character project

[ann]

well not sure this belongs here, but this forum has never been opened so might as well get it started.

i don't know if anyone has missed the commericals for USA character project but here are a few links of some of the photographers,

haven't been able to locate Mary Ellen Mark , but will keep searching.

there are 11 photographers involved with this project and will at some point end up as a book.

the first link is about the project, the other links are short (about 2minutes) in length for each . Check out the different formats and how many are using film.

Fascinating! I've not heard of this project.

I only had time (at work right now) to click on one link, so picked one at random and it showed a guy who is using an 8x10 camera in Alaska. :heart: People are posing for him quite willingly, it seems.

This should be a terrific series....I hope it gets a lot of publicity.

Thanks for posting this, Ann!
