Needed "ASAP" help for a FINAL photo school project.

Postby INFINI » Thu Apr 02, 2009 10:51 pm

Hi all,

Thanks for letting me post on your site tonight reading to my request. I am posting here to be as specific about my needs as possible and so you can better understand the project and what you might be able to do to contribute to it.

Basically this is my final project for my "Capture" class. It's all B&W photos so I will prob. be using B&W film cameras and such. The photographer that has inspired my project is Edward Burtynsky. This guy makes magic. At least to me. please check his site and work. [url="http://www.edwardburtynsky.com/"]http://www.edwardburtynsky.com/[/url]

Samples of his color stuff (Gonna bring the Digital with me as well). So of course I doubt I will do as well as this, but it's worth a try :)

Ok so now you know the kind of spectrum I am looking at here. It;s pretty overwhelming what we are doing to this planet every day. Literally changing the face of the world. So if you can help in any way bring me closer to taking cool photographs like these I would be in your debt for many years to come. I need contacts to plants, mines, harbors etc. etc. If You can get me in yoruself well all the better. I need to "SECURE" at least 3 locations in about 5 days. and then after that I have about 7 days to present the finished prints.

So I have about 10days till I MUST have already done the shooting for this project on some way. Thanks again and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
James

Wish i could help for specific locations...

but something that comes to mind is maybe taking pictures of a dam? not sure if that will fit into what your project is about.

The project is about photographing Manufactured Landscapes :) I already took photos of the reservoir in Covina and it's overflow but might go back.

Why are the dates so screwed up on this? It says you posted this in June 2007...

Well if you still need spots, you could go to the rock quarry in Irwindale, or the Santa Fe dam.
