[MassHistPres] advice for a photography project

[George Shaw]

I'd like to thank everyone that took the time to reply to my post your suggestions have been very helpful.
I should have mentioned that I am a photographer but as the project evolves may take up  the offer of help several photographers who replied.
I should have also mentioned my spam blocker. I do apologize for the extra step many of you went through to offer me help. I do check the "suspect" email folder on a regular basis so there is no need to send a request to be included to me. 
Before doing this again I will think the process through.
Again thanks for all of your help and encouragement in what may well turn out to be a sisyphusian task.

Subject: [MassHistPres] advice for a photography project


I'm compiling photos of towers,steeples, domes and other similar objects for a potential book, essays, a  photographic  database for researchers and/or my own edification. I've already compiled several hundred photos in the Boston area and realize that my search is pretty random (not a bad thing). but time consuming. I intend to include most of New England but don't have the money or time to "drive around"  unless of course that grant comes in. To date most of my subjects have been churches and government buildings as well as a few "oddities' such as the tower in Fort Hill, Boston. I am looking for the buildings that aren't usually documented. IE the North church and most of Harvard.have been done to death. Unusual, quirky neglected and endangered. are what I am looking for. as well as jewels. in many forms
This group represents a pool of knowledge that any researcher would envy. I'm looking for suggestions of buildings to go to. As part of the documentation aspect, I am looking for access to the buildings to record construction details and any help in that regard would be appreciated.
