Plates of the States

Some Web pages are trivial, like this one. It is planned to be simply the photographs of license plates from the 50 United States and some others, perhaps, like DC, Govt. plates, etc. The only thing that might make it at all interesting is that the photos will all come from shots taken with my own cameras. The plates will, therefore, need to be on cars I see [when I have a camera!], and that means they will almost all be in eastern Massachusetts when I take the photographs. Time will tell how the project turns out. There will be blanks for a long time.

We did take a trip to Pennsylvania in April '09, and we saw lots of plates as we were driving, but it isn't possible to get photos safely while traveling at 65 miles per hour (105 kph). Opportunities missed...oh, well. I guess the shots will still mostly come from parking lots in Massachusetts.

On April 15, 2010, I got a photo of a Wyoming plate, I'd had five to go for quite a while, and now just four more. I'm going to be a chaperone for the trip to Washington, D.C. next week. Maybe I'll get lucky there. It is school vacation week and there may be people in the capital from the states I still need, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota and West Virginia. I'm willing to bet the trip will give me my best shot at West Virginia, at least.
