I want you to send me photos of dead things.
I might need to elaborate on this eh? I do lino-cuts, and my current project involves fossils. Sadly for me, I live far, far away from any big natural history museums and so I'm going to offer you all a deal. I am looking for good, sharp photos of fossils in strong light - the kind of thing I can use to make more images like this here:
trilobite
In return, if I use your image I will send you an a3-size artist's proof for free. Good eh?
I'm particularly interested in this terrifying bastard, sauropod heads, pachycephalosaurs, ankylosaurs or anything else with a lumpy head. Earlier animals are good too, just so long as they're not too similar to something already living.
Thanks in advance everybody! ]]> Photography: I'm a man in need of a dinosaur. http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10987&Focus=348244#Comment_348244 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10987&Focus=348244#Comment_348244 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:43:45 -0800 Flxzr
I could maybe get you a shot of the Bearsden shark if it's still at Glasgow Uni. It definitely doesn't look like anything still around, but the fossil may be a bit too squished for you...

@Ryan C - There's no real rush here, I look after my 2-year-old full time so I only get two or three hours a day to do Stuff. I'd be over the moon to get a handful of images, honestly don't wear yourself out archiving the whole place :)

@Oldhat - Thanks very much! The local university has a taxidermy / modern skeleton collection, I'll save the deer for when I give them a visit. Is it wrong that my first thought was 'that's my christmas cards for next year sorted'? ]]> Photography: I'm a man in need of a dinosaur. http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10987&Focus=348595#Comment_348595 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10987&Focus=348595#Comment_348595 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 15:27:07 -0800 Flxzr
How do you want them? Should I just stick a link to flickr on here or something? ]]> Photography: I'm a man in need of a dinosaur. http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10987&Focus=348625#Comment_348625 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10987&Focus=348625#Comment_348625 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 04:59:46 -0800 Purple Wyrm a whole load of pics.

I passed through through the infamous Chamber of Beasts on the way to the fossils, so took some shots of modern animal skeletons as well.

Hope some are useful!

@flxzr,

ouch, the photographer's nemesis rears its shiny head.

and there are a few more sitting there. I hope they're of some use, but like I said, they seem to have set it up to make it as difficult as possible to get a decent, clean, photograph. Perhaps that's the intention.

Oh, and for legal purposes do whatever you want with the fossil pictures. I considered setting them as public domain on Flickr but it seems you can't. ]]> Photography: I'm a man in need of a dinosaur. http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10987&Focus=348740#Comment_348740 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10987&Focus=348740#Comment_348740 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 12:34:05 -0800 joanneleah ]]> Photography: I'm a man in need of a dinosaur. http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10987&Focus=348741#Comment_348741 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10987&Focus=348741#Comment_348741 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:03:20 -0800 allana

From the Redpath Museum in Montreal, when we were touristing last May.

(I may has misread the question and uploaded some plant fossils as well.) ]]> Photography: I'm a man in need of a dinosaur. http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10987&Focus=348755#Comment_348755 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10987&Focus=348755#Comment_348755 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:09:14 -0800 Ryan S Thomason @Flxzr that's brilliant man, thanks. In a bizarre co-incidence the acanthostega fossil is a cast of one Purplewyrm shot, weird eh?
@Joanne bats are always good, thank-you
@Allana that looks like a whale's flipper, you don't happen to remember who it belonged to by any chance? Even if you can't, thanks, it's a great shot ]]> Photography: I'm a man in need of a dinosaur. http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10987&Focus=348763#Comment_348763 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10987&Focus=348763#Comment_348763 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:22:06 -0800 Purple Wyrm In a bizarre co-incidence the acanthostega fossil is a cast of one Purplewyrm shot, weird eh?

Freaky! To be fair though it's an important transitional fossil so there are probably copies in a lot of museums worldwide. ]]> Photography: I'm a man in need of a dinosaur. http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10987&Focus=348780#Comment_348780 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10987&Focus=348780#Comment_348780 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 09:48:44 -0800 Flxzr

I'll have these up on my etsy page later tonight. Flxzr and Wyrm, your prints will be winging their way to you as of Tuesday morning.

I might have gotten myself addicted to this style, I've got eight more of these planned... ]]> Photography: I'm a man in need of a dinosaur. http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10987&Focus=352306#Comment_352306 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10987&Focus=352306#Comment_352306 Wed, 01 May 2013 21:18:17 -0700 Purple Wyrm Photography: I'm a man in need of a dinosaur. http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10987&Focus=352734#Comment_352734 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10987&Focus=352734#Comment_352734 Mon, 13 May 2013 10:23:06 -0700 Flxzr
