I’m going to go a little off the usual request for an image on a specific subject matter these next few months. Rob from Stony Brook posted this question to the members and I asked if I could use it here.

What would be your Photo Bucket List? What would you want to accomplish photographically before your final shutter button is clicked? I have posted mine at SBCC and have repeated it here. Some thoughts are easily accomplished while a few others are way other there. Having the doable mixed in with the not-so doable is a good blend.

Once again you are asked to submit an image that says, “Square or Squares”- the only stipulation is the image must be shot between March 1st and April 30th of this year. No rummaging through your archives for one. Size as you would for image study or competition and send to Joe.
