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 visit Pripyat amusement park, in Pripyat, Ukraine. The reason why I would want to go to Pripyat amusement park because it is said the the city that it is in is abandoned along with the park.Also the fact that it looks apocalyptic, had caught my attention immediately. It doesn't look bad in the photos, it seems it would be cool to go there and see for myself if I ever had the chance.




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.

~Six flags, New Orleans, USA

~Spreepark, Berlin, Germany

~Okpo land, okpo city, geoje island south korea

~Holy land, waterburry, Connecticut, USA

~Takakanonuma greenland, hobara japan

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.

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.
