Photographs Wanted!

imax

I have recently been asked to photograph the production process of a show being put on at a local college here in Davie Fl. The show is called The Human Adventure and is being produced and directed by several seniors as their final project for their masters degree, sort of like a thesis. The producers are looking to incorporate photographs as a visual aid throughout the two hour production. Here is there vision.

Through live and recorded music, multimedia and visual projection, voiceover and on-screen narration, dance and intuitive movement, and interactive dramatic performance, this creative team and their multi-talented, diverse cast will open your eyes, ears, hearts, and minds to today's modern human journey, as told through Axel's eyes... and Campbell's outline of the hero stories within each of us. From the superficial ego to the symbolic unconscious, nostalgic pain to profound naïveté... from confused confidence to curious humility and everything in between, The Human Adventure takes it all apart and puts it back together again with life's one core purpose: connection , or, Resurrecting the Memory of Love . Prepare to be moved...

There is no monetary gain from this, but there is the opportunity to have your work shown and get credit for that. If you are interested in sharing any of your photographs for this production, I will be sure that not only you, but also Smugmug, and Dgrin will get credit for them.

The photographs that are needed are as follows.

* Baby boy in blue


* Baby girl in pink

* First communion picture - girl

* Bar Mitzvah picture - boy

* Teen girl in school uniform

* young lady putting on make-up (normal)

* young lady putting on make-up (way too much, very fake looking)

* Teen boy in sports outfit

* Perfect housewife/mom

* perfect housewife drinking and looking bedraggled and stoic at end of
the night

* Businessman/hard-working dad (suite, tie, briefcase)

* business man zoning out on couch w/ jacket off, tie loose, tears
streaming down face

* Bank account: wallet with check card and money in it? what other
image comes to mind?

* Grande latte (coffee)

* High fashion pictures

* Pictures of sports cars

* Khakis: GAP ad?

* Images of mundane life: traffic jam, man or woman yelling at
someone,depressed person, kid crying, person in front of tv (zoned

* Images of loved ones: mother, father, sister, brother, lover, friend,
daughter, son

* Fairy tale images: stories heard as a child, mythology, etc.


* Images showing culture: traditional costumes, etc

* Extreme close up of an eye or eyes

* Extreme close up of eye(s) tearing up

* beautiful scenery: nature, ocean, sunrise, sunset, underwater shots,
etc.

* snowflake crystal

* snowflake crystal shape but all rotten and brown

* a tall building

* a pendulum or one of those pendulum toy things with the row of silver
balls that clink back and forth

* visual representation of these concepts (however you want to present
them):

"crossing the threshold" "body, heart, and soul" "your personal myth"
"the mask we wear" "self-doubt" "isolation" "peace" "acceptance"
"appreciation" "trust" "attention" "compassion" "be a good girl" "be a
tough boy" "shatter the shell" "returning home" "new life" "real
revolution is within" "walk to the beat of your own drum"

* "the mirror effect" (i.e., when we look at others we are close to, we
see ourselves)

* a memorial service

* ashes being scattered across the ocean

* someone crawling out of the water

* someone falling backward

* sky full of glittering stars

* the earth from afar

* pictures of accomplishments (graduation? performance bows? etc.),
positive family history, father figures with their sons/daughters of
all ages (maybe mentors, teachers, or friends not just fathers)

If interested I would imagine that you can post your submission below each item like I have already done. If you do post them please provide a link to the full size image so I can copy them to disc. Use your imagination and thanks in advance to anyone interested.

The list is amazing, all it leaves out is the connection of humans and animals through the ages - and I only have dog photos. I didn't think it was fair that the girls aspire to wear school uniforms, put on tacky make-up and be perfect housewives: the fellers get to wear the sports gear and be business movers and shakers, - even if it does reduce them to tears, at least they had a go. The end production sounds like an emotional roller coaster.

Rehearsals started on Saturday for the show and I have to agree that it will be an emotional roller coaster, but in a good way.

The list at first I thought was a random list but after hearing the first run through and hearing it explained the lightbulb went off and now I can see what they are going to be used for.

What an amazing group of responses. Thank you Sid and Ben for the photographs. They truely are appreciated and since all the proceeds from the show are going to the Lovewell Institute for the Creative Arts Scholarship Fund I'm sure that they will appreciate them as well. Thank you once again.
