Abandoned Theme Parks

I would love to visit and take along my camera to capture photos at Six Flags, New Orleans. The photos displayed in the article capture a vacancy yet the photos are filled with a dark energy that captures the devastating events that have taken place at the setting of the photos. I find this energy interesting because it is captured in the photos with perfection. The photos tell a story and you can infer that something devastating took place there without knowing prior information about the setting. The photos capture a negative truth and turn the truth into art through photography.



FIVE unusual places to photograph:
  • Antartica
  • Cemeterys
  • Concerts
  • In Oceans (Pacific, Antartic, Atlantic)
  • Sahara Desert

The natural elements of the desert is what draws me to wanting to photograph the desert. The desert is exclusive to its nature of the sand, wind, and sky. I would expect to capture many photos of how the earth of the desert and sky meet and compliment each other. For miles and miles around there is nothing but desert. It seems never-ending and of a planet of its own. This is what draws my interest to the desert regarding photography.

In visiting the Sahara I would have to pay for plane tickets as well as visiting accomadations such as a hotel. As far as equipment I would need seemingly a surfiet amount of water in order to avoid dehydration. I would also need sunscreen, durable photography equitment, transportation to and from the desert, a tour guide whom is knowledgable of the desert and navigation of the desert. Along with these factors I would need to become knowledgable myself of laws of the setting of the part of the Sahara I would be visiting.
