This project is about creating social change, by putting out the most powerful spells and imagery to help create positive world views.
Media too often tells us we are not good enough, not beautiful as we are, and that we should be fearful. It promotes government and consumerism, and we need more media that promotes community and creativity.
Let's see positive messages that empower us to believe we are all beautiful, and can do anything we dream.
Since high school, I've been doing slide shows sharing images and spells that offer inspiration and many points of view. The combination of both words and images are much more powerful than either one alone.
Now with a slide scanner, I'm going through my large collection of slides and journals, to create posters that will be put in schools, prisons, group homes, office buildings, or anywhere people may benefit from a shift in perspective.
I've created some examples: actionhero.smugmug.com/gallery/2145782 (use the slideshow button)
And now I challenge you. What messages do you want to put out into the world?
Post your submissions in the photo album at actionhero.tribe.net
The prize will be poster size prints of the top three. First place will get all three prints of the top three. Second place gets two, and third gets one.
There will be a panel of judges from the Action Hero Tribe.
There will be a post on Action Hero stating who they are when they are confirmed.
You can submit as many images as you'd like (700 px high -- We'll make a screen saver using all of the best.)
To make these images into posters, they will need come from large files. Small file sizes (72 dpi / 700 px high) are good for the screen saver, but not for posters, so submit them, but know they can't be judged with the ones to be printed.
My scanner scans at a resolution of 4000 dpi. I'm not sure what is needed to make a clear image 2ft high. I'm still new to printing digital. Do you know?
Since I'm hosting the challenge, my work will not be included.
We don't have a deadline yet, but I'm thinking around March or April, so we have lots of time to build interest and do good work.
After the winter holidaze, Action Hero Network will be heading down to central Mexico for a couple months to create a cultural exchange community center in Roblito, and you are welcome to join that adventure as well: www.solomax.com/roblito.html ...lots of good photo opportunities there.
Suggestions welcome as to how we can make this contest even better.
Have fun!
