No fair! The Americans in the northeast have too much of an advantage
here.

Actually, I agree with him. Nine out of ten abandoned architecture
subjects down here are foreclosed houses and decaying strip malls.

Do you live in the North East?
Have you seen the re-vitalization? (Some call it "gentrification."

Yes! There are a lot of issues with denigrated inner cities, but that
issue is not limited to the US North East.

Perhaps we should add these links:

<http://67.20.89.159/wrolandhamilton/tag/toronto-abandoned-buildings/>

-<http://www.ontarioabandonedplaces.com/search.asp?city=Toronto>

Derelict buildings are not limited, nor exclusive, as Rich suggests.
the above links show he could effectively compete on that subject.

Well, those *are* timely subjects for a decaying architecture mandate. :^|

The challenge in Florida might be to find the most opulent foreclosed house in
the state. Extra points if it belonged to a gangster, druglord, political
boss, or other famous celebrity.

Duh.

Nor did he say that, Peter. He said they have an advantage. It's
easier for a resident of a "rust belt" state to go out and find a
interesting photographic opportunity that it is for me if the mandate
is architectural decay. An abandoned steel mill is a more interesting
subject than the typical abandoned house in this area.

That doesn't mean that I can't compete in the mandate. I just have to
put more thought, imagination, and searching for sites into it.

I won't complain about whatever mandate is chosen.

Didn't you mean "infamous celebrity?"

Coming from Rich I took it as a jab, and reacted accordingly.

I Most abandoned steel mills I am aware of are located in Western
Pennsylvania. Lat time I looked PA is not part of the North East, but
Mid-Atlantic

In today's society, what's the difference? I submit that anyone who imagines
that there actually is a difference didn't watch last night's White House
Correspondents' Dinner! (That is to say, they didn't watch it on CNN. C-SPAN
at least broadcast it a cappella, without the continual intervention by
fawning commentators.)
