Well, although I too, do like the behind the plate view, I also think just about every ballpark has been represented that way at least a dozen times. Any pictures from that angle that exist have been turned into an OOTP equivalent.

What got me started on this idea was the fact that the best and most beautiful ballpark shots aren't usually from behind home plate. The bulk of the construction is, in fact, behind the plate. I also think some of the best pictures are actually overhead shots encompasing the entire park. In addition, most seats from which a game is watched are not behind home plate.

This project is intended to utilize those views in an OOTP presentation. The Ebbets image and Wrigley image are my favorites... the blueprint ones were interesting, but I probably won't do any more of those.

My hope is to create an "art piece" I guess, with some great shots and a lot of nostagia.
