Abandoned Theme Parks

-
1. Which amusement park featured in the two articles would you like to visit and take your camera along and what about that park makes you want to go there?
I would like to visit Land of Oz in Beech Mountain, North Carolina. It doesn't look so scary and since it's abandoned, there won't be people getting in your shots if you wanted to have a model to pose on the yellow brick road or going into a castle. Also, The Wizard of Oz movie turned into an amusement park is great. To see it abandoned would be terrifying but more realistic than having people walking everywhere, even in the forest.



2. What are 5 other unusual places photographers would be interested in?
1. The Musee des Egouts in Paris, France
2. Icehotel in Jukkasjarvi, Sweden
3. Las Pozas in Xilitla, Mexico
4. Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California
5. Hanging Coffins of Sagada in Mountain Province, Philippines.



3. Why do you think it would be fun to document Las Pozas? Tell me what interests you about that place and what kind of photos you could expect to take there.
I think it would be fun to document Las Pozas because of the architecture and nature through it. There are tall poles and stair cases that lead to platforms that are covered with vines and flowers. It also has pools and one of the many pools leads to a waterfall. Photos I would take would be making my camera look up towards the sculpture. Another photo I would take would be of the pools and waterfall.



4. 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?
For equipment, I would need my camera, zoom in lens, prism to make the light reflect in cool ways, and your camera bag. For travel plans, I would probably want to stay in Xilitla, Mexico for a week so I could explore more than that place. Expenses would be booking a flight to Mexico and back to the US, paying for a hotel room for a week, paying to get in to Las Pozas, and paying for food and water of course. When I get there they would probably want to check my bag and maybe in certain places I can't take photos because it might be a private.

Great Black and White Photos Part II

          Alfred Stieglitz was a very skilled photographer that took photos in black and white. Stieglitz was born in Hoboken, New Jersey in 1864. He went to school in Germany for engineering in 1881 and went to Technische Hochschule in Berlin for photochemistry in 1882. When Stieglitz got back to New York in 1890, he got in a partnership with a photogravure company and took photos of streets.            He then went back to Europe in 1894 and joined a pictorialist society called The Linked Ring located in London. Eight years later, Stieglitz tries to tell the world that photography could show as much artistic expression as painting and sculpture. In 1903, which was a year later, he became the director and publisher of Camera Works , a magazine with its graphic section worked on by Edward Steichen. Steichen and Stieglitz opened the "Little Galleries of the Photo Secession" also known as "291" on Fifth Avenue in New York City in 1905. The gallery involved Stiegli
