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.

 South Korea, Okpo City and Prypiat, Ukraine....i would have liked to go and take my camera to the Prypiat, Ukraine one because  Ive always wanted to go to Russia because of the nuclear disaster that happened and because it looks very scary their. it just looks very interesting.

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.

Prypiat, Ukraine

3. Think of at least FIVE other unusual places you think would be of interest to photographers. List them.

 I don't really know any other places that would be worth seeing and taking pictures of?

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 this place would be amazing to document because its under nuclear gases and it just looks super scary and haunted because everything looks depressing and dead, and i would hope to take picture of the place that haven't been super destroyed and maybe even some ghost that roam the place because since alot of people died there, their should be ghost in most place but will be challenging to catch them on a picture.

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.

 Well i would need alot of money and different kinda clothes to wear. I would need to rent a car to drive me to this place and i would also need a map, But most of all i have to have someone with me like 2 friends to go with me. And i would need my camera of course because i wouldn't be able to take pictures of nothing.

Academic Shoot preview

Most interesting stuff
what makes this most interesting is that she is really into these book and is working very hard.

most action and emotion,
well the most action is going on by them fooling around alot and the emotion is them being happy and smiling.

Best story
I think the story is that they are trying to probably raise money for something or maybe just giving food to the poor or just even maybe they are just kind people and just giving food away?
