Hi guys, greetings and happy summer to all. I'm writing with a request: does anyone have a good LF color photo of one of those awful water parks, jammed with people on a sunny day? There are some awesome shots on the internet-- do a Google search for "Chinese water park" and some incredible images come up. But they are all very low-res and I'd like something higher quality.
I want to use the image in a huge digital mosaic to be made out a few million plastic straws. The number of plastic straws will be equal to the number of people who die yearly from illnesses caused by lack of access to safe drinking water. Up close, you will see lots of tiny drink straws, and standing back at a distance, the image will look like a picture of a water park with slides, wave pool, etc. The idea is to juxtapose the five million people around the world who die from lack of water every year, against the other millions of people around the world who participate in extravagant and wasteful water consumption.
I could go to our local "Wild Waves" park and shoot something myself, but all I need is a pretty generic wide-angle photo of a water park, so I might use a stock image also. Before I do either of those things I thought I might check in here. Does anyone have one they might want to license for a crazy huge piece?
Cheers from Seattle,
