Well, I'm already participating in the Alphabet project but I'd love to be a back-up for Georgia if no one else responds from here. I know there are a few other folks from Georgia but I'd hate to see this project fall flat if nobody else responds which I's sure someone will. :-)

I will be a backup for Minnesota. I know there are others here from the "North Star" state. All this time I thought we were the land of 10,000 lakes.
I also second the post about it being seasonal. Whatever the form the project takes on, wouldn't it be nice to maybe do two seasons?

Hopefully this project will be open for submissions for at least 6 months so as to provide a variety of different seasonal conditions? Otherwise the US is going to look awfully "wintery" for a lot of the midwest/northeastern states... =]

Yea, this came up as well when we were figuring the theme out. The details on an exact submission deadline will be anounced once we get all fifty states.
As of right this post we only have twenty-one states filled. So this means that there are still thirty spots available for this project. If you know someone who may be interested in representing a state that has not yet been chosen, feel free to PM them and link them to this thread.

This project will probably extend through the Winter and at leat into the Spring as well. We will have one final deadline but will obviously take submissions prior to the deadline. So we'll keep you updated. Sorry about not clairfying this earlier.

Lee,

It would be interesting to watch this project grow... You may want to edit your original post to include the 50 states and which of them have been filled. It also may require some profile searching to look for participants from the states you are missing.

I could potentially do W.Va if no one steps up. The state motto is not particularly exciting to me. Must take extra batteries as electricity is scarce there, being new technology and all (sorry, gotta pick on W.Va. State law I think). I am not far from there as well, and know some nice areas to shoot.

Chris's offer notwithstanding, I would be willing to be the WV contributor. Having lived here for only 10 years, I still laugh at the stereotypes, and I may have to consult some friends for ideas on capturing "Mountaineers are always free."

Please count me in.

I'd like to shoot for Pennsylvania, but it looks like I'd be 2nd alternate. :(

I just recently moved to Illinois, however I cant think of anything for that motto! I can do Utah since I will be there for 2-3 weeks during X-mas and New Years visiting family (as I lived there until my move here) just PM me. But I must say, please others from these states step up as I am still learning and may be better as an alternative. ;)

Please put me down for Colorado and New Mexico - Van has already put his name down for Colorado so I can be the back up for that. We live so close to New Mexico and are there all the time so I'd love to be listed for that state.
