I updated the blogroll on the right to include everyone I know about who is participating in this project. If you aren’t there and should be, please let me know. I’ll be happy to add you to the list…
I’m ready for this project to begin. I know my topic and I know what my book is going to look like when it’s finished. I’m not stressed in any way about the images. Most photographers stress over the quality of the ‘art’ in their images. My project won’t depend as much on that artistic quality. My images will all be black and white and made to look like polaroid instant prints in the book and on this website. In reality, my project is more of a social experiment than a photography project. Each person who participates in my project will get a chance to “tell the world” something that is on their mind. The image is simply a medium in which their thought will be relayed.
As a full time student, I have some serious time constraints, so I can’t let myself get involved in a project that will take too much time to complete within the confines of the 30-day limitation. I’m still not 100% solid on when I’m planning to start my project. It’s going to be sometime during the first two weeks of April, but starting on April 1 will put finishing right in the middle of my semester exams at school, so I’m not sure how I’ll handle this yet. I would really like to start on April 1, but we’ll just have to wait and see how things go. If I started on April 1st, I would really need to get all of my photos made by April 15th or so in order to give myself some cushion on the finishing time…
Hey, didn’t know about your blog until I saw some hits coming to my blog from it.
As a man who used to be a full time student, I can assure you that you have more time now than you’ll ever have once you get a job.
Good luck with the project and your exams :-)
Oo, I forgot what I really should write you about. Since this is rather international, it can be difficult to figure out the names. What you got on me is just the first and the middle. My full name is Kjell Harald Andersen.
John, that sounds like a fantastic subject. I’m really interested to see what comes of it.
