Theme Parks.

I would like to visit the abandoned park of Wonderland, outside of Bejing, China.
I would really like to visit this place with a camera, because to me there is something so intriguing about a castle that is just empty, and such a large structure that is so visible is just there. I would love to somehow get to the top of that castle, even though its probably not safe, or possible even though it is highly unlikely I could.




5 unusual places that would be of interest to photographers.
I think a lot of these abandoned places are of interest to people to shoot, are because these are remants of peoples pasts and a place people used to love to go, is now left back to nature.
1.Abandoned zoos. I say abandoned zoos, because there would be a lot of distinct things that could identify that this place used to be a zoo, the metal cages, the habitats all things that come to mind of a zoo,
2. Beached ships, and shipwrecks.
I think wrecked ships are pretty interesting, because no matter what you are not just taking photos of a ship, your telling its story of how it got there.
3.Woods of Canada(or in general)
There is nothing like untouched nature, especially the immense forests of  Northeastern Canada.
4. Landfills and Scrapyards
I think that shooting in a genuine scrapyard would be very interesting, piles of old rusted relics that have tossed out over the years, and have started to collect in one place.

While not one specific location, this is the type of thing I would like to go shoot.
I would like to go shoot a ship like this, because first of all it would be neat to just see in person, but also something about the shape of boats, just seems to work fairly well.
For me to come and shoot at this location, it would probably cost a lot in travel expenses because it looks like it is somewhere in the Caribbean so you would have to get to it. You would need a tripod, because it looks like the area itself is quite windy and stormy.

Harry Callahan( Black and White Masters Of Photography Pt.2)

Harr Morey Callahan was born in Detroit Michigan, on October 22nd 1912. Callahan studied Chemical engineering, and business at Michigan State University, before taking a job at Chrysler in 1936. Callahan started his career as an amateur photography, and then two years later joined Chrysler's Camera Club in 1938. Another two years later joined Detroit's photo guild in 1941, after a workshop with Ansel Adam. Soon after Callahan devoted his career solely to photography. After gaining a strong enough reputation, he was invited to teach at Chicago's Institute of Design. Callahan's pictures often displayed his wife Eleanor, and just random pedestrians that he found and photographed them. Harry Callahan died, March 15th 1999.

Selfie Vs Self-Portrait

When reading about the differences between selfies, and self portraits it can be somewhat difficult to find what sets the two apart. Selfies are big now because we have the access to take them, we just have to take our phone out, and poof it is a selfie of us and maybe others.  I think the main difference is what the two are suppose to mean to others. With a selfie it's purpose might be to display some time or occasion, something that has happened. Whereas in a self portrait your not just taking a picture of yourself. In a self portrait you have to make careful descisions to achieve what you think is good. A self-portrait is can give insight into who is the subject, who is behind the camera, and what they are like, and what their life is like, and what they're feeling.  I don't really have a preference between the two, both can be very good. I would have to say just because of the abundance of selfies today, I would like to see more self-portraits.
