Hi everyone,
I am currently conducting a rephotography project of photographs taken during the voyage of HMS Challenger (1872-1876). Primarily a vessel put to sail in the name of science, the ship and her crew accumulated over 500 photographs of people and places encountered during the voyage. Using a custom-designed social network site as an "online" vessel (http://www.snschallenger.org), my aim is to collectively rephotograph the locations in the pictures and learn from the stories and experiences that participants have.
As the original voyage visited many places around the world (including some very far flung locations) the project is looking for volunteers living in or visiting places including Salvador da Bahia in Brazil, Banda and Ternate in Indonesia, Tonga, Fiji, Wellington in New Zealand, Cape Yorke in Australia, Cebu in the Philippines, as well as many many other locations. A complete list of locations can be found here: http://sns-challenger.ning.com/photo/album/listFeatured
Anyone can volunteer for the project. They only need a camera, access to a computer and an internet connection.
I realise that not everyone on this list would be interested in taking part, but ... ideally, if everyone on this list wouldn't mind sharing the project with their friends, students, associates, and colleagues on their networks (Facebook, Twitter, Blogs etc), I would be extremely and eternally grateful (i'll even give a mention in my thesis!)
The link to share is: http://sns-challenger.ning.com
I hope the list can help with what is a very ambitious task!
Kindest regards
