Title: PLEASE - Anyone from San Francisco, I need your help!!!
Post by: ##RaCeR## on July 15, 2001, 10:17:50 PM
OK, its probably not as bad as I have made out, but still...

I need some photos (high res with good quality preferred) of the Golden Gate Bridge!

It is for an art assignment (I need to do a water colour of a landscape) and my theme is the USA, so I am doing the GGB.

I can\'t find any that a large enough for me to see small details (nothing on the net anyway). So, if you live in the bay area, or have some nice holiday snaps that you don\'t mind me sharing, please post them here, or send them to me via email, as it is greatly appreciated.

THANKS!!!

I\'ve been to the bridge many-a-times.  But all my photos are at my home in Norcorss.  I\'ll be there this coming weekend.  I\'ll find some snaps for you.  Can you wait for next Monday?

But in the mean time, try this:

http://www.goldengatebridge.org/photos/bridgewalk.html

You can virtually walk the bridge!  look left, right, up, down!  It\'s almost as good as being there!  (Although there isn\'t any wind, it blows really string there!  And the cars areen\'t whizzing buy, and those joggeres aren\'t in your way. . . again.)

I also have some awesome shots of "The Rock" from the bridge.  I love Golden Gate Park too!  I\'ve done some paintings of the Giant Redwood forest too.

but http://www.goldengatebridge.org should have everything you need.

I used to live in the East Bay, and I have photographs that include the Golden Gate Bridge.  I could scan a couple for you, but I can\'t do it until I get home tonight (monday night).  You said you need images which show small details... is there some portion of the bridge you especially need?  To be honest I don\'t remember exactly what I have, but I know I have something.  I\'ll have to look them over.

Please specify what resolution and color depth/file format you want.  If you want an uncompressed format like TIF or PSD, these could be huge.  Are you sure you hotmail account can receive files like that?  Just something to think about.  You can PM me if you want.  Also, tell me if you DON\'T need it anymore.  Thanks.

Racer,

You\'ve got mail.  Sorry if the image is a little disappointing, but it\'s the only one I could locate.
