World Photo Day - June 1, 2005 - “capture and record on camera worldwide, our daily lives, and all in just 24 hrs”

The World PhotoDay 2005 project is an exploration into the everyday lives of people on a global scale. The diversity of this planet we inhabit is grand beyond belief. While you are having breakfast reading the paper, what do you think the rest of the world is doing? You will find out what happens on just one single day in the lives of people worldwide. What a journey it will be.

Overview

All photographers retain FULL copyright to their photos.

The goal of this project is simple.

  To show the world we live in through the eyes of photographers worldwide, on one day, in the year 2005.

  This in no way is a contest. It is merely a platform for all to enjoy and review with pleasure.

  One does not have to be a professional, but simply a creature of intrigue. I would like to show the way we live, work, and play during the course of our normal activities. It can be a cattle rancher on the plains of the mid-west in the USA, an individual plowing fields with a water buffalo in Vietnam, or a baker that has baked the same great cookies for longer than you can remember. Everyday life is the key here.

  The date for this project is June 1, 2005. Photographers will retain all rights to their photos.

I retain personally, the right to accept or deny any submissions at my sole discretion. Your submission of any photos are in acceptance of this.

  My hope is we will all gain pleasure from participation, looking through the eyes of others, allowing us to imagine what we were personally doing at the same time, the same day, on the same planet!

  I truly hope we all gain a better insight into the lives we lead. The difficulties, the triumphs, the beauty, the pain, the good and the bad, all in one day.

What a journey it shall be.

Thank you,
