Maybe this has been asked here before, but if you could travel back in time and photograph any person, place, event, where/what would it be?
I would love to go back to the court of King Henry VIII (of course I'd have to make 6 trips to catch all his wives).

I guess you guys didn't see "Jurassic Park" ... ;-)
I think my answer would depend on whether it would just be to get some unique pictures or if I could actually DO something with the information ... |

| Well, just for *photographic events*, I'd love to have been on the spot, airborne with a high-speed camera, to capture the "extinction event" off the Yucatan peninsula that wiped out the dinosaurs... |

Or Pompeii.

How about the same tomb when they were loading it up with the expired boy king? That would have been some sight. |

| Oh jeez where do I start...when the first woman discovered how to make fire. Men were out there hunting woolly mammoths and their ilk, women stayed home and dug grubs and roots and raised kids. I bet woman discovered how to make fire and taught men once they got sick of primitive elephant sushi :-) |

Let's say you are there on assignment only to record the subject/events - but it's something you REALLY want to see. |

That would be tough because I would not be able to just pick one for I would want to do a series.... if time was 'not limited' I would want to do an environmental/documentary portrait series of several individuals in time (mind you the list would be a lot longer but these would be the top to start:-) ).
- William Shakespeare along side the actors performing in the Globe Theatre
-Galileo Galilei
- Leonardo da Vinci
-Gráinne Ni Mháille or better know as Grace O'Malley - most especially the documented meeting between her and Queen Elizabeth I
-Eleanor of Aquitaine
-Michelangelo
-Artemisia Gentileschi
-Robin Hood - if it could be found who was the actual historical figure
-the samurai women of 16th century japan
-Ng Mui -a Shaolin monastery abbess
-Artisians and craftsman who made the Mo‘ai statues on Easter Island
- Homer - the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey
