I need help for revamping one of my websites: a high resolution photo of a chalkboard. If anyone has a decent quality camera and access to a school building or other place where they still have chalkboards instead of white marker-boards, show me what you can do.

The photo needs to be a straight-ahead shot - no fancy angles or anything. Don't worry if something is written on the board, I will erase what's on it digitally.

Wood frame would be preferred but metal is fine.

If the board has a bunch of erasers and chalk on the little shelf at the bottom, that's a big plus.

Thanks in advance!

One of these just might work, either the second or third one. Thank you!!

You rock Scerpica!
