Summary: Photos that have made a difference

Title: Editor

Deadline: 5:00 PM EASTERN – December 11

Query:

“I am in search of photographers or photographs that have created a
positive change. This could be on a social level: if for example a
photographer’s work on an issue (environmental, social) affected a
change in town or city legislature. This could also be on an
individual level: if someone’s photojournalism touched a reader and
prompted him/her to get involved in a charitable project or donate
to an NGO. These can be famous photographs or they can be photos
from a small local newspaper.

Any info at all is appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!”

There’s a great site called Photowalk List that can help. This blog has calendars of events, photographs and you can even follow them on Twitter!

I just want to give them a shout out and and say I am adding their great blog to my blog roll!

I recommend you add them www.photowalklist.com to your RSS feed – I hope to meet you all at a photowalk soon!

Simulataneous Photos From Around the World – Take Part In It on 08/08/08

World Wide Moment is a photography project which aims to let people around the world participate in a simultaneous moment of peace.  The concept is for people to take photographs simultaneously in celebration of this event.  The ultimate goal for World Wide Moment is two parts. 1) To prove that peace is possible around the world, even for one moment. 2) To display and expose everyone’s images and stores from the moment in galleries and online displays in order to create an international discussion, community, and hopefully intiate a positive change through the art of Photography.
