This just hit me. Every five years there is a 24hour nation-wide "24hours in the life of New Zealand". Thousands of photographers take to the streets to record on one day every facet of life. they publish a very large an lavish book from it.
We could use the idea to good effect for a long-running series
- A day in the life of policemen
- A day in the life of teachers
- A day in the life of cabbies
- A day in the life of dustmen
etc etc
Some of them would be very tough .. isn't that great

Cool idea :-)
And, along that same line, inspired by that same thing, what about haveing a 24 hour speed challenge - A day in the life of...
Like just a typical day in the life shot, of anyone. |

Sounds like fun, but also challenging.

And having just woken up I've thought of another wrinkle to the idea of a series of challenges like this.
One time it can be a Member Challenge, the next an Open Challenge.
That way both teams get to have a go and the difference in editing rules would produce some interesting comparisions. We would soon see if post-production means as much as the original idea and execution of the picture taking.

Wonderful idea!
Since it is a rather loose and open challenge in most cases, the topic haters shouldn't feel too restricted and stifled in their creativity.
If it was a regular thing, then it wouldn't matter so much if a particular one doesn't work with our life/location/time allowance/season etc - we can just skip it, and wait for the next one. |

i just thought of something. if this was done as a challoenge, wouldn't it be great if we could tag our submission with the hour it represents, then votes could be tallied as per the hour, ending up with 24 winners, representing a whole day in 24 different lives.
or is that mad?

In the United States, they are called garbage collectors.

| There were books published like that in the US. It was called 24/7. They published a book for the United States as a whole, then each state had their own book with images only from that state taken by photogs from those state. It was pretty much limited to photojournalists, but they did have a few pics in each book from amateurs. It sounds to me like the New Zealand thing is/was similar to this. |

This idea's a little different. Those books were focused on a region, these would be focused on a specific occupation as practiced around the world. |

Hmm... I already have a project planned almost exactly along these lines. With this title. Thought I'd let you know now in case anyone gets upset when it happens.
