Near the beginning of my trip to Mexico, I started receiving a bunch of comments and requests to Help Spread the Project [more on that to come!] – more than the usual amount. Usually this means that someone’s posted a link to the project. And, after checking out my stats, this was indeed the case.

The number one culprit was A Cup of Jo, a blog on art, photography and more – if you look closely in the link, you’ll see the link to The Anonymous Photo Project – trust me.

Also, there was a glowing post on Take Nothing But Polaroids. My favorite lines:

If this were the Olympics and freak’n awesome social experiments was a event. These guys would win gold!

The Project was also mention on a Norwegian blog, The Keep. The link is “steder” in the line “I etterkant har det litt gjentatt andre steder!” Which, run through Google Translate, translates as “Following are some repeated elsewhere!”

Also, Friends with Benefits,  and my first Tumbl.

Thanks everyone!

Check out Another Day of Life. In 2005 and 2006, the creator of this project went to Mozambique with a bunch of disposable cameras and handed them out to local people to take pictures of their everyday life. There’s a bunch of interesting results.

After I was on Breakfast Television, I was contacted by Graeme Murdoch who is working on a project called Cultural Connect Scotland for the Homecoming Scotland 2009 celebrations. Cultural Connect Scotland connects communities – photographically – in Scotland and Canada that share the same name.

“The aim of Cultural Connect Scotland is to form creative and cultural links between Scotland and its global community. We are currently engaged in a major project to join Scotland and Canada in photographic conversations using digital photography to link communities in Canada and Scotland with a particular emphasis on same-name towns like Calgary, Banff, Hamilton, New Glasgow and New Edinburgh. The best photographs will be exhibited in galleries and public spaces around Scotland during Homecoming 2009.”

I got the chance to meet him while he was in Vancouver for a short period to discuss our projects and he took a few cameras back to Scotland with him. Hopefully some of them will come back!

Today, poppytalk, a Vancouver-based art and design blog, blogged about The Anonymous Photo Project. Check poppytalk out – they feature a lot of great artists. Thanks poppytalk!
