Subject: RE: idea for a pdml photography project
Well, it's an interesting set of questions, all worth exploring, but as a
pdml project it's too broad. It needs to be narrowed down to one question
with a deadline before people can realistically get involved with it,
given
that we are not professional photojournalists and have jobs and families
to
deal with.
Actually, I disagree. The idea allows for multiple groups of photographers
to work on a question of their own choosing. Say two photographers--one
from England and one from Argentina want to work together on a
question--say--What do back yard gardens look like in each photographer's
area of residence? or How to adults spend their Friday nights in each
photographer's area of residence? Whatever. The question can be as serious
or as playful as the photographers choose. They can brainstorm off
list--show each other their work--get feedback from each other--then
assemble a gallery--and share with the list. Then they're done. This group
of two photographers can take as long as they like to do their project--a
week, two months, a year. Whatever. And their gallery can be as involved
as they want it to be. The photographers in the group set the rules and
framing for their project.
I'll start: Does anyone on the list want to work with me on a beach related
question? Spring is here and summer is coming--activity along Chicago's
lakefront is picking up. If you're interested you can email me off-list.
I'd love to work with photogs from other countries! We can brainstorm on a
question together, then get to work on making the photographs.
Cheers, Christine
