Where are some of your favorite places or themes when taking your photos?

Though its sometimes hard to do, I love the coast [especially the ocean but lakes are cool, too]. I like the light reflections, waves, the sea gulls, people playing in the sand and water, sea shells, sea grass, etc etc. I also enjoy other types of nature photography as well. And just about anything else that strikes my fancy [sometimes the silliest things are cool photographs]. And with people shots, I much prefer candids over posed ones.

I love the coast too. But I just have a hard time visually capturing the same emotion of the time and place. My pictures end up being pretty boring. I think I am trying to capture too much in a single frame (wide lens), when I should break it down more and focus on lots of smaller individual things, like the sea shells mentioned above.
As far as themes go... I think my next one will be of local motels and motel signs, like this one. Already I notice alot of them are being torn down or replaced. Two that I can think of off hand are the Downtowner Motel and the Holiday Motel, and my favorite (though not a motel), The Chicken Coop sign.
