standing inside a fountain is the best place

the warehouse district downtown is a really good spot

if that doesnt work and you are looking for that old shed look, id say explore cary down the yates mill road area or even as close as Lake Wheeler

i really like downtown in the warehouse area tho, its got a good feel and plentyyyy of options on the backsides by the tracks.

we just took a bunch at a waterfall here in SC a month ago or so. We waded out to the apex of the falls (not that smart i know). the water was about the coldest water ive stood in, i couldnt feel my legs up to about my knee after only being in it a few minutes haha. we also took some at the base of the waterfall.

try a junkyard.
most owners won't mind one bit...just talk to them first (in person)

these gems came from a junkyard....

you guys should thank me for making this thread now.

3/12/2008 2:11:54 PM

dem gems came from genetics.

3/12/2008 2:11:57 PM

ive always wanted to take some on the top of a building in a downtown with the bands back to the city lights. maybe waist up so you dont see the parapet wall or railing, just the bodies and the cityscape.

be creative though. there are too many generic band shoots out these days, just have fun. finding spaces with cool lighting gives them the most character imo.

3/12/2008 2:13:26 PM

another really really cool place is old furnature thrift stores
once again youll have to ask in advance

but most of the time they dont care...

i have two i could add to this post if i can find them

i clearly feel like attention whoring myself out on the lovely afternoon.

[Edited on March 12, 2008 at 2:16 PM. Reason : ^^ahahaha thanks]

hayyyyyy Joie

she so purrrrdy


yea i do like the building idea, on the top of the buildings, if you can get access..that would be pretty cool

whats the band name by the way? that would help a little...or the album too

i'd go with a beach, as per faith +1





just sayin

3/12/2008 2:25:35 PM

^hahaha
^^HAAAAAYYYYYYYY
i always thought it would be cool to do one in a grocery store....thats one of my next ventures.

however my family owns a chain of them so it's easy for me

and also....from the thrift store idea..you can use the stuff in the store as well...which is why i like it so much


and yeah yeah, i know my left boob is popping out...


/ATTENTION WHORING

(sorry guys, im on the photog bug again)

[Edited on March 12, 2008 at 2:31 PM. Reason : and i agree with JT3bucky what genre of music are we talking??]

3/12/2008 2:30:54 PM

BAHHHHHHHH i wish i was decent at photography

i have soooo many ideas
i've been talking to people about them recently

hopefully something will pop up.

all my creativity is bottled up from my hiatus.

and it wants to burst.

3/12/2008 2:36:34 PM

the original intent of this thread has been lost. but its cool.

3/12/2008 2:45:31 PM

what kind of genre?

is this like a brooks wood band or between the buried and me?

[Edited on March 12, 2008 at 2:50 PM. Reason : ^no it hasnt, not one bit]

3/12/2008 2:49:49 PM

What band did you take those shots for joie?

3/12/2008 2:51:32 PM

3/12/2008 2:52:59 PM

bah cant see any of the pics in this thread at work

3/12/2008 2:56:25 PM

^hahahaha

^^not a band.
a bunch of test shots me and poeple came up with.
photography is an amazing creative outlet.
amazing.

im actually learning the fine arts of it now through a friend...but it may take a while.
so for now we come up with ideas. he shoots. i get to play dress up.

the coming up with ideas is the best part.
i have so many now.




but anyway
i think it would be a cool band photo sitting in a cafeteria.
like an old person cafeteria.
with old people around you.
and trays.

3/12/2008 2:56:46 PM

the first thing i thought of when i read the thread title was Faith +1...but it was too late

you can probably find a really large, open field down lake wheeler on ncsu property that might be sorta cool

or, and here's a gem of an idea...try the train tunnel under tryon, immediately past the golf course

3/12/2008 3:22:29 PM

yea Joie that cafeteria idea sounds kinda funny actually

id love to get involved in some photography like that too, it seems you have the idea down pat

i like that mirror/frame pic, its really odd tho, i cant tell if its a frame or a mirror or what...its just crazy lookin

i need to get some decent camera gear, the handheld fujifilm aint cuttin it
the junkyard is a good idea, old run down buildings are cliche but always good


WHAT GENRE IS THE BAND AND NAME OF THE BAND!!
if youre saying we are off track, i gave you places for sheds

what other ideas you got Joie
take me with youuuuu

3/12/2008 3:49:33 PM

I find your ideas fascinating Joie and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter

3/12/2008 8:07:48 PM

Back to the topic (or Bttt if you will)


What kind of band is this? I think that has a pretty big bearing on the answers.

3/12/2008 8:25:45 PM

holy snappers

a cafeteria is a great idea

3/13/2008 10:18:50 AM

This makes me want some K&W...

3/13/2008 5:15:45 PM

you could have the band in line at a k&w or cafeteria, with instruments laid out partially covered in ice on the salad bar. silly stuff like the drummer could have his drumsticks on his tray like they were his utensils, and you could have a serving bin full of microphones with the lead singer pointing at one, with a hairnetted old service lady pulling one out of the bin with tongs.

3/13/2008 5:26:58 PM

anywhere downtown wilmington.
