(The) Capitol Collection

accessed Aug-22-2007

This capitol fan has been to all 50 state capitols and has a great idea for sharing what he has learned - a book for capitol visitors to use, both for its useful information and its souvenir potential. Watch for the "7 Cs" link also - another fascinating idea.

He is on a quest to photograph all 50 of our state capitols himself, besides other buildings of interest. Be sure to read "The Capitols Page" for Mr. McCrea's explanation.

I must admit I don't understand the 3D Warehouse yet, but I offer this link in case you do. Zoungy has collected photo-textured models of the state capitols, except one.

Green Destiny is a car, and "The goal is to get to all 50." This is on an image sharing site called Flickr. They are interesting places. Be sure to view the slide show - when you click on an image there, you are presented with comments and photographer information not available elsewhere.

Yes, another quest involving capitols. "Project 50 is one man's quest to see the United States of America. . . Successful completion of the Project requires 100 photographs: 50 state capitols, 50 state welcome signs."

NOT Duck, A Capitol Idea!

Another being attempting to photograph all the state capitols, but not a person! "In order to understand the US better, while he travels, NOT Duck is trying to visit the state capitals and capitol buildings for each state."

It started as a whim, "I was passing through Montpelier (the capitol of Vermont) and decided to stop and see the capitol building (one of the few I hadn't seen) And I took a picture. The rest is history." A page of thumbnail images of the capitols he has photographed proves the history. An update from the site: "As of 5-9-05 I have 48 of 50."
