Hi, my name is Evan and I run a project on Wikipedia where I'm trying to take pictures of video game history and put those in a public domain image gallery. Most of the images that I've taken so far you might have already seen, as they're the pictures in the infoboxes on the Wikipedia articles of many different game systems. You can see my gallery of video game photos here:

I live in Brooklyn, NY and I'm currently looking to fill in the gaps of my gallery. Basically, I'm looking for video game collectors who would let me photograph their hardware collections. I have a lot of hardware photos already, but I have been having a hard time finding older or rarer consoles like the Atari Jaguar or the 3DO.

I have a list of the consoles and hardware that I'm looking for at the top of my gallery page if you're interested in helping out. If you are, emailing me at evan.amos [|at|] gmail.com is the best way to reach me. I hope you consider!

Evan

Although I live about 5 hours away from NYC and therefore can't really help with your project, I must say those are some very nice images you've been collecting.

I approve of this project. :cool:
