Once Upon a Time on Planet Earth
Another Global Photographic Project
THE IDEA
Once Upon a Time on Planet Earth there was an event so big that it changed the course of humankind, an event that shook the Earth to its very core. An event we are destined to repeat if we do not change the course of world affairs.
The idea is to get people from all around the globe to participate in a single photographic project on August 6 at exactly 8:15am (the exact time and date of this historic world-altering event).
The project will be limited to 200 participants. For more details on this project and a complete list of rules, please write to littlebookofman(at)hotmail.com Please include your full name, the country you represent, and link to your web-space (if you have one).
ONCE UPON A TIME ON PLANET EARTH will commemorate the first atomic blast used on a civilian population in Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945 at 8:15am. The precise time and date of the bomb blast, which resulted in the beginning of the Nuclear Arms Race.
The project is designed to show that ordinary people are at risk of annihilation, if the world powers do not accept responsibility to sit down at the negotiating table to settle our differences.
The photographs taken on this date and exact time will be used to create an Online Exhibition to commemorate this WORLD-ALTERING EVENT. It is the hope of the sponsors that this will become an annual event with participants from around the globe.
