My school is offering all the graduating photo majors a chance to travel abroad after we graduate. The only condition is we propose a project and place we want to photograph. I've never travelled outside the US, but have always wanted to go to France. If you guys know any interesting things going on in France or throughout Europe that would make an interesting or unique photo project feel free to suggest.

CALAIS CHRISTMAS ILLUMINATIONS period : 30/11/2002 DESCRIPTION : Calais' spectacular Christmas street lights are among the best in France and probably better than any display in the UK. New illuminations for 2002 will again be designed by Italian specialists to reflect the town's long-standing connections with the lace industry. Huge forty feet displays lit by more than a million light bulbs will be located on the three main roads into Calais, the Place d'Armes and the Theatre. In addition, traditional Christmas light displays will be sited across all the main shopping streets.

I would say, do some research. it would be best if you choose something you really want to do with your own personal reasons..

what a great opportunity!
I recommend: iceland for landscape photography berlin for urban photography
it all depends on what you're interested in. there are so many amazing places in europe that sometimes it's hard to choose, but wherever you go i'm sure will be worth it!

london!
photograph all the homeless, endless queues of traffic, and numerous drunken acts of violence. breath in that polluted air, enjoy beautiful landscapes of litter and experience the worst public transport system in the world! london - the city that never sleeps! (because it's too scared too)

The photography I do now is not really something I can use if I travel abroad. I am trying to learn more about French culture and have learned some of the language. We need to have a reason why we NEED to go to France to take the pictures... why not just stay in the US?
Sure, they know the real reason is just to go to France, but every graduating photographer proposes a place and why they should be picked to photograph there, and who ever has the best reason gets to go.
I'm not sure if anyone on this board is actually from France. There is some subculture in Eastern France that has been dwindling in some years.Before anything I first have to get over the fear of flying.
