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. The pictures in Takakanonuma Greenland, Hobara, Japan were really cool looking. It made me want to go there because how rustic and beautiful it looks. It was built in 1973 and it looks so cool! The creepy tales told about abandoned parks got my attention immediately. 

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.
1. old playgrounds 
2. old and abandoned train tracks or roads
3. abandoned towns
4. unusual shops
5. farm houses

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. 

A person named Vanessa took photos of this old farm house in Whitby, Ontario, Canada.

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. The old and yellow grass and the leafless trees are so cool! Inside the house something tragically could of happened so stuff that could have been broken could be nice to take pictures of. The rustic look of the farms bring my attention.


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. Since it is all the way in Canada I would have to definitely plan plane flights and make sure all of the equipment is travel safe. I would have to plan way before time.
