At 6:35pm on October 15, 2011, Sarah Nestheide said…: I presented on WDYDWYD this morning at the Kentucky Art Education Association state conference. It was really well attended, and I fully expect that it will generate tons of new work. And, it was a really good presentation (and it isn't often that I brag). I am going to send information on how I teach the project to about 20 different teachers.

I "practiced" a bit at work a week or 2 before we left for Burning Man. I had some people I work with pose, and our 7 year old daughter was my first try. And I took all of those with my camera phone set to black and white.

Do I need to get releases signed by those people I shot at work, or will you not use them for anything?

I just presented the WDYDWYD project to my photography students and they are absolutely stoked! I love when they get this excited about a project. It reminds me why I am an art teacher. Thank you!

At 12:08pm on February 22, 2011, Heather Nichols said…: Thanks! It was the highlight of my playa experience & was happy to be able to participate again! :) It's a very fun, engaging, and thought provoking project.

I would love to do this when I travel abroad (festivals around the world....Boom, Nowhere, Ozora, Glastonbury, Machinefest, other Bman regionals, etc.). Let me know if that fits with your vision of the project!

At 2:51pm on January 31, 2011, Linda Foster said…: Thanks for the advice. Check back to my photos & I'll upgrade them to fit the standards of this forum K? I would appreciate any sites you know of that can help me. :-) Linda

Little bit more about me:: I like to ask questions. Just published my first book: SEEING BEYOND SIGHT: PHOTOGRAPHS BY BLIND TEENAGERS (Chronicle Books). www.seeingbeyondsight.org

Here is the book I published in 2007

Seeing Beyond Sight: Photographs by Blind Teenagers (Chronicle Books)

“uniquely powerful” ~ Utne Magazine | "savvy, passionate, witty, and yes, beautiful" ~ FastCompany.com | "This book will make you look—and look again—at how you perceive and what you assume." ~ Shambhala Sun | "demonstrates countless new ways for all of us to think about vision, art and perception, and what it really means to see" ~ Chronicle Books

You can get it on Amazon for about $16 now — a great holiday gift for an artist, photographer, teacher, philosopher or family member.

Just started this new wdydwyd platform - does it work?

I just used Ning to set up this new site that will hopefully add a ton of features and interaction capabilities to wdydwyd. This project is ultimately a massively collaborative art project, and the only limitation has been the tools to facilitate this more. Let's see how this works. Feedback is welcomed in the WEB group discussion.

Or, just post here what works or could work better to help this thing take off more.

For one, I'm testing out this blog function to see how… Continue
