Ann, Bob: my tongue was firmly in my cheek when I commented about
places not to go. Well, half way, I guess. :-) But I think it's a
great topic, and it's been darned quiet 'round here of late.
actually, my teasing was pointed more at Larry - who asked the
question about un-over photoed places for a trip a while ago -
fairly recently.
But yes it is a fair topic.

I realize that folks find new ways of seeing and presenting the
familiar all the time, and that is a worthy challenge in itself.
Reinterpreting the classics is a language, like writing new blues
tunes by plundering the old ones.
I don't actually travel much myself, so I reinterpret what's around me
(flowers, cats, people) and I hope I can somehow do it with a fresh
PoV. Regardless, it's new to me, and that's good enough for now.

Shakespeare didn't create his own plots - his greatness lay in his language
A couple of lines (somewhat paraphrased) that come to mind thinking about
this - you certainly miss a lot if you avoid all the places people have
photographed often -
It is fun to find a secret place, a place no one knew - but it
isn't going to necessarily make for better photos.
etc,etc,etc,

One of the hotspots is Versailles, from which I have just returned. Photos
to follow, whether the place is over-photoed or not.
Jostein gave us an example recently of how to go to a place that's been
photographed to death, and still come back with something good. I don't
claim to have done the same, but I did try.
