Abandoned Theme Parks

I would most like to visit Okpo Land in South Korea or Takakanonuma Greenland in Japan. Both of these parks were the most intact, but also the most creepy. Okpo Land has the amazing backdrop of Okpo city, and it has a history of strange accidents. The park itself was left completely untouched, so it would be opportunistic for photos. Takakanonuma Greenland doesn't have a super detailed or weird history, but the location of the park in the wilderness creates a cool atmosphere for photos.

It would be cool to take pictures in crowded areas such as the subway, restaurants, and city streets. It would also be cool to take photos in completely deserted areas, such as a desert or a ghost town.

I think it would be not so much as fun to take pictures in the desert, but more of a cool experience. Since its not easy to photograph in the 100 + degree heat for hours you would really have to bear the elements to get a good shot, but it would result in a photograph that you can feel more. Also the lines that the sand dunes create, the blank canvas you have for photography, the random oases, that seems really cool to be able to experience. But to take photos in the middle of the desert you would definitely need special equipment, such as a UV filter. Depending on where you live, you might not need to travel far to get to a desert. Some deserts in the US are state parks and require a small fee to get into, and might cost more because you are taking photos.
