DISCUSSION OF A NEW MAJOR NHSPA PROJECT

Proposal to the Membership for a New Project

New Hampshire Architecture: Buildings that have Survived 200 Years or Longer

The objective of this project is to photographically document buildings and structures that are at least 200 years old in every city and town in New Hampshire. A future exhibit and publication will be planned to share our work with the public. Below are draft guidelines for the work.

1.     Identify structures in a town or city that are at least 200 years old. Local historical societies and the state preservation office will be helpful in identifying buildings.

2.     Photograph the structure under the best lighting conditions making sure the entire structure is included in the photograph.

3.     Make detail shots of the exterior / interior architecture that you find interesting, this is an opportunity for creative visual exploration of the structure.

4.     Please make sure the exterior photograph of the entire structure (vertical lines of the building are straight). This can be accomplished in camera or in software suck as Photoshop or Lightroom. NHSPA will run a future workshop on photographing architecture.

5.     Fill out the provided NHSPA form documenting the building

6.     Digital or film cameras can be used for this project. All digital captures must be shot in raw file format. Images can be in black and white or color.

7.     Submit your photography for this project to NHSPA (Dan Gingras will provide the details).

8.     Work for this project will take place from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023
