Passepartout - F.A.Q.
First of all I want to thank you all for joining the project, I'm really excited about this because there will be a bunch of people holding a camera all around the world exactly at the same time. I wish I was on the moon holding a big telescope to see everybody going "click".
And now the answers to all of your questions:
1 - Time Zone
So that there are no mistakes regarding the time, let's all just follow this chart. As you can see above, the board it's fixed on Friday, April 30, 2004, at 3:30:00 PM Lisbon time. If your country or city is not there and you can't figure out what time you should be taking your picture let me know and I'll find that out for you.
2 - Photos
I only want you to send one photo
Yes, you can alter it digitally, meaning that you can adjust colors, contrast, etc etc, but please remember that I want a snapshot of everydaylife so .. hum ... try to keep as real as possible. But real isn't a synonim for bad so of course you can photoshop it, or whatever program you use.
Photos are to be sent by e-mail, I'm trying to create the passepartout@lightstripping.net account but for some reason it's not working so I'm giving up before I have a nervous breakdown. Please send the photos to joana@lightstripping.net with the word passepartout as subject.
I can't be there seeing if you really are taking a photo at that exact time or not but yes it's suppose to be at that time alone and not the day after or something like that cause it just takes the fun out of the whole project. Basically you have 60 seconds to take the photo, conseder it a chalenge :p
Yes you have to be in the photo ( or at least just your feet or your hands or your legs, whatever, be creative.) And you don't have to be alone, you can take a picture of you with all the people you're with at that time.
You can use whatever you want to take the picture, webcams, mobile phones, etc everything's accepted.
3 - People at work
It would be nice if you could take photos at work because that was the whole point, to catch you where you usually are at that time of the day but I undersantand that some bosses won't find it funny if you suddenly pick a camera and take a picture but you can always say what's it all about and it will only take you a few seconds to do it. Maybe you can run to the bathroom at that precise moment? I don't know, I understand that it may be difficult or even impossible to do that in some jobs but it would be fun even if you would just put the camera in your purse and hit the button randomly and all we get to see is the ceiling.
4 - Reminder
Yes I will post a reminder tomorrow.
5 - I think this covers everything but if you still have questions go ahead and shoot
