oh my god. *laughs*
Oh my God. laughs Looks like I’m bringing the Real Camera with me to America. $8K & counting.
Somebody suggested an awesome compromise between my CE Murphy Urban Fantasy themed calendar and good sense-have people who live in the locations take fan pictures (with or without themselves in them!) and for those people whose photos are selected, give them a copy of the calendar. And I could mix it up with some of the photos I *can* reasonably take… :)
Okay, if the campaign hits $9K before I leave Wednesday morning, I’ll definitely do at least the digital version of that idea, and, y’know, if we reach some ridiculous number like $20K over the course of the whole thing maybe I’ll fly out to Boston and Seattle to take pictures myself. But I totally love the idea of doing it as at least a digital thing with reader-supported photography, so off the top of my head, locations you could choose:
Seattle: the Space Needle, Seattle Center (especially if the amusement park is still part of it, the merry-go-round!), Ravenna Park, the Fremont Troll (though he’s copyrighted material, so I’d have to get permission to use his photo), Lake Washington. Oh, Mt. Ranier/National Park/Paradise Lodge… (I think it was Paradise Lodge they stayed at in DEMON HUNTS…really, you guys probably remember this better than I do.)
Boston: the Boston Commons, the, uh, restaurant that Lara & everyone have dinner at early in TRUTHSEEKER, the, er, church (St Anthony’s?) she goes to the Anonymous meeting at…
New York: Trinity Church, the Empire State Building, St John the Divine cathedral, Central Park, Rockefeller Center ice rink…
I bet there loads of other places I’m not thinking of, but those would do for a start. :)
