Calling all Glaswegians, Northerners and Estates Dwellers... does anyone have high res shots of grim Tower blocks. As in the Sony Bravia style tower. Or is there a fan website?
Need a few images for a project.
Cheers.

cool. Cheers for those. My problem is I need to use the images commercialy. So I was hoping someone here would have a few and I could by the rights to use them, rather than trying to get in touch with someone on Flickr.
Or is there a way you can buy the images on Flickr. I only joined two weeks ago so I don't fully know how it works.
Keep those beauties coming...

Email someone on flickr and agree on terms and conditions.

It doesn't really matter where they are. They just need to be grimy and pretty shitty looking. They could be in france (think of the movie Le Hane).
Get your pic on the cover of an album!

I don't have sound here, skt, which part is it do they say?

don't think it says kelpie and i can't remember where exactly.
it's been demolished since i think.

Yeah we do... remember The Commitments. Ballymun is kinda clichéd now and the towers are almost gone.
I want something that people here can relate to but may not have seen before. Hence why the North of england and Scotland fit the bill as it's pretty like Dublin in a lot of ways.

What kind of budget you got? You could get someone to go out and take some for you...
- kelpie0
well the red road ones would be perfect if you can get a flickrer to agree to terms. They are pretty, er, dystopian...
and they were in that film too, right enough
