I had that thought for a string of parks here in Atlanta, the Olmsted Linear Parks, called such because they and the surrounding neighborhood were originally designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of Central Park. Some are open and savannah-like. Others wooded. A group of women went to battle a couple decades ago to prevent the state DOT from putting an expressway through the neighborhood into the heart of the City. They won and then went to work getting the parks restored to their original condition as Olmsted and his sons conceived them. What I think was the last phase -- putting power lines and telephone cables underground and installing turn of the century street lights alongside the last of the parks -- was completed this summer. My thought back last winter was to use a tripod and take long shots at different times of the day each season of the year in each park, starting as they came back to life in the spring. So far all I've got is a few hand-held shots in one of the parks. I guess I can start anytime I want. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir [email protected] "Human coexistence and social life constitute the good common to us all from which and thanks to which all cultural and social goods derive." - Zygmunt Bauman -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
