Attention Boston & its environs.

Gary is a good friend and a great guy. Check out his blog and you’ll see for yourself that he’s a fantastic photographer. 

(While I appreciate the the flattery I hardly consider myself a power anything. I am merely a mommy-blogger. With awesome hair. And a flair for words. Oh, and sometimes I’m funny.)

Can I Do This, Part 2 - This Time, With Instructions!

Wow!

So about 10 minutes ago, I posted this:

So - who in the Boston area (and beyond) might be willing to help me with a potential long-term photography project: “1000 Faces”.

No, I can’t pay you. Yes, I’d likely ask you to sign a release. Yes, I will give you a .jpeg. No, I have no set timetable or time limit for this - but I think it’s a cool idea that will keep me shooting, maybe for the next couple of years.

In that time, it was reblogged by (clearly!) one of the power users of Tumblr - one @piscesinpurple - and already 5 or 6 people have responded in the affirmative.  The interwebs, man - wow.

@kalamazu asked how this would work. Well, I don’t really have a “this is how this will work” rubric, truth be told.  I just think it would be a cool photography project - one that will likely take more than a year (given my life and “real job”), and so I have no pressing timetable for it.  But - for those living in the Boston area (and those who fate might dictate we be in the same place at the same time), I figure it’ll be a if-we’re-in-the-same-place-at-the-same-time-maybe-we-could-meet-and-I’ll-take-your-picture kinda thing. 

So - if you are in or coming to Boston at any given point, give me a shout, and we’ll see if it’ll work.  If not, no biggie - my day-to-day schedule is pretty flexible, but 2 young kids make it unpredictable!

I’m at garyottley@yahoo.com. Or at gary@garyottley.com <— my photography website.

Now…if only @piscesinpurple would reblog this so that I can ride that Eastern Australian Current of hers.  Damn, gyul!
