Came across this great Pay-It-Forward project today: Roadside Families and knew I had to share it with all my readers on Blogs of Photogs! I’ll excerpt the “rules” below from their website, but the basic premise is this; photographers taking photos of other photographers family and then paying it forward, all with no money exchanged~ a beautiful idea!
Rules for Paying-It-Forward (note from Mary, this is from their website)
- Once you and your family has been photographed, you have 30 days to photograph another photographer’s family. Don’t be that person that holds up the line because you procrastinated!
- A photographer and their family (defined) can be any family group that consists of a photographer and his/her family. This could be a regular nuclear family, distant cousins, twin siblings, or conjoined twins. Whatever.
- Be creative. Let loose! Free your mind!
Rules for Submissions
- Nudity or vulgarity will not be acceptable. Keep it family-friendly.
- Images can be no more than 900 pixels wide (including your watermark).
- Yes, you may watermark your image.
- To keep the chain going, you need to link to your own family post here on roadsidefamilies.com. This is called a permalink, and the url is shown on each post. For example, if JMC shot Joe’s Family and Joe shoots Kelly’s family, then when Joe posts Kelly’s photo on RoadsideFamilies.com, he needs to link to the one JMC shot of him.
Example (at the top of the post): Photography by Joseph, Click here for Joseph’s family photograph- IMPORTANT! Follow the step by step instructions below for submissions.
So, check it out and find a photographer to photograph your family and then you get to go shoot another photographers family. Love to hear about those that have already done this! Great idea!
best,
Mary
