Most photographers have some kind of a bucket list. For example, I have always wanted to shoot Chinatown at night. What’s that you say? This looks like Chinatown at night so I must have done it, yes? Nope. This is actually China. (I have yet to shoot Chinatown at night. Honest.) Which brings me to the point of this week’s opportunity weekend: dream big, folks, dream big. Shoot for the stars or, in this case, aim for China and you just might hit the target. In the spirit of dreaming big, hitting targets, and the like, here are some opportunities for you this week:
