PhotoBlog your life: Pass the MEME

I think this is a good idea (though I think most of photo/bloggers had it in mind to begin with). Regardless, documentation is everything. Without it we would have no history.

Sept 11, 2003: PhotoBlog your life
[via aboutitall.com]

I've been thinking about September 11th. I've been thinking about the United States response - The Patriot Act. Invading Afganastan & Iraq. Death. Fear. Oppression.

It seems to me that this is NOT the America I want the world to know. So I propose a blogwide Photoblog your Life day on September 11th. Take your camera with you. Take pictures. Show the world your life. Show the world your daily delights. Show the world that we choose life, happiness and freedom.

On September 11th, I'll be carrying my camera with me. I'll snap pictures of my day - the good, the bad, the mundane. And I'm gonna post them here for the world to see. Let's make September 11th a day of affirmation and life.

Update: Several people have asked if this is for citizens of the US only. I replied:

No. This is about community, not geography
We're all human. Let's try to build understanding!

thanks to the good folks at Brainstorms for planting this seed.

A safe, peaceful, and reflective tomorrow to everyone.
