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.

- I would like to visit the New Orleans Theme Park because it recently happen. To me its easier to capture a picture when its not that old. Also they say that its sinking into the swamp so its almost gone and it would be good to capture a picture before its all gone. It looks like there is a nice sunset around that area since its not all forest, and i like the pictures that are on the website.

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.

- A Cemetery

- An abandon house

- A really old school

- An abandon hospital

- In a Tunnel

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 like how the ceilings are falling down and how they look rusty. It would be fun to document this because a lot of people died there and in most cases no one knows why, it would be cool to take a picture somewhere where you know someone died.

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 need to do some research on where there is an abandon house near austin, and if they could allow me to do a documentary. i will need an HD camera maybe even a camcorder so i can record certain things that are hard to capture on a camera. I might need a breathing mask since there is a lot of mold and dust.
