http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/muslim-eid-around-the-world-looking-for-more-photos An entire Lightstalkers thread via RSS/XML. en-us The Muslim Eid al-Fitr is currently being celebrated around the world. I had the idea that perhaps we could pool together material for an interesting global photo feature. Realize we’ll probably be too late to serve daily newspapers, but there must be other outlets interested. So if you have photos online and are interested in participating, post a link here. I’ve got some on <a href="http://www.msmediaservice.com/joomla/index.php?/nepal-photo/muslim-religion.html">Eid al-Fitr, Nepal</a>, have a look! If there’s interest, I’ll make a web presentation with low-res images and send out a press release. Thanks. Sat, 11 Oct 2008 11:20:48 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/muslim-eid-around-the-world-looking-for-more-photos I have a collection from the last three years, but couldn't find time to work on them. Just one frame I ever uploaded in my Flickr stream. !http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2104/1589941233_b9e4aa4d34.jpg! But I could not understand properly what is your plan. Can you please elaborate a bit more?

It’s basically the same idea as a photographer collective. Together, we can cover a large part of the world, whereas on our own, we can just present photos of one location, missing out on the “big pictureâ€* a global event like this has. Together, we can also help each other bringing the feature to market and presenting it to editors. Everyone have their own contacts, together we can reach a much broader market than any single one of us is capable of. I’ve done /been part of a few projects like this before (<a href="http://footballshiddenstory.mediaroom.com/">Football’s Hidden Story</a>, <a href="http://www.ipnphotos.com/gallery/1033">A Global Haircut</a>). Personally I really like the way it gives a glimpse of different cultures and locations. The first problem with this kind of project is always: What to do with the high-res photos? But it’s manageable. Most simply, each photographer keeps them in his/her own file and only send them to the end client if/when required. I imagine that some mags, web sites and various organizations would be interested. The photos will be sold as rights-managed, and profit will be split among photographers who’s photos are sold. That's it, hope it helped on the understanding...

Thats pretty interesting. I believe the two stories that you mentioned are solely yours. I find only your name as the photographer. I would like to know if you have already come up with a definite plan for your collective, like the initial investments a photographer will have to make, how the profit would be split, marketing effort, etc. Let me know how we could discuss on these. Regards Thu, 02 Oct 2008 16:52:45 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/muslim-eid-around-the-world-looking-for-more-photos#131116 Sorry I mean the football story not the haircut one. Thu, 02 Oct 2008 17:03:59 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/muslim-eid-around-the-world-looking-for-more-photos#131119 Santanu, no, it's just this one project. At least for now! Realize the credits aren't obvious on the Football story, but just to set things straight, I only took a few of the photos. I've now changed the link so there shouldn't be any more confusion. Thu, 02 Oct 2008 18:43:38 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/muslim-eid-around-the-world-looking-for-more-photos#131122 Morten I would be interested, I've got images from Eid in Brooklyn, NY @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/86681342@N00/sets/72157600260930911/ Thu, 02 Oct 2008 23:49:18 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/muslim-eid-around-the-world-looking-for-more-photos#131137 Eid in Kampala, Uganda: http://demotix.com/en/2008/09/30/muslims-uganda-observe-eid http://demotix.com/en/2008/09/30/muslims-uganda-observe-eid (I own the copyright, so can give the images without watermark if there is interest.)

Fri, 03 Oct 2008 16:46:02 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/muslim-eid-around-the-world-looking-for-more-photos#131217 HelloMorten I have send you a PM but you have reaction on it and you have not look to the Muslims images ?? Sat, 04 Oct 2008 07:11:11 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/muslim-eid-around-the-world-looking-for-more-photos#131262 Hi Robert, thanks for your message. Had a look at your images. You have many fine images of Muslims. I just couldn't tell which ones were from Eid, which ones were not. And to all: So far we've got 6 locations covered, all very interesting. But with some 200 countries in the world, Muslims in many of them, and nearly 30.000 members on lightstalkers, I was hoping for a few more. Think we should give it a few more days and see what turns up here. Then I'll send you all a message about where we stand. Thanks! Sat, 04 Oct 2008 12:59:58 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/muslim-eid-around-the-world-looking-for-more-photos#131285 Good luck Morten!
