A Million Little Pictures: Documentary Project

Friday - 15th of May, 2009


Just stumbled on this: a really cool project pulled together by Arthouse co-op in Atlanta… You send them $18 and they send you a disposable camera with 24 shots to document your life this summer. You + 999 others from around the world get your snapshots in a gallery show on September 25th, helping to build a picture of life in 2009.

It’s Friday and you’ve got a wadded up 20 dollar bill in your pocket. This could be a great way to spend it.

(Yes they know it’s only 24,000 pictures…)

      Camera Obscura 2005/1-Inf project.

      Pretty sweet idea. Do they end up with copyright of all the images as well?

      Cheers

      This is really cool, I’m debating whether to do it or not since I’ll be moving around for college soon that could either be somewhat of a nuisance or really fun. I’m really considering it though. It seems like a cool thing to be part of.

      Sounds like a great project to be part of, although I agree with one of your previous comenters who said 24 frame would disappear before I could say Jack Robinson
