A Million Little Pictures: Documentary Project

5/15/2009 08:02:00 AM

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...)

Daniel Regueira said...: 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.; 12:18 AM
