| | Photosharing galore!
It's sliding right up to World Photo Day, 2006! It's a project set up by Drew Rossman , where all participants take a photo on Junne 1st, and submit it to his site for viewing. Last year the theme was people, and this year the theme is "Anything goes". The firmest rule and theme of the project is that everyone around the world take their photo on June 1st, and submit it for world viewing as soon as possible.
Here is the project explained in Drew's words,,,
"The next World Photo Day is June 01, 2006
Theme: Anything Goes Time frame: 24 Hrs
Participation: Open to all photographers
The goal of this annual project is simple: to show the world we live
in through the eyes of photographers worldwide, on just one day, June
1st of each year. This in no way is a contest. It is merely a platform
for all to enjoy and review with pleasure.
Photography is a way to capture events through the eyes of the
individual who sees it first hand and produces a record for all to
behold. In this modern era, when information can be exchanged
instantaneously, in many cases without any governing restraints, we can
witness moments of time virtually as they unfold. Never in the history
of mankind could such a project, with almost instant visual results,
have been accomplished.
I personally am in awe of the daily events taking place in our
world, events on both a local and global scale, events that dictate our
daily lives. We are all human, but where we are born sets our lives in
motion differently, a motion primarily directed by the values of our
country, our political systems, our local laws and traditions. You, I,
and billions of others have an inherent nature to appreciate happiness
when it finds us and to survive in the face of adversity. We each
follow unique paths, sometimes covered with flowers, sometimes riddled
with sharp stones.
Though all of us inhabiting our unique planet are essentially the
same, our lives unfold in such a broad array of ways that we cannot but
stand in amazement as we view the diversity.
Through the art of photography, and this project, we as
photographers are able to shed some light on the difficulties, the
triumphs, the beauty, the pain, the good and the bad of our human
existence." Last year ther was a simple regsistration process, but I don't see that kindof information yet on the World Photo Day site. keep checking back, if you would like to participate!
