Over at Photojojo, a Project idea has made it’s appearance on their main site.  Project: Pay It Foward is a very simple concept that begins with the click of the shutter.  The rules are quite simple, you start the Project by taking a Portrait Photograph of another Photographer that you know.  Sounds simple, right?  Well, want to put my own twist to Project: Pay it Foward and bring it to a centralized location, here at my site.

Here’s what I want to do.  I’m going to start up the project by going out and finding a fellow Photographer that is willing to have their portrait taken and is also willing to join in on this little experiment.  From there, they will hopefully continue the chain of events and it will be off and running.  Now, at this point it sounds like there isn’t likely going to be a sound result for the Portraits taken, but here’s where my site comes into play.  As each photographer takes the Portraits of their fellow photographer, they then submit their photo to me at the following e-mail address: payitforward@tonylynch.ca.  As the project grows and expands, I will slowly begin the creation of a collaberative collage of photographs of the Photographers as they’re submitted.  The expected end result?  Well, hopefully, as the Project is passed from the hands of photographer to photographer, hopefully it will escape the bounds of the Edmonton city limits and eventually become a world wide event.  I know that’s quite the optimistic look at this, but wouldn’t it be absolutely wonderful to one day stumble across a collage of photographs containing Portraits of photograpehrs all across the world?  The goal may be a something we’ll need to work at, but in the end it will definitly be a wonderful achievement to have hundred, thousands, or even millions of photographs compiled into one giant collage.  At least I think so!
