A couple weeks ago I found out about a great project that has been continually growing. WYDWYD is a site online where anyone can join and post a photograph with text answering the question.
The project will go to Burning Man as a huge collage of printed images. They also have localized events to inspire people. I attended Lower Haight’s TRUNK where Gregory Bartning was taking photographs of people who wanted to participate and post an instant image inside the Designer Co-Op. You can also “join” the Lower Haight group online and post an image there at: www.wydwyd.com/trunksf
This was a great event for coming by and getting crafty with strangers. It was very inspiring to see the work that has gone into some of these photographs. Some images were powerful and some were hilarious. If you are in the city stop by and check it out at 544 haight st between steiner and fillmore st. Hurry! It will be coming down at the end of the month (10 days and counting).
Check out my answer! The bubble says “sale benefits artists”.
