Abandoned Theme Parks
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.
Its a tie between, Six Flags in New Orleans, or Okpo Land, South Korea. Six Flags because it looks so beautiful nad I love how abandoned it looks. Its like it has character. It also gives it this scary vibe and I want to go around and take pictures of whatever I see. Plus its kind of old school looking. The park in South Korea because it seems cool to go to a a park I've never even seen before because I've been to six flags before and in the pictures it seems so peaceful and I love the photos the photographer took of the park. They inspire me.
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.
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 am really interested in old places, or abandon places especially if they were around and running year and years and years before I was even thought of, I like to see how people back then lived and the differences between how those places look then to now. I would take pictures of not the church itself but parts inside like this one.
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.
I would first have to ask the owner or some sort of authority to ask permission if I were allowed to go, if yes then I would have to find a way there, I'd probably get a crew of people to go with me and map out like 10-20 churches and rent a van and travel around to get to those places, I might have to take a plain a couple times but I'd do those last. I'd need of course a camera probably a camera light. I would also need a passport going into another country and such.
