I go to this site alot. I've always been interested in cities, but have just lately gotten interested in photography. I don't have a real camera yet (these pics were taken w/ a disposable camera). I just wanted to see how they'd look on here. Hope you enjoy these pics from a beginner.

Jack_White455 · November 29th, 2006, 09:07 AM

Those are some good pictures. I really like the last one the most though.

Absolut355 · November 29th, 2006, 11:02 AM

I concur...all of those pics are awesome, yet the last pic is sweet!

Paule · November 29th, 2006, 01:16 PM

Yeah, I'm surprised on how good these pics turned out. They don't seem much different from my cheap digital! Springfield MO, I don't think anyone here has ever made a pic thread on this city. please buy another disposable and show us somemore!!!

drowzy · November 30th, 2006, 05:06 AM

Thanks for the replies. I have a few more pics from when I was in Springfield.

Nice pictures

. Love to see the smaller cities as they dont get as much coverage.

drowzy · December 26th, 2006, 06:23 AM

I went back to Springfield last week and took more pics with another disposable camera. I got a beginner digital camera for Christmas, so I can't wait to use that.

Jack_White455 · December 26th, 2006, 02:27 PM

Those are good looking pictures. Are all of the taller buildings in Springfield close together or are they all spread out?

rider_of_rohan · December 26th, 2006, 05:09 PM

Things look tough there. Seems to be a lot of empty store fronts. I like the picture with a guy taking a picture in it

They are all spread out, I wish there would be clusters of highrise & lowrise buildings around springfield...

xDieselJockx · December 29th, 2006, 10:06 PM

Can I add a few more? I think I've posted some of these pics before but I think it's more appropriate here because it's about Springfield...

Cool, I haven't been to Springfield in a long time. I was just wandering because here in Joplin the taller buildings are all lined up on Main Street. In fact a couple of those pictures reminded me of Joplin without a lot of the people.

Nice start, some commentary on the history of various streets or neighborhoods will make your threads really worthwhile in the future.

NaptownBoy · December 31st, 2006, 09:49 PM

Nice downtown

edsg25 · December 31st, 2006, 11:46 PM

drozy, nice pictures. do you have any of MO St campus to share?

drowzy · January 1st, 2007, 09:54 PM

No, sorry, I don't have any pics of the campus. All mine are of around Commercial St. and the downtown area. I like those hospital pics. I also wish the taller buildings were closer together. Some of the buildings on Commercial seem kinda dead, but the downtown area seems to be coming to life.

This is an old thread but i'm new to the site so i will post some springfield, mo pics that i have.

reflecting pool; ice rink center

Looking towards old downtown, now home to 20 or so bars/clubs with a thriving nightlife.

A new development called college station is underconstruction and will include 14 screen movie theater, parking garage, stores and dining in the heart of downtown

Missouri States library

$67+ Million Basketball Arena thats underconstruction on the Missouri State campus. Innagural Game November 2008 vs U of Arkansas(of the SEC)

a computer background I made a while back, in the center is the "new" downtown area and the AA cardinals stadium.

drowzy · September 9th, 2007, 05:14 AM

Nice pics. I like the 2nd one. It makes Springfield look pretty urban. Does Springfield really have the fastest growing airport? wow

IraGlacialis · September 9th, 2007, 05:38 PM

Wow. Talk about an overhaul. Nice.
