An Idea: Nikon PictureCrew // PictureSchool // PicturePark // PictureTrip
Faris has been tawn bout strategy & creative work as continuous processes - not flights and limited campaigns. It kind of reminds me of Miguel Luciano's characterization of social change work as "The Forever Project" ... there's no 'end' to either business or social problems (well, there won't be until Sweet Minty comes and takes us up to play Draw4 with Moses); success in business and social endeavors = consistent effort and constant, incremental progress ... it's a hard reality for type-A problem solvers who like instant gratification and want to put an end to whackness (like yours truly), but the truth nonetheless.
So...I'm still on this "give people creative tools" idea & was thinking this morning... the next level of Picturetown would be so very cool. Why not give more and more people the opportunity to experiment with a creative tool and experience the D40 in real life? Why not turn the campaign into a mission? Why not continuously find more and more small groups of people to document and engage with?
IfIRanIt, I would give a D40 to...
