The topic for my SoFoBoMo project is “Tell the World.” This theme is a resurrection of a previous idea that I worked on last year, but did not complete. I started a project called “Signs of the Times” which got canceled due to time constraints. I still love the idea though, and I plan to execute the idea in a slightly different way for this book project.
So, what is it?
I purchased a small dry-erase board and marker to use in this project. The board is 11×17″ in size, and I’ll be using a black dry-erase marker as well. The object of this theme is to find participants who are willing to answer one question:
What statement would you make if you knew the entire world was listening?
The participants will write their statement on the dry-erase board and be photographed holding the board. It’s as simple as that. No serious concerns about lighting, composition, and all the other details of photography. These image are about the thoughts more than the images. If I find a notion to make a second book after this project is complete, I’ll pursue an image-based artistic theme. I think this idea will be quite entertaining on its own.
