Subject: Fwd: "24 Hours in Cyberspace" global photo project (fwd)
Given that all of you are great examples of how Cyberspace is changing people's lives all over the world, I thought you would be interested in this message.
Colleen Turner
The Focus of "24 Hours in Cyberspace: Painting on the Walls of the
Digital Cave" will be on the human stories behind the technology;
the new ways in which we work, play, learn, conduct business and
interact. These photographs will be transmitted digitally back to
project headquarters in San Francisco that same day, where an
international team of 80 editors (representing Time, Newsweek, Life,
National Geographic etc), plus designers and programmers will
assemble a unique "instant" 24-hour World Wide Web site. The goal
is to produce unprecedented online, real-time photojournalism on a
global scale.
The idea is to use the power of the Internet to let people around
the world both contribute and view images and stories of things that
happened since they woke up that day.
The goal here is NOT to show people sitting at computer terminals
and it's not about collecting lots of random "bits". The project is
driven by carefully researched assignments and is both photograpic
and edit driven. The goal is to show in photographs and words how
peoples lives are being affected as a results of being wired.
The leads can be about you, a friend, something you read about that
as cool, etc. A team of professional journalists on the 24 Hours
staff will follow up any interesting leads.
If you think you've got a great story to tell and would like to
either submit an assignment idea or learn more about how you can
participate in this cool project please send your ideas to:
Stories@Cyber24.com or check out: http://www.Cyber24.com. Please
also feel free to pass this along to people you know. Do It While You're Thinking About It.

Rick Smolan, creator of "A Day In The Life" and the team that created the , "From Alice to Ocean" and "Passage to Vietnam" photography books, want to shoot you and your friends! They're looking for the best examples about how Cyberspace is changing peoples lives all over the world and if they like your story they may send one of the world's top
photographers to shoot pictures of you on Thursday, February 8,
1996. On that day over 1000 photographers armed with digital
cameras will be dispatched around the globe to show how Cyberspace
is beginning to reach out and affect peoples lives. It's going to be
one of the largest photographic projects ever done and certainly one
of the biggest collaborative internet projects.
