1. Tell me which amusement park featured in the two articles that you would like to visit and take your camera along and what about that park made you want to go there. Write at least a paragraph.
I would like to visit Lincoln Park in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. I would like to visit that park because i thought the way the old wooden roller coaster had broken boards sticking out everywhere looked really interesting. I think there would be lots more really cool looking run down buildings. I think the contrast with the muted colors of the surrounding environment and the fading bright colors would look really cool in a picture.
2. Post one photo from that park. You may use the photos from the link, or you can google an entirely new photo. I would prefer to see a photo of the park in disrepair and not a photo of it when it was still operating.
3. Think of at least FIVE other unusual places you think would be of interest to photographers. List them.
* an abandoned shopping mall or store
* junkyard
* landfill
*car lot
*factory
4. Use google or another search engine to research ONE of your five places and see if anyone has already started documenting that place. If you find that someone has already started - post at least one photo of their work.
5. Write a paragraph about why you think that it would be fun to document that location. Tell me what interests you about that place and what kind of photos you could expect to take there.
I think it would be interesting to photograph because there is an endless amount of different shapes, materials, and textures. I would probably take pictures of things that are bent differently from how they are supposed to look.
6. Tell me what it would take for you to go and take photos at your location. What would you need as far as equipment goes, travel plans, expenses you might encounter and what laws you would have to take into consideration to take photos at your spot.
There are plenty of junkyards in the world and they are pretty easy to access and probably not very far. As far as equipment i would bring a camera and a tripod.
