Your thoughts are needed

I'd like to tell you about a photography project that I'll be working on for the next year or two. From what I can tell, basically, I've taken everything that I learned in the first semester and applied it to photography.

I've gotten in contact with brilliant photographers from Palestine, Iran and Venezuela (isn't Flickr.com great?). Basically, the group is going to take photos of people as they are thinking about people who live in countries that are currently at odds with their country. As we work, we're going to give each other access to our photos via the internet. The end result- I want to show the most poignant photos in a gallery facing one another as if they are having a lively and honest conversation. People who visit can decide for themselves what they think that photos are saying to each other. Hopefully, my photos along with the others will be shown in each of the other countries, so it will be an international exhibition.

I'll spare you all the details, but all of the photos will be done with a white background and the same lighting so the people will stand alone and sometimes it might even be hard to tell what country a person comes from.

I've attached some samples of what the format of the pictures will be.

Alright, so if I come up to you sometime and want to take your portrait, you;ll understand.

Please let me know what you think.
