Canal Street, New Orleans
I would like to do a photographic project over several months in the USA in the near future with a view to producing an on-line publication and possibly a book, but I am undecided about what theme to choose.
I would like to capture some great images of the varied culture and landscape to illustrate an informative text for the non-American (and I guess, American) audience.
I need to find something different and engaging, to ensure I don’t produce something that has been done before (unless it has been a long time since it was last done!); so ideas would be most welcome to help me narrow down the possibilities.
What ideas have come to me so far? Well, loads really but I tend to get confused and dismiss them before I have really thought about them in depth!
I think there is scope for something to do with travel and tourism across a number of the United States but how specific should I be? I have thought about a Motorcycle diary/informative directory and touring in an RV (Caravan or mobile home to Brits). Other ideas I have had are related to sports tours in the USA, either running, triathlons or other expedition type holidays (cycle touring, hiking) as I have some experience of crewing endurance athletes during several days/weeks whilst they ran through foreign lands. It would have been so much easier if there was an idiots guide to “Running through Bavaria” or ” Running from London to Rome in 30 days made easy!”, that’s for sure.
So, any ideas regarding a theme or subject would be greatly appreciated, as would any contacts for publishers who might be interested in being part of such a project.
Thanks
John
