In the image, bright, vivid neighborhoods are the places that I have thoroughly visited. These typically have several hundred photos and a video on YouTube.
Neighborhoods with lighter shades of color are the ones I have spent at least some time photographing. These are all in various states of completion, but warrant at least one full day more of dedicated photography.
The grayed out neighborhoods are the ones that, as of today, that I have yet to visit and photograph in any capacity.
As such, my first goal for 2023 is going to be to try and visit each of these “missing” neighborhoods in order to create corresponding pages here for the site. Afterwards, I’ll begin visiting incomplete neighborhoods to slowly fill in and complete the map.
Along the way, I have more Special Projects (such as more avenues in Manhattan) to provide some needed variety.
It’ll be interesting, come next Yuletide, to sit down and look back on the year and see just how close to these goals I’ve managed to come.
In the meantime, I look forward to sharing the results of my progress, as well as the rest of my 2022 photo shoots — and appreciate you sharing the journey with me!
