Author Topic: Carcassonne Everywhere - a request for photos (Read 2980 times)

danisthirty · « **on:** January 28, 2022, 04:31:34 AM »

A great friend of mine - Melvin Quaresma - who came second in the 2021 Carcassonne World Championships and is a key member of the Carcassonne Brazil fan community, is a professional photographer. He is currently working on a project relating to Carcassonne and the fact that it is played by all kinds of people, all around the world. Melvin always set the bar very high for himself with everything he does, and this project is no exception in terms of the creative and original ways that he will find to use these photos to share our love of Carcassonne to those who will appreciate them most.

But enough pre-amble; the main reason for this post is to request your assistance in providing more photos of you and/ or your regular gaming group/ friends/ enemies/ partner(s)/ pet(s) playing Carcassonne. Any number of players is welcome. Any number of expansions is welcome (including zero). All we're interested in is seeing photos of people like you playing Carcassonne! People like these:

The only details you'd need to provide are the ones included in the example above: where the game was played, the names of the players (just first names is fine), and which expansions were included (if any).

I hope to see as many people as possible contributing to what is sure to be a hugely successful celebration of Carcassonne's international success, but please don't feel obliged to share anything you don't want to. I'll be sure to share details of his finished project when he is ready for it to be shared! Thanks

Welcome to the forum Melvin, and what a wonderful project. I hope many people share photos with you.

I went through ALL my photos and realized that I'm very good at photographing the games, but not so much the people.
I have a few photographs from Essen where players are very intense, or action shots!

But I did manage to find one photo. From April 2016:

Where: Thirsty Meeple Cafe, Oxford, United Kingdom
Who: Richard (Halfling), Curt (Curt 194), Rich (RichTheFish), Tom (me).
What: Carcassonne: Gold Rush

Here's an action shot where we are playing two games of South Seas

Including - Jamie (JTAtomico), Nick (Jungleboy), Dan (Dan)

Haha! I just realised that I shared the wrong photo!

That's not me! That was JTAtomico.... but I've updated the image now. So now it's me!

Thanks for sharing this project!

Here's our 2021 Christmas game with the cousins: Ralph, Lewis, Julia, Matthew, Megan, John, playing base game only, in Suffolk, VA, USA.

I found a few other photos I liked on my phone and put them in a google drive shared folder (file names give the needed information):

Looking forward to seeing the final project!
