Photographers let's join forces and do a joint #Fediverse project!

The idea is to make a photo essay about someone interesting in your area or wherever you happen to be. An interesting character but less known or a disappearing profession. Any technique and any equipment. Let's leave our comfort zones and learn something new in the process.

We can upload publications here directly or on blogs as you are more comfortable!

What say you?

Please boost to spread the word!

I'm starting the project!

The plan is to do a #photo #essay on negatives, but as a backup I will also be shooting with a #dslr. Due to the limited amount of text here, the whole thing will appear on my blog (pl & eng) and on Medium. I will of course be uploading some of the photographs here! I expect the whole thing to take three weeks at the most, but as soon as I have any interesting photographs you'll be the first to see them!

I managed to make 5 rolls of 120 negatives: two ORWO, two Delta 100 and one HP5+. All developed and waiting to be scanned. As I couldn't solve the problem with the DSLR scanning, I have to outsource this part. Meanwhile I'm working on the text.

I'm almost done with the #project, the only thing left is to get the text approved and translated into English. The #photo is a little hint to the topic ... I'm sure you'll figure it out ;)

@TomaszSusul Beautiful photos and essay. I sometimes wonder if this craft will disappear one day.

@CatherineBabault Thank you Catherine! There is a risk. There are only handful of luthiers in Krakow which is not enough and he has no one to take over the job. Maybe new ones will appear in time because young people are starting to appreciate handcrafting. Time will tell.

@TomaszSusul Tomasz, I keep my fingers crossed for your project and I have to admit I am looking forward to the amazing photos telling the fascinating stories of their #SilentContributors. I hope others will join your project as well, and we will enjoy beautiful photos and interesting stories behind them.
