley from helicopter (helicopter flights aren't allowed in there, I was with state officials so I was lucky.)
* Mauna Loa volcano while it was erupting (flew over in a helicopter w/o a door, most excellent)
* Pearl Harbor (all over the place, in subs, on ships, Ford Island, etc. Seen the bullet holes in buildings from Dec. 7th attack, I was a civilian with a ComNavBase photo pass which was cool).
* SportsShooter Luau (Famous and never to been seen again...Bert?) |

Long Beach | CA | USA | Posted: 4:09 PM on 07.25.09 |
->> Eiffel Tower
Hollywood sign
Golden Gate Bridge
Statue of Liberty
Texas Stadium
Old Yankee Stadium
Dodger Stadium
The list can go on and on..... The thing is that just because a place is far away from your home does not make it a very famous place to have shot. Its just a place you have put value on because you are exited to be there.
I love questions like this.
I'm wondering what are the top 5 stadiums people have shot in?
