A Global Transect
A global transect along a longitudinal line, documenting Earth's diversity of flora and fauna, people and places, and everything in between and beyond!
The fascinating beauty of life on Planet Earth stems from the roots of biodiversity. As a biologist in training, this uniqueness of people, cultures, organisms, locations, and everything in between is absolutely fascinating to me! From global climate change issues and statistics regarding habitat and species loss increasing daily to new technologies invented and structures erected, our world is in constant change. Documentation and preservation is key to understanding change and the success of life as we know it to future generations.
Applying a scientific field sampling method, my dream assignment would be to create a transect line and collect data along it by way of photo-quadrats, but on a global scale! The transect line would be one of Earth's longitudinal lines, and the quadrats would represent my locations of photo-documentation along the line.
Along a longitudinal line, diversity ranges with factors like the seasons, as they are opposite in the northern and southern hemispheres at any point in time, and with climates, in and among regions and geographical features. There will be species diversity of flora and fauna within these regions and locations along the longitudinal line, as well as diversity amongst human beings and their inventions and creations to happily live in these locations. I plan to view all these factors and more through the lens of a camera.
Sticking with the diversity theme, though my shooting will be primarily digital, photos will also be taken with 35mm and 120mm film cameras, to enhance the complete photographic experience.
Cheers for sharing my dream, and thanks for your vote!

i cannot wait to hear more about this nimzi
You are far smarter than I am but I know I love looking at your pictures!
I like your idea!
I voted for you; will you vote for me? Let's do this and see how it turns out. Let's help each other!
Good luck!
This is a great Idea! Check mine out too and if you like it...return the vote! Mine is about exposing a fatal conflict taking place in the Congo.
Good ideas like yours that are not in the Top 100 are nearly impossible to find. This is unfair as many great ideas are hidden. Those of us in the “Sub-100” should work together to promote the best projects of the Sub-100 so that they can be in the Top 100 and be seen. Please vote for best Sub-100s!
You are, like, the only person to propose something on plants. I'm voting for you. Feel free to return the favor and vote for my project to document political upheaval, land seizures and rights abuses in Zimbabwe.
You have my vote, If you get the chance, check out my dream "From Australia With Love" and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE vote for it!
Thanks.
