581 I am considering putting together a project here in New Orleans for this year’s Mardi Gras which might interest Lightstalker members. I would like to know how many photographers would be interested in coming to the city to document Mardi Gras, set against a backdrop of the recovering city. Photographers would be responsible for their own costs here, and would receive specific assignments to complete over the course of a week or so. I think that I can maximize the profile of the event here in New Orleans and that there is the possibility of interest in media outlets here depending on the level of participation. My question to the group is if this is an appealing idea, and what would be a reasonable charge for participation in this project. Basically I am looking for input at this point and depending on the response I may decide to offer additional features like portfolio reviews or smaller workshops or working groups depending on what folks want. I am open to suggestion at this point. Mardi Gras is one of the premier events in America and set against a backdrop of post-Katrina New Orleans will be of special interest to serious photographers. This will be open to all, no portfolio requirements. Please PM your thoughts on this, or email me at andyimages10001@yahoo.com.
